If im right and read your post correctly.

T1 has been changed and those changes will eventually get to T4 and in those changes it allows for 2 zones to be opened at the same time

Mmmmm, I don't like the idea much. Part of the fun of solo play is to get stuck in ''impossible'' situations and finding a way to pull yourself out of it. It's also getting good at picking your spots and your fights.

If a zone was dedicated to it, it somehow just become a permanent duel tournament. Just spec specifically for the 4-5 guys that are there on any given night. If you beat them too often, they'll avoid you; if you lose too often, you'll avoid them, etc.

In open RvR, you need to have a solid good rounded build that can take on multiple sorts of enemies. And you can't avoid much of anything.

My 2 cents.

Listen this guy.
In my opinion the best thing about solo roaming is the thrill to be alone.
This, and the satisfaction of killing one or more player all by yourself.
If you want more 1vs1, start a dual tournament. I'm sure a lot of people will be ok with that.

Opening up two zones and allowing RR to be gained in both might enable killtrading ~
At the moment its highly unlikely that people can get away with it, given how populated the active zones normally are - if you open up another zone the likelihood of killtrades basically increases exponentially, as there is no one to spot it.

Aside from that you'd basically create a whole new subset of community/another game and divide the community, imo.
You'd not only have the pugs, 6man folk and organized wb folk "doing their own thing" (whilst interacting with each other), but roamers aswell (or rather, you'd have them completly secluded if you were to open up an additional zone to cater to them) - I'd say its better to keep everyone under one umbrella; you already have softsplits, you don't want to introduce hardsplits.

Abbd.: In other words, if you were to introduce a second zone for "roaming purposes" only, you'd have to give in to every subset of the community.

E: Words and stuff.

Well.. so we think; the GMs have a method of catching kill trading.

Sure they do, however that method might still require them to be online - as is there is no 24/7 gm coverage, unterstandbly so: Meh.
If they have more sophisticated measures, I guess a simple check (killed x times by y in z min outside SC, or smth yadayada) would suffice, opening up another zone for a month might bait alot of those folk out of the woodwork and have the banhammer swing 24/7 for the week afterwards, lol.

We are extremely efficient at this. That's probably all that needs to be said. 8-)

I would love to see more small scale fights happen. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 etc were always the best fights. Wb scale is just a matter of who has more aoe....

I think it would be a great idea to make Praag into a small scale zone (if it is not the active zone). I dont know how the comm will swim with it, but i'd like so see how it would work.

Yep the population in T1 and the combination of the system makes it viable. WB vs WB often fight one or a few BOs while the roamers avoid it and hit the other BOs. I have to say i love it.

In T3 its often a brainless fight at the tavern, so you can often find a few good fights at the other BOs. Its harder then T1 tho.

Cant wait for the T1 system to hit T3, might need some tweaks, but so far i love it :P
