Any way to check faction balance per server?
(For retail I mean.)
I’m currently looking at
www.wowprogress. com/realms/rank/us/lang.en
But I heard Blizzard removed these sites ability to check realm population a while ago. So I’m wondering if there is one still working with current population and faction balance.
In case there isn’t, does anyone know how old and/or reliable these old tables still are? As in… for example Bleeding Hollow and Thrall used to be majorly Horde, and so should it still be the case?
Number 1 can be quasi-gleaned by googling “wow pop”. There are several sites with server pop breakdowns. Not entirely accurate obviously due to blizz but certainly good enough.
Number 2 is a little trickier. You’re on the right track with wowprogress. You can also lookup raiderio stats etc. This will give you a rough overview on how thing are looking progression wise.
Then there’s scuttlebutt. E.g. For oceanic,.all alliance is basically on Frosmourne. I forget the horde server. For US there’s a lot more servers but they follow a similar pattern of faction dominated servers. There’s very few evenly balanced ones. I think Dalaran is relatively balanced still. Not sure about others.
Also final thing to note is server connections. Blizz has recently linked a whole bunch of low pop servers to try to salvage their respective playerbase. So you may find your chosen server is linked with like 1-3 others.
