Fairbanks (H) - 29.7k alliance - 42.7k horde (60.6% horde - Very High Pop)
Herod (H) - 24.8k alliance - 39.4k horde (61.3% horde - High Pop)
Kirtonos (H) - 25.8k alliance - 45.8k horde (63.9% horde - Very High Pop)
Kurinaxx (H) - 16.5k alliance - 25.1k horde (60.3% horde - Med/High Pop)
Skeram (H) 22.2k alliance - 35.5k horde (61.5% horde - High Pop)
Thalnos (H) - 29.6k alliance - 52.5k horde (63.9% horde - Very High Pop)
Earthfury (H) - 3.4k alliance - 4.9k horde (67% horde - Low Pop)

Total Population - 635.0k alliance vs 761.4k horde (54.5% Horde Majority)

A few things to consider

  • 2:1 population disparity isn’t really present unless you count the Low Pop Earthfury (H) server.
  • Many servers do have a Super Majority disparity which is VERY bad for server health. The problem is amplified to the moon if the server is heavily populated.
  • Alliance has a majority on PvE servers and a massive disparity on RP-PvE servers. But a faction disparity doesn’t affect these servers because factions don’t aggressively interact on these servers.
  • If I missed any servers let me know.

I would love to see stats on the OCeanic servers. There’s only four servers and we’re usually included on realmpop as US

Would be interesting if they worked the queue system to encourage balance.

For example, if 1000 Alliance and 900 Horde were online, the next 100 Horde players would have queue priority over Alliance characters.

Then pair up high to low transfers between servers with the opposite imbalance.

Thoughts?

Kinda like Wintergrasp but with server populations…I could see that for High Pop servers that have a queue…so if there’s a 50k server capacity allow 25k of each faction max, rest go to a queue.

All I know is that when cross realm battlegrounds are a thing, they really should group all the PvP realms together and all the PvE realms together. No mixing PvP and PvE for cross realm.

Alliance PvE realmers that want to BGs are gonna have to wait for a game and Horde PvP realmers that wanted a free ride to 60 are gonna have to wait for a battleground.

Yikes at the Arcanite Reaper total population lol, not even 6k on the entire server?

6

Its a very new server. Netherwind was kinda new, now its over 30k on the server.

7

So they need to keep at least Horde xfers off Whitemane a bit longer than the general transfers off Whitemane to help ensure that it’s mostly horde players further reducing our population towards real faction balance.

Nah, Alliance are taking the free transfers to the overflow servers because they keep getting picked off in pvp. May their free transfer toons suffer in low pop hell. lol

For instance, I was on the STV-Ratchet boat a few times and horde priests were mc’ing single alliance players off the boat. It was equal horde and alliance players on the boat yet alliance players just stood there and didn’t engage. Sad really. So alliance players fleeing Whitemane for free transfers wouldn’t surprise me.

EDIT: Nvm, just noticed it was limited to PvP

Faerlina has so far been the most balanced high pop server since the name reserve.

11

Really hope that’s the plan… Knowing that I’m going to have instant BG queues is the silver lining in this leveling experience!

IDK OP

This seems 100% made up.

13

I do not see Pagle in the list

14

I transferred from Incendeus to Heartseeker because I can get into the server so rarely that my toons have not had the chance to level to a point where they could be picked offf in PVP. Sorry to dissapoint you, there’s no low pop hell. It’s only the second day of server transfers and we’re already medium at peak time. For anybody who’s contemplating going there shouldn’t worry about the population.
