Low population punishment

#0 - March 26, 2008, 11:31 p.m.

Beyond all the various ways low population realms get less for $15 bucks a month this new event really takes the cake.

If my realm has 10% of the population of Mal'ganis, which is just a guess because Blizzard will not let anyone know official realm populations, it is going to take us 10 times as long to unlock phases of the sunwell event.

My question is, why could the event not be pro-rated at a servers participation % instead of just shear numbers?

I imagine this issue has been brought up already but i have a hard time finding threads in here.

Each phase includes an "auto complete" time, in which case the next phase will automatically begin if your realm is falling behind. It's around double the amount of time for it to auto complete as compared to what we estimate an average realm will finish each phase in.
