The underpopulation Bonus from a Mid POV

Hello all,

i play Midgard and ofc i noticed this 50% xp/rp/bp bonus. It was huge. But tbh it was to much and only for 7 days, i doubt it will change the Population in Midgard over a long view.

50% rp bonus was to much in my eyes.. getting 609 rps for a kill when the guy turned green after dead, was just ridicoulus.

I dont know how the Team will handle this now, waiting untill the next Realm got 24/7 30 days the lowest amount of player or not.

but i would suggest to change this underpopulation Bonus a bit.. 50% xp is okay, ppl may come to Midgard because they can lv up faster.. give 10% rp/bp in the first week from underpopulation and higher this amount to 15% after the next 7 days IF the realm is still 24/7 the lowest.. if not stay on 10% .. go up 5% per week (untill a max of 50% ) is what i mean. You do something similar with relic bonus too or not?

sry my english is not the best, nature language is not english, but i hope you understand.

to reach a goal from a balanced Server Population a fix Bonus for 7 days will not change anything in my eyes.. but a increase over time or a standing bonus will maybe.
Maybe not.. i am just talking from my personal view, and what my Guild was talking about this topic in the last days too

Why do i think so?
Simple.. with only 4 hours timer to change the realm, and a 50% rp/bp Bonus ppl who are playing all realms anyway will switch immediately to this realm after 4 hours
Like the 8vs8 on Live earlier years used to log another realm, when already 4 mid grps was running.
If the benefit starts lower, and only gets more, when this not happen it will maybe not end up in just: bonushopping (like relic hopping)

but i dont know, thats just a personal feeling

The weeks before this Bonus for Midgard was /u always Hibs > Albs > Mids..

The last 2-3 days when i did /u i saw Midgard got a handfull more ppl online then Albs or Hibs, i am really curious to see how it will be in the next 2-3 days now, where the Bonus for Midgard is ended.


just my 5 cents

I don´t think this RP bonus will work. People do take the extra RPs but they still prefer to make RPs on classes they like to play (i.e. not sub-par casters and not - in keep fights at least - sub-par Hunters). So you might see more Mids (and RP-farming 8mans) but for obvious reasons the 6 relics continue to stay in Hib keeps. It might even turn out a slightly lower number of Hibs can still hold these (due to the sheer amount of PBAE, shrooms, AoE RAs, stun & gun and Rangers) thus making more RPs per capita. This RP bonus doesn´t address the balance between realms and will just end in bonus hopping.

I play hib and love the mid bonus.
Mids are constantly in our realm, taking towers and keeps and we take them back.
Today we lost the Albion strength relic after 5-6 days of constant pressure from mid and alb.
Not only that I make a lot of rps on you guys, also our successful defense for so many days created a „we“ feeling and raised motivation and realm pride.
At the end this bonus will bring the hibs closer together and make them stronger in the future.


Flup, hib

I love this attitude.

It’s been a really fun couple days for me, wiping time and time again on Scath. We got pretty close today, and probably would’ve had it but we reset the lord in the middle of a hib inc and eventually lost the standoff in the lord room.

From my point of view, Mid realm pride feels sky high as well, given the normal state of things around here.

Can’t wait to see how the next few weeks go.
