I don't really see how faction imbalance is bad on normal servers. Would be worse on PvP servers for sure
Mankrik was destined to have a horde population, hopefully the meme will keep there and not be used so frequently on the other servers, lol.
What impact does imbalance have on Normal servers? Alliance will have longer queues than Horde right?
When this sort of imbalance occurs on PVP servers, it becomes a shit show, players like me have been forced to transfer away from it.
Isn't faction imbalance super irrelevant? All the characters are name-holders, so people could easily have just created the name on whichever race/class that came up first.
The data source isn't working at the moment.
As others have said, it's really difficult to judge server balance at the moment. Right now, all people have are name placements.
Additionally, isn't this an inherent problem with a 2-faction system? You can look at https://realmpop.com/eu.html (EU version) for each of the servers, and the vast majority are not balanced, either one way or the other.
Could use sources for the source :biggrin:
Thanks for starting this thread anyway, this is a topic I've been thinking about. We need better indicators.
Current numbers on the Stalagg discord:
Fixed the link. Might not be relevant yet, but it is interesting.
On the EU there's a slight Horde imbalance between 52-55% on the census. It might be a cultural thing, who knows. Anything under 5% is normal and anything under 10% sounds alright still. Quality beats quantity any day.
Oh yes finally some info on faction population! Thanks for this. :smile:
The Stalagg Discord is now developing a slight horde bias (52/48), although I bet the casual crowd will pick the pretty races and even this up a bit.
Neat. Would be interesting to see the European faction rates.
This is why i love RP-PVP :)

Yeah eu rp-pvp server looking good. But we need updated statistics.
still better faction balance then retail has.
