This week's Topic of the Week wants to know what you would do to bring back realm pride
|
There's so much talk going on about the lack of realm pride and realm hopping. How easy it's become to log in to the game and find out that Albion has the relics, or Midgard is raging a campaign making the frontiers blue. Simply log out, grab a drink and log back in to the realm that has the upper hand at the moment.
It wasn't always that easy. Once upon a time, if you had Hibs on Kay, you had to have Hibs on Iseult and Lancelot. If you wanted to play Albion or Midgard, it had to be on a different cluster. When it changed, they had realm timers. You had to wait a length of time before switching out to an opposing realm. Now, the timers have been downgraded so it takes you longer to walk in to your kitchen to pour a drink than it does to switch realms. Cross realming, realm hopping and even realm point power leveling have become common place.
So what do you think, is there a viable way to bring back realm pride, and how would it improve the game?
Topic of the Week would love to hear your thoughts on realm pride!
Hey, I'm looking for some topic ideas. If you have any you'd like to see posted, please drop me a line!

Realm pride on a Co-op server? Eh?
Why would you post this here?

Everyone that plays here doesn't play here exclusively. Topic of the Week gets posted to all 4 boards regardless of the topic.

I think you'd have to start by bringing back players.

Please show me the forum rule that says someone must play the game to post here. Otherwise, stfu.

Ah okay, it's similar to the bot that posts topics on the WoW forum, just from you instead of a bot. My bad, wasn't aware of that.

Really? I played Mid/Guin back before Gaheris and when I moved here I left all my realm bias behind.

Quaz the bot only posts to the general board. We have to post to the others since a lot of people don't read the main board.
And I tend to stick with Hibs...kinda funny how that works out

I don't think I ever really had realm pride. I had a general distaste for Albion, but that's about it.

I only had realm pride when it benefitted me directly. Otherwise I hated everyone equally.

I came to Gaheris from Lance Mid and I still think "Filthy hibs" and "Stinking albs" from time to time. Since I've been on Gaheris I don't think it much. Once they pretty much got rid of the realm timers I became a permanent Gaheris resident. I didn't even transfer my toons to Ywain.
I can't even begin to describe the frustration of taking the center keep with 20 people vs. like 3 albs and 2 hibs. You take it and suddenly 15 people need to go and amazingly enough suddenly there are 17 albs (or hibs). coming to take center keep. I'm not sure keep defense even happens anymore. People just roll the keep, log out, afk for 5 minutes, log in another realm and take it again.

There was more realm pride when the realms were less of a carbon copy of each other.
the patches for a long while now have been to not just address class balance, but to balance the realms as a whole. Making no one spell or ability a realm exclusive. Even many rr5 RAs have been seriously downgraded in line with this.

Maybe it's one of your new trolls that have started posting here and they are on an alt since their main account is banned?

Why not? That scenario smacks of both unoriginality and unfunny, so it fits the typical troll perfectly in their oblivious delusions of funny and clever
