No one cares about the "realm". DAoC won't ever recapture that type of stuff. Just make battlegrounds and be done with it. Hell - many 8 man groups already communicate in Discord for their little skirmishes. "Meet me at X". Just be done with the foolishness and put in instance battlegrounds.

Instanced, no.
There is an arena that covers several of your scenarios. No need to add a redundant dynamic.

RP's should be rewarded in the arena.
Just get rid of the open world frontiers. No one cares about keeps or relics. Most prefer relics not even exist.
Instances allow for an "end" to occur.
Game would be much more fun this way. Player base will rise and be maintained. The 8 man crew has their playground. The small man crew has their playground. The solo crew has their playground.
Current combat is:
Midgard:
Zone in Emain - run to AMG - kill until your killed.
Albion:
Zone in Emain - run to AMG - kill until your killed.
Hib:
Run to AMG - kill until your killed.
All it creates is a see-saw battle back and forth between the APK and MPK. Boring as fuck and predictable.

Meanwhile, the area causes a loss condition for stealthing at the wrong time, so I've never bothered. But I'm keen on it being there for visibels to e-peen, and keep everyone happy.
