Realm Timer
This realm timer is absolutely absurd. Even being on a paid subscription, I should be able to move freely to my other realm characters at least in the mainland. Like at least make it to where you can't go to NF. This is absolutely stupid. I cant even craft on an alt after taking an RVR break.

@DaRedant when you can only play a couple hours a night, 15 min makes a difference.
Thank you. My time is very limited. I can't sit here for 15 hours a day like most people.
If you don’t have much time, how do you have time to play multiple realms?
3 solutions.
Number 1 - Pick 1 realm for the night.
Number 2 - Don’t RvR for the night. Swap realms as you please.
Number 3 - Get a second account. RvR on account 1, then swap to account 2 for 15 mins.

I can play easy.. If I start on lets say hib and action blows or if friends want to play another realm.. I should be able to switch. I have 4 accounts So depending on what I want to play I can possibly do exactly that.
The end game is to RVR. who wants to log in just to PVE. If I wanted to do that I would play WOW
Realm timers are dumb, didn't have any effect on the desired pop (realm swapping zergers) but they really hurt lower number game (smallman, 8) that depending on how the evening evolves would be happy to swap to get more action...
No, if I have limited time, I want to use all of it effectively. I should be able to play my Alb CV char for an hour, and when the action dies down, I should be able to go craft on Mid. I literally cannot fathom how you think this isn't logical, or how a realm timer legitimately affects not being able to log into the mainland on another realm.
Wait 15 minutes, ya cry baby. Or find another game.

You really want to encourage people to not play this game? What a moronic statement to make.
So you wanna go craft on Mid, but you can’t wait 15 mins to craft. Listen buddy I got LGM all, all realms, crafting is not a quick thing. You can’t wait 15 mins, to do something at minimum that will take you 20 mins to an hour? Absurd.
It’s not healthy to constantly stare at the screen. Go get a drink, get some food, stretch, go to the bathroom, and then go craft.

I highly doubt you should be life coaching anyone with your type of mentality.
Now to stay on topic, congratulations on LGM everything on all 3 realms, you should consider taking your own advice on your previous statement. I however, do not have the luxury you seem to have. 15-20mins for me, lost or gained, is a lot. Maybe not to you it isn't, but then again, you don't really know what my life consists of, do you? I don't need to explain my personal life, as my opinion on a realm timer is absolutely stupid, which doesn't seem to be an uncommon opinion around here. All I am asking is for it to be looked at again, or at least have a poll created to adjust it.
Here's a thought. No. Nobody asked about your personal life, yet you just tried to go into it.
It. Is. Fifteen. $#%@ing. Minutes.....
Anyone who complains about this is b*tching just to b*tch... seriously just think about it. How is it TRULY killing you're time on this game? If you really only have 15 minutes you simply shouldn't be playing an MMO that night, right?
I dunno... I feel like Karen has a huge presence in this argument
And to be clear, 15 minutes is enough time that if you realize your zerg is going to attack x keep you probably can't log out, log in, and port to the keep before they at least break port. It's also not so long that if you make a few k and realize all the action is on your realm, that you can't just relog to another realm after grabbing another beer.
I realize thats the intention of the timer. However, like I have previously explained to these people who clearly need to stand up every once awhile, because they're unhealthily staring at a screen for 15 hours a day.. Is that having the timer for RVR is fine, I am not disputing that, but I should be able to log into the mainland of another realm while I wait my 15 minutes of RvR probation.

You were having a discussion, if I post there's no current planned changes to the timer it'd be the end of it without hearing more back and forth thoughts and opinions on it. I'm not trying to kill discussion either. Please continue discussing it.

edit: Using a 50% RP potion is a better incentive to keep players on a particular realm than timers. Food for thought.
This is good. I like this. It would certainly be the best of both worlds if one could log into a PvE zone on another realm immediately after RvRing in another realm. There are so many miscellaneous things that you could do on another realm while waiting for that 15minutes to drop. I have a feeling this is not already in place because it would be hard to code/implement or something technical
Drop the timer and put in a 15 minute duration where you can't earn RPs. It will alleviate the realm swapping for the 8man fights but should prevent people that log over for easy RPs.
Get suggestion that its a win win situation.

No matter what changes they make, there’s always gonna be crybabys that have BIASED complaints.

Many or most people playing this game are in their mids 30s-50s. and have families. while you may be single ( I dont know your RL living situation) but when you have kids and a wife 15 mins is a life time. Some of us just want to jump on for 1-2 hrs and rvr.
The people I run with and the people I know are not logging off to go defend another realms keep. They are looking for group action or drafts.
Then log in your 2nd account and RvR on that one. The timer is only for 1 account. Quit bringing up the SAME points. I have already given MULTIPLE solutions to every complaint.
And before anyone brings up, I don’t wanna pay for a 2nd account. Go to DAOC discord and trade plat for TCs. I have all 3 of my accounts paid for, just from trades, for most of this year already. I have not paid a dime for this game so far this year. And I don’t wanna hear about people not having plat in a game that is almost 20 years old. Get gud.

Once again, not everyone trys as hard as you. Congratulations, you're LGM everything on every realm, and you farm plat to buy time cards.
I don't do that, nor do I have the time for that. I have more money than time, which you clearly have the opposite problem. Not everyone wants to manage multiple accounts. Its not that simple to just tell someone they need to RVR on a second account if they don't like the timer.
@Carol_Broadsword
I personally feel like there should be absolutely no penalty for a paid subscription account to switch between the realms. I pay my $15 a month to support a company and provide me with an account to do as I please, within the CoC requirements of behavior. Implementing a timer for people who pay for their whole account, only to suspend them from activities on said account on a different realm, feels like a slap in the face. Why can I not RVR on my healer, and then immediately switch over to my druid with some RL friends who have decided to go on a dragon raid? Or to give a friend some plat starting out on a new character? Like I said, I understand the reasoning behind the timer, but it's just silly to people who actually pay to support this game.
That requires people to spend time to farm plat in order to trade for TCs...you're missing the point completely. Plus, if everyone already has plat in the game, why the hell would anyone trade plat for TCs? That's some failed logical reasoning right there.
The timer is literally an on/off switch at this point for Broadsword unless they screwed that up too lol.
You feel like a timer is needed as strongly as i feel it doesn't. Your opinion is no better than mine.
Clearly not, because you can't afford a 2nd account.

which in those days was one realm per account----
also peeps say the "shards" have all the population--last i heard you couldnt swap realms---couldnt even play two different realms from the same "house"
Who said I don't have a second account? You're so hung up on trying to insult anyone who disagrees with you, that you're making yourself look extremely desperate. I don't feel the need to go into detail about my finances, but let me just tell you I don't trade plat for time cards, I have real money. Anyways, my other accounts are not my main account. They're bots and storage vaults for me. Yes. I pay for multiple bot & storage accounts.
Go play with your bots for 15 mins. Crybaby.
