Relic affect on Population

[Azathrim]

Hey folks

Now that the relics changed hands this weekend, I have grabbed the population numbers for sunday morning in the XML. If we foolishly assume the XML numbers are correct, we can also assume that these numbers have not been affected by the relic movements.

In a weeks time, I'll try to put up new numbers and see how the effect have been. Did any realm lose or gain alot of Last week RP or Active characters? And, will it be possible to see a trend between one realm losing the relic and that realms population being affected?

Anyways...

Here is the numbers for Sunday the 25th at 12:00 CET:

Last week RP
Alb: 116 987 704 + 57 752 713 = 174 740 417
Hib: 108 192 832 + 45 397 439 = 153 590 271
Mid: 80 376 353 + 46 799 158 = 127 175 511

Active Characters
Alb: 1 498 + 947 = 2445
Hib: 1 230 + 713 = 1943
Mid: 1 112 + 753 = 1865


Cheers

PS: The format is:
Realm: Excalibur + Prydwen = Total

The numbers aren't correct.

 

[Azathrim]

The numbers aren't correct.

I feared as much. Able to provide us with correct numbers or a timeframe on which the XML will get to work Mr. E&E?

No.

 

[Azathrim]

Ah well, a shame.

Well, we can only see if there are any reaction in the XML - although not trust the numbers now that the E&E's have announced the XML does not work.

this is kinda ridiculous...
cluster killed part of the roleplay. half mids have hib alts and almost the other half has alb ones... and vice versa i guess for the other realms respectively.imo they should increase the waiting penalty before swapping realms to like a day or two instead of some minutes... or even better make players choose only 1 server and pay them back in a way? this is just lol ... i listen the re-take bg and some peeps say ah... time to play my alb toons etc...and more think it but don't say it u know what i mean anyway u find this ok?

how u calculate "underpopulation" anyway?

and plz plz tell me why hibs always get to get the bonuses from underpopulation rules? i mean there are times that we mids where less than hibs for a certain period of time (more or less a month?) and all we got was "no realm is currently benefiting from the bla bla bla" .... has any of u seen the most active players list l8ly ? ruled by hibs ...

No.

im giving u 15 minutes to, otherwise im calling chuck norris!

the xml hasnt worked properly for months now, only way to do it i guess would be to do a /who every 2 hours on each realm today then work out an average, even then it wouldnt be accurate because of anons, though i would assume its pretty much the same percentage of anon people, and ofc BBs in each realm.

 

[>.< Pooned]

i believe that in albs we get more and more peeps after the relics, didnt count anything (average etc) i just see many soloers around......(ofc duo trio etc too )

sometimes very annoying when u get added....

As always, one solution to the problem is: the deletion of Midgard.

Why do hibs always get 50% reduction in BP costs for claiming keeps, when mid has been given under pop bonuses sometimes with basicly the same stats as what hib used to have, and we never get 50% bp reduction bonuses.

Why is that? Hib being favoured when given the bonuses?

Clustering did completely destroy the spirit of the game.

A longer waiting period wouldn't really help tho, people would still end up on the side with the relics.

well clustering didnt really destroy the spirit in my opinion, the 50-75% loss of officers to Classic a few weeks after we finally got a populated RvR area destroyed it, least for me.

why wait for ages with clustering just to fuck us over and start up classic resulting in precluster pop, but now for 2 servers.

I wonder if the realm the GM's mainly play, have anything to do with the realm they always have favoured with these bonuses.

It suits me fine though, Im a hib too now!

My guess is that because Mid has had good times, more so than Hibs, that they have a larger amount of bounty points left for claiming keeps, and that that is taken into account. So you get the other bonuses, but won't get the extra bounty points until your total bounty points drops.

If you're looking at rvr numbers, maybe do /who nf, so you only see those in rvr/battlegrounds.

If I was running as part of 3 fg's and we lost to a single fg Iwould give up and go play something else. 3 fg's of noobs do not have a chance of winning - they will win simple as that.

I got no problem if peeps choose to run in a fg+ manner, that's their choice but lets not start to cover it up by pretending we need to run as a group of 24 just to compete.

A decent extension group will slaughter 3fg of n00bs, isnt really too tough if you got the right setup and RA's are up. Just takes good teamplay.

how come i never see them?

 

[Golena]

Cos they are running next to 6 other soloers.. from an enemy's perspecive they probably look like a group.
