People can still use a 2nd account if they are truly determined to CR so i dont see how this is anything but a bandaid.

i think its great idea. even 2 accounts share same ip adress. no more this **** in rvr bring ram to keep take keep and than log cross faction to easy peasy defense and lagfeast.
p.s also i liked old fort system just increase cap by 1 wb on every side . 250 ppl in same location is not big problem byt when there is 600-700 its reaaly unplayable. and whant to mention that wis old fort system u need fight in rvr to get into fort. just add portals in wc (and xrealming if such was , was maden before fort and they didnt know if faction will lock it or xrealm or go do some pve)

Its just a display bug. if you restart client a few times it should show the correct time. My Choppa however was deleted for no reason. Don't know if anyone else's toons are disappearing but beware.
Try to contact a GM. They should be able to restore it.

I still think a portal to a fort should be reinstated.

It seems a bit buggy. Everytime i restart the client i get a different timer. Had 77mins, 3mins, 3 hours. Restart it enough and sometimes it is just removed

Just logged in to test the new lockout-system. I ckecked my mail and AH on several chars and could freely switch between des and order multiple times.
After a while I got the 3h lockout and was limited to order. Restarting the game (not chrashing, just clicking quit) seems to mess with the timer as it showed a different value each time.
3h->2h->7h->48min-> no timer and I could log into my des-chars again.

You do so , as if the whole game is RvR only .
There are many more things the game has to optain .
PvE with epic-quest for example . SC wher also XRealming is NO problem . Farmin PQ for Armor .... thats only a few thins wich can be done without having disadvantage to RvR players .
But olso if you are going to make PQ you sometimes have to cross RvR zones ( ex on Chaos-side : thundermountain going to PQ / ex Order-side: to optain Jewel Item: Wordbreaker Band ) .
So for about 150 people who play RvR ( I know there where huge more while RR-Boost week , but normaly about 150 to 200 player are doing RvR , and a bit more DONT play RvR at this time !!!! ) . but they dont can play their stile , cause RvR-Play has a problem . SC-XRealmer would never be a problem at all , cause the time for a SC is to shourt for that .
So make this timer ONLY work on players who WANT PLAY RvR ! Thats fair an welcome !
Easily make a Popup for player wich enter RvR zone, if they want to play RvR .
When they say " YES " they can kill enemys and can get killed from enemys . / When they say " NO " they are not able to kill enemys ore get killed by enemys .
" Yes " also triggers the timer for 90 min / " No " dont triggers the timer .
Very easy and not a disadvantage for a hughe number of players .

This would surely create some problems, e.g. you could easily have invincible scouts tracking enemy movement, blocking ram-spots and so on.
I would recommend to tie it to the RvR-flagging. You have usualy a few seconds before you get flagged after entering an rvr-area. Maybe pop a notification telling about the lockout to help new players.
Having to cross RvR to reach PvE is a rare exception imo and you will spend some time doing PvE anyway, so a rather short timer shouldn't hurt that much.
