- Side lock
1. Implement a system to stop people from changing from order to destro and the other way around, the current system isnt enough to stop cross realming, the best would even be locking Mac adresses to 1 account and 1 side an make it bannable if they bypass, but i do think i might be a bit late for that now. But maybe it might help.
2. Maybe make it even so that is one side has to many people online, you lock it so they must player the other side to balance the numbers out, giving people more fair fights and fun seeing the numbers will then even out. This would also stop the inbalance of cross realming seeing your cant have a 150 vs 50 people fights anymore)
I think it's reasonable to lock people out of one side depending on what the populations are. There's currently a system that locks you out for one hour if you've done PvP on one side recently - I see the proposition as an extension of the existing system.
I'd propose a system of stepped caps, so that there can be a little disparity but not a lot.
It could alternatively be a system of disparity measurement where the higher side locks until the the lower side gets another player.
You can bet your bottom that nearly everybody has characters on both sides, so if you're locked out of one side, flipping over shouldn't be a big deal. There may be an issue with the quality of the low pop side being very poor, due to gear. I mean, who has time to deck out their alts?
Another problem with these lockouts comes when you want to do pre-arranged stuff with your buddies, but who does that these days eh? That's SO 2004.
