Subject: BLUE : Elune is in crisis HELP!!!
   I know this is a heated issue over on the Elune forums so I would like to see if Blizzard plans to implement any kind of system to "help us out"

On Elune our census data is as follows (source http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?PHPSESSID=4ccae755fc5998b43d7c029257450b4a&serverid=71&factionid=-1&minlevel=10&maxlevel=60&servertypeid=-1)

83% alliance and 17% horde

Now on some servers there is at least a normal balance, but we have a problem here.

BATTLEGROUNDS - I understand that they will be instanced in some way. Does this mean that the 170 horde going against the 830 alliance will be split as:

40 horde vs 40 alliance ( or whatever numbers will be)
40 horde vs 40 alliance
40 horde vs 40 alliance
40 horde vs 40 alliance
10 horde vs 40 alliance
0 horde vs 40 alliance
0 horde vs 40 alliance
etc...

or more like

10 horde vs 40 alliance
10 horde vs 40 alliance
10 horde vs 40 alliance
etc...

This will either in the first instance ruin battlegrounds for the alliance (as they will be playing alone) or ruin it for horde (as they will be extremely outnumbered).

OTHER PVP - Horde cities are scantily defended to say the very least. Now i have confidence in the horde to defend a city, but when the alliance finally gets enough people with great gear we will be in serious trouble. Again with an extension of the statistic, 170 anything vs 830 anything is just no fun.

Alliance have been dubbed "the zerg" on elune. They zerg everything, but it really isn't their fault. They are simply playing the game as it was intended, yet the horde can rarely muster a formidable resistance.

Now that I have hopefully outlined the need for some action, here are a few brainstorm ideas, please offer feedback from the developers.

1. Character transfers only open to the alliance, from elune to a horde-heavy server. By the same token horde from that server could come to Elune.

2. Strengthen the incentives to play horde.
- lets face it Alliance has all the best racials and cities, as sad as that is.

3. give a gold incentive to alliance who transfer to another server (as in #1)

4. nerf paladins :P (just kidding please dont burn me.)

I know i know, but i dont get payed to brainstorm and your developers do.

PLEASE HELP!!! Any response would be great as well, i love elune and dont want to see the numbers go the way they are now -
Horde 0% Alliance 100%

   The census data from that website is not correct.
