Making use of other Rvr zones besides nordland

Hi there, it's my first time posting on here so go easy please :p
Just a suggestion about the rvr zones, I think it would be great to have some sort of rotation on the rvr zones to keep things interesting and not repetive.
Would it be possible to disable rvr zones on a daily basis so that other zones get used instead? this keeps things fresh and fun. If there was a higher population there wouldn't be an issue with zones, but right now with the population quite lowish, it would be great to somehow make use of the different zones
Thanks

They tried this in T1 a month or two ago. When Nordland/Norsca locked, it gave no renown for kills in the zone. However, everyone stayed in the zone. No one left and went to the other zones. They tried it for a few weeks, and the T1 players refused to move zones and just fought with zero renown gain. So, the devs just switched it back because it was pointless.
It was implemented
Oct 28th
Tier 1 will now lock when all battlefield objectives have been held by a realm for 15 minutes.
Players will no longer earn rewards for kills made in a pairing that does not contain an open zone.
Players tend to continue fighting in Nordland even when it's locked. Get out and see the world, Mount Bloodhorn is nice at this time of year.
and reverted
Nov 11th
Kill rewards will no longer be suppressed in Tier 1 if the zone is locked.
People refuse to switch zone so there's no point keeping this.

I feel there is a rather simple solution
when the nordland zone is locked then for a timed duration
make high level, extreamly aggressive high level npcs fill the lake, to ensure that their is no possible way for anyone to fight
this will force people to either afk in WC, pve or move to other zones to pvp

Players don't fight in nordland to get xp and rr , that's player from live trial that only played nordland t1 . If you don't force them to move to another area they will non stop fighting in nordland for fun . Removing rewards was not the point , I still thinking that removing rvr status when zone is locked and let the zone locked til player lock another one . To me it's the only solution since those player only play t1 Til get lvl 15 and roll a new character again and again

Well you could try disabling ability to fight at all in Nordland after a lock.
It would be interesting to see whether players will actually go to elf/dwarf then or go scenarios, pve, log off/afk or stay in Norldland and /duel.

Yes we could try this , seeing what players prefer. Dwarfs/elf zone are so great I feel bad they don't receive more attention from players . I remember great fight there at release
