Trial run RvR week with no boats? and possibly no port to other realm keeps?

Got me thinking how to improve the current situation with certain realms avoiding BG rvr. How about we have one week where EV becomes the main hub to other realms? like the return of OF emain. More gate fights and open field rvr.

now for the maybe part... One down side to this would be port keeps in other realms (only for the attacking side) must be also shut this would make keep and relic raid's a lot harder for the attacking realm.

we could keep maze ports open for stealthers and small man groups.

Edit, now before you say: "your only saying this because you have 6 relics" we reset them for 1 week for the trial run.

It would be a nice idea but for the zergfest of 150hibs in BG farming RPs (or making not a single one RP because they will be the only ones roaming there after a day).

Interesting idea but it won't work because EV is laggy as hell, even without 300 people in it. Creating such choke point will just end in massive LD's.

Faster RvR access is better than slower access for everyone's game experience

If you played on Uthgard you know what i am talking about :p - If anything models to give the disadvantaged grpsizes even faster access to action are the way to go.

Cant fault it if people dont want to bg rvr.

Changing the rvr mechanics to force someone into a play style they clearly dont want is not going to help the server

Don't just bash people throwing ideas out there. Even if the idea itself may not be "good" or "thought out" it could still lead to something ... or maybe not, who knows.

Forcing everyone through EV will just end up in Gate Camping, which is kinda like OF, but will completely shut off (more or less) any other form of Play (solo/duo/small/8man).
A Dominating Force (can/)will shut off enemy Entry (maybe even port to make the way even longer), and can easily return to anywhere EV, if they need to, as everyone has to cross it. Which begs the question: Why go (or return) there if you are not the Dominating Force?

A exact opposite Idea would be to have 1 Port Keep permanent for each Realm in each enemy Realm (f.e. Hib have Beno and Nott, Mid have DC and Blend, Alb have Bled and Crimm), but that is prolly just the "young me" asking for an OF substitute.

imho, The Game/Server will balance itself or tip to another side eventually. Hollow dominance is also "no-fun" as being on the other end, it just takes them longer to realize that.
It is not a coincidence people leave the server even though being part of the dominating force (look Midgard/Albion).
