I'm sure the point of putting the npc in the CK was intended to get more people into the bgs, but it's honestly having the opposite effect. Obviously bgs aren't popular here for any sort of rvr, with the exception of thid and that ones action is spotty at best, so why not move the npc to the respective portal keeps? It would make xping in there more of a viable option. I only port there, check if the realm I am on owns it and if we don't immediately leave. Spamming for hours to get a group to take the ck is definitely not worth the time. Cathal Valley can be soloed by an inf/sb/ns since they can climb in, but all of the others essentially are pointless to 2/3 of the game's population.

Sounds good to me. Could probably generate some more action too cause people know enemies farming there.

That's a good point to, it will have the actual intended effect that putting the npc into the ck was supposed to have.

Hi!
I'm sure I'm in the super minority, but I enjoy sieging and capturing the BG keeps. I agree that most people prolly only go to the BGs (Thid excepted) to farm some easy xp items and maybe get a few RPs and RR levels to see them through the early levels. Since there is so little actual RvR going on in the BGs, the only functions that they currently serve are a safe and easy frontier XP bonus, and a few different XP item sets, though the XP items are only useful if your realm holds the CK. Especially if you are solo, capturing the CK is a 40m+ endeavor, which some might see as not being worth the effort. OTOH, if the CK is claimed, it takes well over an hour to capture (which is why I wish it was not possible to claim CKs in the BGs since it really discourages turn-over).
The other side of the coin is that if the XP NPCs are moved to the PKs, then the CKs will prolly never change hands, since there will be almost zero motivation to do so. I would like there to continue to be some incentive to siege and capture the CK, but I understand why some people completely eschew the BGs as they are leveling up for the easy XP in the frontiers, DF, and camps in overland areas that have sizeable mob bonuses.
If they do move the NPCs, then hopefully they could add something to compensate (more rewards, RPs, feathers, etc.) the keep siegers and encourage people to capture and defend the CKs as well. The BGs are the last vestige Phoenix has of the old frontiers; please don't take it away from those who still find enjoyment there (few as we may be).

OP has a good idea.
To the above poster; every time I go to thid it’s either dead or one sidedly zergy.
With the population lowering, it may be prudent to not waste time on thid other than npc movements.
