Prydwen : 20 % hibernia 40 % midgard 40 % alb

[Malena]

I`m very dissapointed join prydwen (16pm 1400 playing), join hibernia, make /who all and see only 200 hibis playing, plz hibernia needs u ! join hibernia.

We have DF 1 day per month...., RvR if we are 2 or 3 fg can make nothing vs 6 or 7 fg of albs and midis, relics all from midgard and alb, guilts as nolby pride stop playing here.....plz stop join mid & alb... Would be very nice if eache realm was 33 % of server. and very very funny.

 

[old.Downanael]

Doubt this post really helps,there's just too many chanters PL their alts on 4 fin


It's really 20% vs 40%?

 

[Sharma]

But still when hibs pull their finger out, they can still kick most others arses around emain, i know i have falled Victim to a few time when hibs gotten themselves organised and ran over everyone else..Lourker always seems to be doing a good join though

 

[parisienscot]

I personally am always praying that I won't run into hibbies when I'm out rvr - ok lower population but you are seriously good despite that in rvr.

RvR isn't really the biggest of issues, although it is to some extent.

It's VERY hard to find groups to go RvR with, if we had twice the population as the other realms do there'd be more groups to RvR with for starters

XP'ing is horrifying nowadays, it's darn near impossible to level up a new char via normal means, the only real method nowadays is to PL up your alts, servers should never have to end up like that.

PvE raids, we can pull them off but not with the kind of numbers we need, we'd all love to try and kill the Galladoria end boss but our population can't sustain even getting to touch the bugger right now, his mates knock us flat out.

We do need more people, but not just the odd person here and there, we need a swarm of about a 100+ new players who are willing to do the xp grind the slow and classic way and we need them to all join spread across the period of about 2 weeks, but the problem is, I really can't see it happening.

I think we have more chance of the Swedish, Norwegian and Greek goverments deciding to send their countries into isolation and ban their citizens from using the net to bring the Alb and Mid populations down to our level tbh

That goes for Albion aswell btw.

Could you at least think about the advantages an underdog realm has?

Albion has too many people and this can work against us badly. When an Albion group goes to Emain at a busy time, the chances are theres 4 or more groups out there already. When we're looking after hibs/mids running around, its usually a long wait between each fight.

Now, look at what a hib group has. You enter Emain at a busy time, theres plenty of albs to kill! You don't run about for 10 minutes trying to find a group to kill, they're already there. As long as your group has the skill to take them down - you can win easily! If you avoid the zerging points (such as milegates), then your chances of being killed by more than 1 group at a time is much lower.

It may be more awkward for you to find plenty of active people to do similar things in what they're interested in, however it is still possible. The rewards for RvR'ing in a smaller populated realm result in a lot more realm points. Nolby Pride managed to earn a lot of realm points very quickly on Prydwen. The amount of people who you can kill in RvR makes it a lot easier with fewer people in your realm.

Don't think of it as impossible. Theres a good challenge out there if someone is organised enough to take advantage of it.

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

Amen

 

[the_smurflord]

The other great thing about being in an underpopulated Hibernia, is that you get to kill Gelid.

 

[Edlina]

Ouroboros not everyone thinks all about rp's here, that's not what we need more people for, it's raids, keep taking stuff like that, you know how hard it is to organize something in hibernia (well ofc. you don't) as simple as a keep take? it's virtually impossible, where the alb zerg in emain takes DC on a daily basis simply coz there's nothing else to do. We don't care that much about the farming of rp's. If you can't see that, then obviously you don't know how it is in Hibernia.

 

[Malena]

? amen ? all hibis wish be in your situation, impressive cry for run 10 min ? LOL but u have all keeps always because your poblation is x 3 hibernia..... alb dont cry for run 10 min !! what a guy!

 

[Balbor]

i think one cause is only 2 english servers that mean people can only really play 2 of the realms. If they introduce the free level 30 for underpopulated realms you might find a lot of Excal mids/albs come over to hib/prydwen

 

[old.Greggor]

We do need some more people but ican see it getting less and less with the new online games coming out this server will be a 2 way battle (not there yet but it is close).

I would like to see mythic doing more for under populated realms like an xp and rp boost depend how underpopulated the realm is?

If at is stand now that alb and mid got 7% less xp and rps per kill and hib got 13% more xp and rps per kill, would this have an affect on people.

Hib group enters emain, meets a group of albs/mids on a zw, start to kill them, 2nd group adds..then 3rd group, then deaded. If not that, hib group enters emain and is squished by all 3fg at the same time.

Tis all very well saying, kill groups quick away from zerg points and move off, but the only groups that dont hang around zerg points are good groups, and thers lottsa good alb/mid groups that run around emain these days. Even with 3/4 pbaoe mages in group, its not possible to kill them quick enuff before another group gets told where you are, from /cg or /pm.

Most runs into emain as a hib, is kill a group, get killed, spend 10/15 mins running back to emain, kill a group, get killed, etc-
But, been the only hib group in emain is nice sometimes, get to kill lottsa stuffs now and then. Lately though, emain runs as a hib group dont seem to last longer than 10/15 mins, and get more anoying than fun some times :<

i saw 2000 on prydwen and 500 in midgard, i seriously doubt 500+ were anon, and you also never seen more than around 520 in midgard too.

 

[Sharma]

the population split doesnt always go 40/40/20

there are times when the population is more of a 33.33333333333333333333/33.333333333333333333333/33.33333333333333333

Never see any more on Albion really. I'm sure a sizeable number are anon. Either that or they are tons and tons of anon hibbies.

Which server are u playing on not prydwen

highest i have seen it 420ish tonight we have 427/1969 people on nice and high for hib. Which is 21.6% of the population

Alb at this time had 680/1969 which is 34.5% population

This is at 21.15 gmt

 

[old.Vae]

The last accurate Duskwave updates I recall seeing had Alb with about 36/37%, Mid slightly lower on 34/35% ish and Hibbies on about 28/29% ish. So Hibs were lower on population but its not as bad as they make out. At the moment Alb has 685/1937 so 35.46% (plus the anons).

It used to be Mid had the highest % but I guess a lot of the initial surge all left there and went to other realms.

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

I wish sotl could transfer chars to hib.

would pwn.

[old.Cher]

sharma i really have to diagree with u here, the only time hib is even remotely close to having equal no.s with an opposing realm is if we organise a relic raid at 3 am..... and even then they still have more people defending then us attacking.

 

[Falcon]

IMO you should all defect to Hibernia leaving only zerg newbies in Mid and Alb to farm over and over until they all quit the game then you can go home again

 

[old.Cher]

Bingo!

 

[hangianix]

To be honest I would like if more ppl join to Pry/Hib and no more to Pry/Alb. Believe me, Greaper said well, very annoying to go out to Emain and find there 5-6-7 fg of Albs, so virtually no enjoyable RvR at all. You bump in every 10 second to an alb grp, so personally I rather log. When all the newcomers will have reached the lvl 50 and go to RvR it will be even worse.

A new RvR area what all of the members of the realms can reach with porting method maybe bring more hibs to RvR, tho it wouldn't rise the population.

 

[eynar]

Where do you get those up-to-date numbers Soulfly?

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

? amen ? all hibis wish be in your situation, impressive cry for run 10 min ? LOL but u have all keeps always because your poblation is x 3 hibernia..... alb dont cry for run 10 min !! what a guy!

What are you talking about? At least your 10 minute run is mildly interesting, rather than staring at the space where Visur should be for 15 mins Then again, this is a contravertial topic, I shall not go into it.

And also Smurf, I'm not going to give you a meaningful response, because you're not worth it <grin>

Is that not more a problem that people cba to defend keeps, rather than a population problem? ...unless there were only 14 hibs on at the time <shrugs>
