It seems to me that there are far to many variables between the realms in this game & its getting worse as new content is added,this is making game balancing much harder to achieve & looking at the US servers realm population, & the perception that Mythic dont want 2 piss off 2 many off there player base. almost impossible because of financial considerations.
Anyway here are my thoughts on DAoC 2
Start with the 3 realms as is,put a cap of no more than 100 accounts more than any other realm on each server ,U can apply 2 move your account into another realm, this takes a month if the cap allows it,otherwise u go on a list. Keep the current races but make all classes available 2 all realms & all available to any race, a lot are similar & could be combined, some pruning & merging of classes would have 2 be done, so when u switch realms your Thane would become a Champion off same level different class name but same in all other respects,SB-->Inf-->NS etc.
This over time would allow you to experience more off the game even with /level i havnt the time 2 devote on 2 realms certainly not 3 if there was another english server.But if i could move my Level 50,s i might think about it more,So as it is ive played all my time in 1 realm with a bit of dabbling in the others.& have only scratched the surface of those 2 realms.
Your Gold u can take is limited same with equipment, this would be 2 discourage accounts from constantly being moved.& have more of an effect on accounts with higher lvl characters. if u apply 2 move in your 1st week of activating an account the month wait is removed.
All realms would use the same melee tables ie slash,crush & thrust & all armour types would be available to all realms with class restrictions as is.
To increase the player choice & input all races would start with lower base stats, say 40 across the board, but have a larger pool off available points with the declining effect currently being 10 set to around 40 points added to any one stat. if u want the high dex Highlander/Troll/Firbolg caster so be it, its a Fantasy game so why not.
This would also have the added effect of making RvR characters more variable therefore not as easy to target on an assumption, ie quick get the Dorf he is probably a healer or Firbolg a Druid etc
The other consequence off this would be any class balancing would not be seen as a realm nerf as it would effect all realms the same.
Although i applaud Mythics original idea of more variety between realms balancing it all seems 2 be getting worse not better.
Anyway this was written on the fly so 2 speak & dives around a lot & doesnt cover everything by far, but hopefully u can see my thoughts through the fog.
BTW i love this game as much as i did nearly 2 years ago but after that time i can see it has problems.
