That's the idea.

Great, I approve that wholeheartedly. GJ Yali!

in first week, some ppl will do nothing but whine.
i feel like already hearing it.

Stage 1 with everyone in one zone will probably run for 2 weeks, after this we will test 3 pairings open at the same time for another 2 weeks.

one zone won't work for T2-T3 maps, due to crazy lag/zerg fest.
i'd say start with 2 open pairings and maybe 3.

OR

make T2-T3 pairings full open; unless a T4 map becomes active ?

Question, say Elf T2 is locked, then Elf T3 is locked, this allows fighting in DW. After DW locks, do Elf T2 and T3 open and then you have to fight again there before Eataine/Caledor opens, or do you straight to Eataine/Caledor once DW has locked? Does each T4 lock reset the lower tiers, or do you keep fighting in T4?

Or say Ost/TC is locked, Tala/HP is locked, Praag is won by Order; does fight go back to Ost/TC& & Tala/HP or would the frontline move to CW?

And considering the somewhat limited number of player online outside EU evening hours, would it not make sense to keep ONE pairing open say 16 hours a day, but allow EU evening hours to have THREE (Dawi, Elf, Humie) pairings open and contested?

Flight costs for T4 will be reduced by 50% for the duration of the event.

Changes to how many zones are open probably won't happen before the 2 week mark - I need to code them... After 2 weeks 3 zones will be open for test period, most people will also get access to the State of the Realm addon to display all potential keep ninjaning.

There is an idea to scale number of open zones with population but it won't be implemented for now.

@Aurandilaz
Shadowlands in T2 are locked.
Avelorn in T3 is locked.
DW is open in T4 - you lock it - campaign progress as now, you go to the zone near capital of realm that lost. You can play ping pong here if you want. When 1 realm have all 3 zones 2 pairings previously locked will open, pairing that was now locked will stay locked.

Back In T2 we fought with 4 destro warbands and 3 Order warbands around mandreds keep and then the server exploded. And afterwards a lot of server and lag improvements were done to increase stability.

I think the last mega stress test was the High king with everyone simultaneously in Praag and the server exploded. But I don't know how many people that were? 400?

And it is just an coincidence that here was a Bitterstone dwarf event at the same time going on.
On both occasions.

Ban all Bitterstones to fix lag.

One zone worked wonderfully in T3, you just weren't there to witness it.

What, again? Werent we accused already for the famous crash back in t3?
Always are the smaller, fatter and beard wearing ones the scapegoats.
Oh well, open Book of Grudges: new entry #'786543: Hargrim said....

The part no one has fallen over is in the spread sheet from Yali.

I read there something from "Sets Seals".
