population imbalance

Sorry if this has been bought up before, but the population imbalance is beyond toxic right now with most nights having 360 Albs and 180-210 hibs/mids, and of course most of the time the mids and albs take ports in Hib and crap all over the realm, up to and including taking the power relic last night...110 Albs took it and there were barely 30 hibs bothering to defend as they'd been smashed most of the day leading up to it.

I get it, players can choose what realm to play, but clearly Albion is doing something RIGHT when it comes to PVE/leveling/RVR that the other 2 realms are lacking...

I propose adding more decent PVE camps to both Mid and Hib, we really don't have much outside of redcaps and fins respectively that can sustain 2-5 pack pulls over a long duration.

Warden needs to be buffed to include shield and given paladin points like on Live (you buffed pally, so don't give me that 1.65 b/s), having more wardens means more TWF to counter the zillion BD's and Reavers, it's a HUGE disadvantage having hib TWF on a warden since you never want more than 1 per group, buffing the class will help that a lot. Every keep/tower fight there's multiple stacked Alb TWF's going off and hib BG leaders constantly asking for the 3 wardens to drop theirs, lol.

Maybe even consider adding TWF to a 2nd class in Mid and Hib, perhaps replacing Negative Maelstrom on say, Mentalist and Spiritmaster, 2 not particularly heavily played classes in RVR to encourage re-rolling on Mid and hib?

The population shifts naturally over time.

Four months ago Hibernia had dominated the server for five months, holding most or all of the relics for that entire length of time; now they're at the bottom.

It will swing back around.

of course, but at the cost of how many frustrated players leaving the server? That is my concern, atm either everyone bandwagons to the popular realm or quits, neither is a solution and i am 100% against nerfing any classes, that's just a sack blow to anyone playing the classes in question.

Heck, if the TWF changes result in Albs being underpopulated then they can always add it to cabbies as a 2nd class, but for now i'd prefer to see if the changes to mid/hib help.
