Alliance server pop broke sod

Servers are still locked for horde character creation. So no.

Horde was regularly getting outnumbered until all the FoTM rerollers decided to play Shaman in late P2/early P3.

Wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest when the Horde population comes crashing down hard because those FoTM players get tired of their new toy and go back to whatever they were playing before.

first off dont gotta be rude and you can check my parse on wow logs for your self on all my toons ill list em if you want. but asides that it was something that was brought to my attention last night and when i checked the site for pop it was messed up and clearly obvious what faction had more people on it. but since then, I have discussed the matter further in disc and we think that the wow tavern one was just wrong and the one on ironfroge that shows actually raiders seems to be more accurate. but that still only shows those that raid doesn’t mean the pop can’t be messed up still and blizzard isnt saying anything but who knows.

I have no idea how they are coming up with those numbers but they are definitely not accurate. Lone Wolf, for instance, is horde heavy. You can tell that by trying to create a horde character on it and back it up with warcraft logs numbers.

Hello, just a quick note that I play Horde on the ONLY pve server available in SoD. While compared to classic 2019 launch where there was one server heavily Horde, and another heavily Alliance, we sadly don’t have that option on the PVE side of things given one server.

While it is nice to see the world alive compared to when you’d rarely see the other faction in their zones, Alliance outnumbers Horde like 3:1, if not more, making it hard to win any Ashenvale event we don’t pile up on, and even the Nightmare bosses that only give faction credit if you get the tag, it can be a challenge since Horde are spread out among the layers making it even harder. YES, Horde can still get the tag, but if you don’t have enough people around to help you kill the boss, Alliance just walks away to let you die and then grab the boss.

I just hope Blizzard is paying attention to the ONE pve server when they’re doing new content in SoD and taking into account the one server where the balance meta is NOT in place…

BTW, If you want to play Horde and need a new home, please join us on Wild Growth, great people there, just could use some more people lol. This server obviously isn’t going anywhere since we’re the only pve option. (Compared to Season of Mastery that had two PVE servers and got merged 2-3 months in).

Same here, but horde. I dont think its a server imbalance. I think its a layer imbalance.
If layers were better balanced for horde and alliance i think it might change. As for right now, i think it’s best to be horde on layer 1 and 2, and alliance on 4+

balancing the layers would be nice way to fix some issues that feel unbalanced.
