Balanced PVP server?

Dr Bob

Anyone able to recommend a balanced or slightly Alliance biased PVP server?
Preferable one with a medium population (and no queues)?
The server my guild are on is massively overpopulated with horde (80/20 apparently) and it looks like two of the bigger Alliance guilds are migrating , so it might be worth looking for a new home..

haha no way didnt think anybodyfrom here was on laughing skull!

when i first started the game 2 years ago i was in FOCUS, which was probably the top guild on horde side.

that was only because my friend was in the guild years and got me in. i hadent a clue!!

this year i was in Made In England (few Irish in it) for most of the year till i took a 3 month break. im only back so im guildless now. think im gonna wait till i have fun with wotlk and level my toons to see what the craic is with the level 80 guilds.

I was under the impression that most pvp realms were relatively evenly balanced? Could be wrong on that, but certainly all the ones ive played on have been within the 60/40 range.

If its pvp your worried about, the server doesnt make a huge difference as it sources players from the entire battlegroup.

As for pve, well, dont come to Outland :P We had the best server in europe untill migrators discovered this fact and reminded us what bladefist was like.

Thanks Copey I'll add that to the ones to check.

Dustaz,the problem with imbalance (and it happens on some servers , for both factions) is that once it starts to tip in one direction , more people look to leave , which makes the problem worse , which causes >more< people to migrate ..and so on
As someone whose server (Mazrigos)has a huge Horde to Alliance ratio imbalance I can tell you this:

While yeah ,for things like Battlegrounds PVP, the imbalance mightn't be a huge issue, but when such a small percentage of players are on your faction , it tends to be harder to get PUGs etc, also theres less high end raiding done , which means less raid sourced mats on the AH .Plus the AH economy tends to spiral out of control as theres less stuff up there.Then theres the ganking problem , when theres maybe 4 alliance players in an area , and 5 times that in horde, ganking ensues , usually the kind where 6 people whale on you at once , you res, they repeat and so on , and theres no point in trying to get help as theres no one to ask.
Oh and world pvp just doesn't happen, so no black war bear(for killing all the opposing factions leaders) for you.The Horde on the other hand have formed an orderly queue to kill Magni. I don't think I've seen a blue haala , or seen the alliance control the spirit towers etc. Wintergrasp in the expansion apparently is going to mean that world PVP is a more important part of the game , apparantly , so that is going to be a real problem for the Alliance on the server.

At the moment theres a few people on official forums looking to get Blizzard to fix this.I doubt they will though.So I reckon it'll be paid migration for most of us..

you could always try the official forums. also, i think someone posted a link here where you can check the population of realms... Dunno where it was posted though

cheers for the replies so far anyway.

I deliberately avoided the official forums as the quotient of comments from bored 13 year olds is fairly high there , (I'd just be inviting a whole pile of "lol @allliance " style replies.)
I'll add malestrom to the list of servers to check out.

TheDoc

the maelstrom has a great balance.

I dont participate in BG or pvp anymore, cause i find it boring as muck, and i just hate the amount of annoying kids on it just farming hk points.

But when its good, before 8pm, they are the most tightly contested games ive ever played, but alliance usually shave it in the evenings and nights.

AS for pve, horde as ahead..but alliance close behind id say.

Emeriss is not the most welcoming place for the Alliance at the moment, /sob.
