1 week lockout timer on xrealm

[nocturnalguest]

First of all, this is a free to play game which allows users to have several accounts. So there might be a procentage of the playerbase out there who have one destro account & one order account. I havnt met these people myself, but it could be a thing. So a lockout would not affect these players.

Its not account-based last i checked. However lockout is so easily bypassed that its existence is very questionable. Afaik wargrimnir did also claim previously that there is ToS prohibiting it but no mechanics to prevent/monitor bypassing, so its upon players to willingly not do that and thats it.

1 week is ridiculously over the top.
If something was to be done, which I really don't think is necessary, then it can't just be a blanket lock out as that just punishes people who actually swap for the right reasons (trying to balance the numbers)
Make it so you can swap to the lower population side with no lock out at all, but swapping to the higher population side hits you with some sort of lockout, although nothing as extreme as a week.

My Opinion...ROR is a nice game with a toxic community. Devs give the people what they want and so always one side dominate the other...ever join the winning team. X-realming shows the problem. Only a view people change the side to the underdog and if there are too much people, everyone change the side and the balace shift. Duallogging ftw.
I see no possible solution for the problems, only the thing you hear from other players...you can go if you want. You don't pay money for the game. Be happy or bye bye.
