Grim-Batol horde need's SERIOUS help.
|
Grim-Batol horde side is pretty much dead, the realmlist lists Grim-Batol as a HIGH population server, I have no idea how that's even possible, there's not THAT many alliance players compared to horde.
I altso know for a fact that this is the problem with alot of other servers aswell, can't Blizzard add free server transfer, or atleast make the option to factionchange from Ally -> Horde for free on some servers ? Does Blizzard really not care about their customers- and all they do is just milk wow for what it's worth before Titan? I took 2 screenshots, 1 of Durotar and 1 of Orgrimmar (the 2 most populated zones on horde side- where PvErs mostly reside in Org, whilst PvPrs mostly reside in Durotar) Durotar: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5181/wowscrnshot101511183943.jpg Orgrimmar: http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7880/wowscrnshot101511184734.jpg As you can see, this doesnt look like a "high population" server at all. And I really do not want to transfer from most of my friends on this server to have the possibility to get a rated battleground group up. - Hyu |

What's more important to you, friends or battlegrounds? There, you just answered your own dilema. |
I'm still on Grim-Batol arent I? So ofc friends means more to me, but why should I not get the option to have both? How hard is it for Blizzard to balance the server populations? Shouldnt be that hard at all. |

And what to do suggest Blizzard do? Force people onto your server? That won't go down well. Only the players can fix your population imbalance, by either moving to or moving from your server. People don't want to be the underdog faction on any server. You can't force them to be on your server, or any other server for that matter. Blizzard cannot fix things that are out of their control. |

Blizzard actually opens free server transfer/faction change to servers who needs it. Back in TBC Agamaggan ended up with really bad population so some servers got the option to server transfer there for free. I suggest Blizzard do this more frequently to help servers/factions with low population. |

Rarely works, the people who take the free transfer either transfer back or stop playing those chars. |

Even with a free transfer open, people will not move to the underdog faction. Even if they did, They'd still have to take people from one server to fill another. What happens to the server they took people from? Yes, that's right, now that server is underpopulated and straight back to square one. |

Umm is this post purely made to show off your expensive mounts?
Also, the screenshots aren't exactly very unbiased. You haven't taken a view of most of the populated area in Orgrimmar, and in the Durotar one, well, that place is empty on my realm. Also... I see the time in the screenshots is 6:48. Do you really expect that many players to be online in the morning? |
Umm is this post purely made to show off your expensive mounts? It's 6:48 mid day, my WoW client is US, so it's shown as 6:48 instead of 18:48 Same as on my calendar Saturday is the last day, instead of Sunday http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1001/wowscrnshot101511200421.jpg |

Because two spots in the entire game lacks people, doesn't make it poorly populated.
This is how it looks right now for me on Grim Batol (20:00 gametime) Trade District/Elwynn Forest http://i53.tinypic.com/e0pylw.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/nb7jg8.jpg Orgrimmar/Durotar http://i54.tinypic.com/8yrr53.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/24dizh5.jpg I honestly wouldn't claim the horde is dead with that amount of hordes at the same spot in the game.. |
Because two spots in the entire game lacks people, doesn't make it poorly populated. Do you honestly think that's alot of players for a "HIGH POPULATION" server? |

Both yes and no, because I know it's based on amount of players on the server as a whole, across all zones in the game, and not on the amount of players in one zone. |

Gauging a server's population based on a single screenshot is about as effective as gauging annual rainfall by putting a cup outside for a single night per year. Not to mention that the amount of players will greatly vary from hour to hour. Some guilds may already be raiding at that time, others may start a lot later.
Ultimately, that doesn't matter. To me, it just seems like you want to complain for the sake of getting your friends over here for free so that you can do RBGs. In which case, why don't you just ask them to transfer their characters here. If they're really such good friends of yours, it's a small price to pay. TL;DR:

I'll make it so most can relate:
http://images.travelpod.com/users/jody1/2.1202702640.an-empty-camp-ground.jpg This is fat camp. Now, with a situation explanation: This is fat camp when the ice cream truck stops nearby. Blizzard has reliable figures on the status of active players on a given day at a given time. You can daisy chain some LUA code together to get a partial view of the same data, but it will always be borked to start with. Don't degrade yourself with pictures, it looks so silly :D Either way, senseless points are senseless! Somehow I feel like ice cream now. |

I used wow Census addon and alliance had the 2x more players online than the horde you can run it yourself to get some results.
at 15gametime was 700-85 on horde side and near 1500 -85 on Alliance side. |
|
Because there's more to wow than gold? Mb I'm just being silly.
