Character Count

[Jaden]

You'd think by now you would have trust in the dev team that we won't allow a realm change within seconds, if only for the abuse/spy potential.

Cant we do something like a buffer period of like one week where you are able to be banned even after you return to your original realm?

The problem I have with Tom's suggestion is that it is not good for the realms the players start in.

Is deleting a character any better for the realm? This is still an option... Tom's suggestion removes the "frustration factor" by allowing for a change without undoing the work you put in to get to that point.

Imagine people hopping around like locusts when they are not greeted within a second in a realm or beacuse they don't like a region name or whatever else.

Personally I don't see a big problem if a new player bounces around until they find a realm they like. Eventually they'll either settle in somewhere, or they'll realise the game isn't for them, but at least they'll have tried it out.

I think it is important to take time to get to know your realm and vice versa.

I agree, and that's exactly why players will eventually settle in somewhere. The few "rovers" I've noticed since I started playing weren't newbies. They were veterans who had already achieved significant success in the game and then (presumably) decided to go wandering and shake things up. Which is also ok IMO.

So, someone feel like putting this in as a feature request?

Allow new players (less than 1 month into the game) to move characters back to the realm selection screen. They must stay in the same realm for at least 24 hours, to give the people in the realm time to respond to them.

If its not done by the time I get home, I'll do it.
