PK timer should be based on frontiers realm pop

Right now, Alb is outnumbered by Hib 3:1 and Hib has the same pop as Alb and Mid combined.

The severely underpop realm should not have a timer, IMO

I said frontiers pop, not total pop. 50s, of course.

For hours Hib had 150-230 while Alb had 80 and Mid had 120~

The 3 min PK timer is horrible. We're a small man and couple times have been split on release time. If one dies very late, that's ANOTHER 3 min to wait. Please remove the timer as it's such a time sink now. No one is liking it from their comments and taking the fun out of it. =x

Hello Phoenix staff! Please consider:
1. If this is about relic attack/defense consider making it so that this 3m timer only applies if you die within a certain range of a relic keep or a keep that holds a relic. You could base it on whether the keep was under attack but sometimes that happens randomly so idk how accurate that would be.

2. If this isn't about relic keeps at all then this is about... zerging? Maybe that means there should be multiple RvR tasks going on at once to spread out the population.

As it stands this doesn't seem to hurt groups directly because they always take a few minutes to buff up, but it does indirectly hurt them by putting less people out there for them to fight. It mostly hurts small mans and solo classes that are going to have to wait to RvR and wait for their opponents to wait to RvR.

Please reconsider this change depending on what problem you are trying to fix! Thank you!

There should be no timer at all. Low pop is hit hardest sure, doesn't mean it doesn't anoy other realms. Just less.

This is the first custom change I don't like, and the first thing for which I post here.
I often go smallman, we die quite a lot. Please remove it, it's horrible.
Get ganked right outside pk? 3 minutes.
Really.
