So what kept you from actually switching sides?
Did I miss the part where you had already switched in the last 12 hours?
Make it three or four hours. Who really needs to switch sides every hour?
wrongway
I had switched from rook to bish when I 1st logged in,there was rook "green hordy" so I went bish.
Other than bj I've still yet to see anyone post why it is the way it is, what bennefit? What detriment does switching at will or after 1 hour pose to the community?
It's still very vague to me!
If it's spying then there are measures that can be put in place to mitigate it! What can't be mitigated ingame could never be solved in the 1st place, so might as well not worry about it.
Is it CV exploitation? Again there are measures that would help mitigate this also!
Is it game balance?

From what I see the imbalance has nothing to do with how many folks are on each country, the imbalance occurs whether a country has #s or not.
BTW those who agree with the 12 hour time and care not to change country, don't have to !

Those who prefer to switch when things get dull can only do it once in a gaming session, hence our choice is limited for us
