That’s one server that was warned in the begining to go somewhere else… what is being proposed affects all servers and will have a bigger impact overall.
Population and balance have nothing to do with each other.
Dear God. Are all the Horde this stupid?
Apparently you are… if balance is as bad as everyone claims with horde bias then horde would be unable to EVER log in because there just isn’t enough alliance… unless the issue isn’t as bad as everyone claims, in which case get over it there is no issue.
And yes, lets just generalize groups as a whole because that’s always made sense and been accurate.
Can’t tell if stupid or just dumb
Go play BFA.
#nochanges except…
Welcome to the world of critical thinking! Contrary to popular belief, it’s ok to promote positive change that will still keep the core spirit of classic intact. There are many such things and this is one of them. I like classic as much as the next guy, but gameplay comes first. From what I’ve seen of these PvP servers, gameplay is absolutely suffering due to faction balance problems.
This issue definitely needs addressing; however, what that solution should be is definitely a challenging issue. Server community consistency is absolutely essential to the classic experience, so the retail solution of cross server zones just isn’t appropriate. Server transfers are also not going to work, as they tend to have the opposite effect as the underpopulated faction tends to transfer off the hell hole they are currently stuck on.
As a suggestion, what if they took a server with 80% or above Horde population and straight up merged it with a server that has 80% or above Alliance population? They might have to beef up the hardware a little or implement a more clever layering system, but that might help.
Out of curiosity, do we know what the overall Classic faction balance is? Like, across all servers?
*Edit: I just googled…
For PvP it’s slightly skewed towards Horde, but still fairly close. Amusingly, the overall population across all server types landed at 50/50 
(per this data set)
You don’t seem to even understand the concept that we’re talking about here.
Let me explain it for the 15th time so you can keep up for a post or two.
Nobody with a half a brain cell, nobody is proposing a 1:1 Horde:Alliance queue system.
We’re simply asking, that if there are 1000 Horde online already, and 100 Alliance online, that the remaining Alliance in queue be moved to the front, so that when an Alliance or Horde log out, the bias goes towards an Alliance filling that spot.
It’s never, literally never, going to be 1:1 as a result of such a system. That can only happen naturally before server capacities are reached. We’re asking for a system which allows the extremely underrepresented faction to at least be able to play at full strength, DESPITE a huge imbalance.
Holy smokes.
Ok boomer.
I understand just fine snowflake, horde dominates your server and you can’t stop crying about it so blizz MUST DO SOMETHING!!!
Do you realize that your epic math skills would leave the in game population both balanced, and yet STILL well above typical vanilla pop?
If a faction has a 50% advantage over the other, it is a clear sign that it is broken and in need of a dramatic fix.
Make BGs server only, and keep the transfers open, and you’d be stampeding to the transfer server.
Those numbers were near launch when players were actually trying to balance stuff. Highly inaccurate for some servers (like Herod) now. Since then Blizzard has made it much harder to get accurate census data.
lol I literally cannot tell if you’re incredibly stupid. 8 years old, or just a horrible troll.
Perhaps all of the above.
OK, now you are flat out trolling.

Not the point. This isn’t Vanilla, its Classic. If your idea is to artificially lock out 50% of a realm when the capacity is at 50%, its a clear indicator why you’re not in charge.
No. It’s not. Pagle has a huge imbalance. Doesn’t seem to be a problem there.
Here it is. A stupid idea. Well, one that Blizzard doesn’t agree with you on atleast.
Ok…
Explain how that’s different from preventing horde from logging in because there are too few alliance and too many horde… there’s not going to be a priority. This isn’t six flags, you can’t get an ez pass because you chose to be alliance. Player que is just that. Log in sooner if your que is so bad. Should’ve left before getting 60 like everyone on your server was warned about.
But instead lets just keep complaining about this and calling others stupid for seeing it differently.

Because the Horde enjoy an extreme advantage due to the imbalance once they actually are able to log on. The Alliance get to sit in another type of queue and get next to nothing accomplished outside of an instance.

Being outnumbered 10 to 1 is an easy pass? See, this is why you’re being called an idiot.

Holy smokes, again, this is why you’re being insulted. For the literal 30th time. It’s not the QUEUES…ITS THE GAMEPLAY AFTER THOSE QUEUES.
Jesus Christ.

Differently? No, you just fail to even grasp the most basic concept. If you had a valid response to anything I’ve said I’d eat my words on the spot here, but no, you’re stuck on this “but but but, the queuessssss” idiocy.
Just stop responding, seriously its clearly above your ability to comprehend.
This will never, ever, ever happen.

And you fail to see what I’m saying… you didn’t answer my first question for an explanation of how its different. Then you expect to have priority when you log in. Horde on your server wait in the same que.
Get over yourself.

Because allowing the Extreme minority faction to play at full strength while still being extremely outnumbered is a small concession when the Horde will still be dominating.
Get over yourself.
I’ve tried. I’m kind of a big deal though.
Then servers like Herod are doomed to die off.
There’s only one or two options that keep them alive and doing nothing isn’t one of them.
But F*ck me for trying, right?
