Blizzard, please add faction balance gate from SOD to new classic PVP realm

That actually made the game fun when the two sides were close to equal in SOD and hopefully the servers dont get lopsided again.

I think the main post said they are.

OP didn’t read the announcement.

I look forward to the screaming about how people “aren’t allowed to play with their friends” because their chosen faction on the lone pvp server is locked

It worked “WELL” in SOD: Bots were being created in mass in Horde so alliance could continue creating their characters, making PvP open world very well balanced like 10:1 so Aggrend would joke about it on Twitter “your faction needs to show up” lmao.

i like that, but with only one large realm im not so sure.
What if it stays locked for the faction of your choice and then your only choice is to play on the faction you dont like or not play at all? At least with more realms you could just pick a realm with your faction open…

That appears to already be the intent.

@Kaivax

n Season of Discovery, we implemented enforced faction balance on all PvP realms. This means that the population of Horde and Alliance characters on each PvP realm remains almost perfectly balanced. If the faction balance ever starts to lean too far in one direction or the other, character creation for the more populous side is temporarily paused until balance is restored.

The results have been overwhelmingly successful, and feedback on this system has been positive. Therefore, we will enforce faction balance on new Anniversary PvP realms.

You are correct, I just saw the no changes line.
