Correct however a simple fix if they realize the forum skins arent loading in mobile hence the issue.

The quote thing and a likes feature are on the list of changes in the works for the forums, item search/temp maker are priority for now, though.

oh yeah and of course some other solution than simply putting a lock on content you pay for just because you log onto another realm.
There are so many plans in the works that I don't know how everything will work out in the end.
But I do want Realm Timers because without something to separate the Realms, the game itself has no point whatsoever. I mean, think of a match between the SA Springboks and the NZ AB then suddenly some of the players switch sides. Who are they playing for? Who do you root for? Why do you bother watching? And how would you feel, as a Springboks player who is also a fan?
Seems to have evened out
Will having multiple accounts allow the user to circumvent the realm timers? @Carol_Broadsword

Yes, luckily it will circumvent it. easy fix for a faulty system locking you out of parts of the game you pay fully for monthly.
We're not all 15 year old kids without jobs...
30 mins is a fair amount of time to wait...

You see a 50/50 split on a forum. It is a small sample size. It's the same as interviewing a small town of what they think of their country and basing it off of that. We don't have Broadswords numbers from their official poll.
have you seen the poll results from Broadsword? For all I know the majority is unfavorable to the realm timers, but they don't give a damn and still go ahead with the change forcing it down our throats to please the obvious minority. I asked for the results in discord so we can have the confirmation that they aren't lieing to us, they won't show them.
It's just ironic how in every letter @John_Broadsword writes he talks about transparency, but when he does a poll on realm timers there isn't a way for them to actually show the results.
It's a relatively sample size, but based on current pop 60 votes is roughly 30% of the whole player base.
You will not gain an extra sub from implementing realm timers, aside from Solic who will rage quit 2 weeks after he resubs.
They also think if they shout loud enough, they will win the "DAoC Popularity Contest" and get invites to groups who realm hop to maximum advantage. They probably only surround themselves with people they universally agree with on game philosophy, so cannot even grasp why this is a necessary change.
I would say in game it's about 75%/25% in favour of some form of realm timer, which differing opinions on duration of course. I would probably also guess less than 1% of the player base comes to these forums or actually reads the discord.
I personally side with any change which benefits the bulk of subscription holders, as they're the ones keeping the servers going financially - not the dudes with the superiority complex who play the game (and realm hop) to "teach bads a lesson" or with the "Don't they know who I AM?" mindsets. Let the sociopaths get bored by this change and go polish skulls or taxidermy or flex in mirrors , or whatever the hell they do with their spare time.
lol, wut ? you think the complete player base is like 200 people when at times there are more than 100 people online in one realm that has a population bonus ? you think that at any given time there is actually more than 20 % of all people with an active subscription online at the same time ? i would be very surprised if the actual number of active players (and i say players, not subs) is below 2000.
Was that a real argument? Starting off with comparing people against realm timers to slave owners? Really?
How is your view on the matter more relevant than mine? You probably hang out with the same kind of people, so normally your views will be similar. If I did the same, I'd say 100% of the people I play with are against realm timers, my % is higher than yours so I win, right?
It's not about being elitist or anything, it is about having the freedom to do what I want in a game I pay a subscription to. A good example, last night US primer Hibs had a bonus. We run around the island and guess what, there were only hib groups out. So we swapped at the end of the evening to balance things out and fight some hibs (there were no mids or albs out, they were all at Glen).
How is swapping realm an advantage to a select few, when everybody has the possibility of playing various realms in the same evening? How does one group benefit from realm swapping, aside from generating more action to everybody playing?
How is having one group swap to the underpopulated realm to fight a zerg a disadvantage to anyone? Zerg actually fights something (instead of PvEing keep doors and gets to complete their quests), everybody gets to have fun fighting in RvR. The zerg usually wins by the way, so not sure what they lose in that deal.
The thing that irritates me the most in this debate is that the players against the change have generally offered solutions and alternatives, while the "pros" resort to insults and just don't provide anything other than the "I'm the screaming majority" argument.
By the way, the only sociopaths in this game are the stealth zergers aka @Keltorius
You know that moment when sarcasm flies right over your head.
TL;DR it looks like they are taking the data from various sources.

The grab bag link was a follow up reminder link from the poll which was first announced in our June newsletter (which has thousands of subscribers) (here) and has been posted to social media, forums, discord, brought up ingame in region chat and bg's (by us), and so forth.
The grab bag link was not the only link or announcement of the poll.

What were the results? I didn't see them posted.
Too bad thousands don't actually play
Timers is Bad, mkay

If they implement 12 hour realm timers, maybe thousands will play, because realm hopping nihilists take away the community feel of DAoC.
12 Hour Realm Timers now.
For the Realm!
sounds like you need to /rpoff.
