Subject: Elune Server - Population Ratio, 7:1 |
| |
As of right now, you can take any site with a census and 90% of them will show that the Elune server has a 7 to 1 Alliance/Horde ratio, currently the worst in the entire game.
Now, I know half of the responses that I get to this post, if I get any at all, are going to tell me to cry more, but I was just wondering if Blizzard even knew about this ratio, because it's pretty demoralizing.
A lot of us started from day one just like everyone else, on a random server, and I don't understand why those of us Horde have to suffer more because we chose a bad luck of the draw, after spending 60 + days on our characters and not even being able to function in the Honor System because we're getting overzerged. Not only, but the Alliance have actually run out of people to zerg.
I got pushed by a lot of people just to come here and make a General post, hopefully that maybe a Blue or someone will read this and recognize the fact, maybe think of eventually helping us out (someway or another), because we all want to play this game and we love it (those of us who wanted to start a post like this), but it's becoming unplayable.
Just ditching a character you've spent a long long time on and moving out is unreal, saying that most people don't even have the patience to do that. Plus, I'm not just going to ditch my fellow Hordies.
I can't really think of any solutions other than server mergers or transfers or something, hell I'd pay $24 a month to even out the server. Anyway, night.[ post edited by Heartfailure ]

Remember that the census sites are not accurate. Looking at the Elune numbers myself, they're nowhere close to a 7:1 ratio.
That said, however, we are watching the effects of noticeable population imbalance on certain realms. We're not blind to it, and we're investigating the matter and possible moves to alleviate that issue. We're being very cautious about it at this time.

Q u o t e:
I suspect that you're looking at hard number totals, whereas the census sites are tracking visible (active!) players.
Guess which numbers I trust more? The census sites or Blizzards? It's the census sites, I honestly feel that they paint a far more accurate and honest picture about the imbalance of populations on the servers.
I was looking at active players over an extended period, actually, not hard number totals of all players on the realm. Give me a little more credit than that, please. ;)
