I'm just a dirty nube when it comes to the whole PvP thing, so my opinion doesn't carry much weight. But I feel that the ability to monitor server populations on Epic is one of the larger factors that are impeding some good PvP and KvK situations. Spamming /who and using population monitors is not how we should be spending our time. Anyone who's been around awhile will know what the median server population will look like, And spotting an abnormality can easily give away the game. The problem?: PvP turns into a cold war. But instead of nuclear tests and strong arming the most third world countries, people sit on deed and login every shared account and alt trying to inflate the server population to make the other side apprehensive about leaving their own deed until everyone gets bored and eventually logs off. My suggestion: Disable /who command and to keep server population numbers internal to the Wurm Team for the Epic cluster (Maybe on Chaos too if they want it). Why is population monitoring bad for pvp?: It means that all players will hide in their deeds whenever they see a higher than usual server population, stifling any actual pvp from occurring. It means that any raiding group will be spotted moving from one server to another long before any pvp can happen. It means that raiders can see when servers have a low population and are most vulnerable and unable to defend themselves. It compromises any secret actions taken and only benefits the kingdom with the highest population on at that time. How will disallowing public monitoring help?: Players may be less afraid to roam, knowing that other kingdoms are blissfully unaware of any server activity. It will encourage actual scouting. Kingdoms with lower populations will actually be able to make decisive strikes against the larger kingdoms without being run off by a show of numbers. What are the downsides of disabling public monitoring?: New players may log in at a slow time and assume Wurm is a dead game. Numberphiles will have less to fap to.

Simple concept, we just need a way to check what server we're on. I thought either a new command like /where or just flesh out the /who data with a simple "You are on XXX" Expand the concept? Any ideas ? Bump it up lets make it happen!
