Hello there!

The suggestion is simple, add an alternative Realm mechanic much like the already existing Elvia Realm that is only active during Node War/Siege times and make it so once you "Yes Up" you get the permission to join that realm. Anyone who is not "Yes'd Up" for a Siege/Node War should NOT have permission to join that realm. After joining the realm, it teleports you to your castle/base (similar to how getting a queue for Guild League or AoS TPs you to the area as you join the instance). I've seen a lot of content creator videos and clips of people getting frequent crashes or VERY bad lag during large scale PvP and I think this could help with that.

Here are the recommended features me and a few of my fellow players have spitballed for being within this Realm feature:

- Make it so in the Node War/Siege Realm(s) there are NO Safe Zones (Or MUCH smaller zones so that they cannot be abused like they are now).

- No NPCs inside of the towns save for maybe the blacksmith and stablemaster (or maybe add a unique Node War merchant that offers both features). But still adhere to there being NO (or smaller) Safe Zone within the town.

- Potentially add different "phases" of those servers depending on which Node War/Siege you're a part of (Maybe just separate Node War and Siege Realms), just to further bolster the performance for the larger scale ones.

Overall the goal is to find a way to help bolster the performance of EVERYONE in Siege/Node War settings.

There's no reason why a game with so much large scale content should be perceived as unplayable with people who meet or exceed the system requirements of the game (some by a massive margin).
