solution for server-hopping !

[Tmar09 19]

The private hives are for people that want to have a character that persists only on that server.  They want to play on a passworded server away from everyone else.

 

I also don't agree that server-hopping is a problem.  What exactly is your problem with it?

 

Especially now that a timer for logging back in is required?

Exactly what i meant on the private servers; they are permalocked with that toon on that server.  My problem with server hopping is loot whores that take gear and leave, that extends to bandits and heroes gearing up for the PVP and going elsewhere as well. The 5 min timer is easily circumvented and even used by server hoppers to find unsearched rooms, there was even a post on how the hopper would use those 5 minutes to see if doors were closed on the server he hopped to, if open he moved to another server til he found one with door closed at his spawn point.
