Town Balancing

Can we make populations more balanced by having only a certain amount joining each town then closing it after that amount is reached etc. Otherwise you're going to have 300 in one town 100 in another and like 50 in the last. For those against this give your rational reasons why.

If your talking about when making chars... thats basicly restricting the game so no i disagree but if ur on about nation migration then i agree because a certain nation is over populated but then that means the person has to want to change nation so this probably wont work

People will want to play with their friends/family.
There's already nation transfer item in Mall. Nations almost always balance themselves out later on.

So if the quota is 500 chars in each nation, I can just go make 500 level 1's in yllse and 500 level 1's in zypern so that all new PLAYERS will join vys?
Free nation transfer to the weakest nation sounds better to me.

Later when amount of active players gets unbalanced over nations... Instead of penality i suggest some kind of a gift and advertisment on the main site (like : Join now vyseus/yllse/zypern and get your xxx gift!)... dont know extactly what but it doesnt need to be needed for leveling (like exp pill,rares etc) but for fun like for example summon potions are .. imo can be some kind of "random gift" - from some kind of a list of items , you get a random item...give some ideas about what it should be ;p

Then they'd have to be untradeable or people would abuse it.
Yes i agree ...

That targets new players. How many new players have we had in the DR community over the years? Not enough to tip the balance of nations, I can tell you that. So if it's for an old player... would you give up your D1/D2 to start over in another nation? Since the gift isn't tradable you can only obtain it by making a new char.
