Copy without slashes in front, then click “RP” (purple piece), then look at “Faction: (All)”. Overall ratio is - Alliance: 61%, Horde: 39%. So it’s not really heavy.
Majority of Alliance on RP realms are there for RP & PvE only. They have WM off.
Majority of Horde on RP realms (just as on normal) are MUCH more PvP active players.
I play with War Mode ON 100% since day 1, and I like when there is more Horde than Alliance. If Alliance was outnumbering Horde I wouldn’t be happy, since I’m not in WM for PvE - WPvP is what I like the most, and less Horde for me means less targets and content - not something to be happy about.
As I’ve told before - almost every time I play I do roam around continents visiting all hot-spots and Azerite WQs.
Sometimes, Alliance camp certain areas / FPs / WQs / Assaults. Yes, that happens, and quite often. But Horde is doing it a lot more, and with bigger numbers.
It’s much more common to meet Horde group than Alliance group - it’s just more of them.
It’s much more likely to get into Horde camp, than to see Alliance camping, and when Alliance camp they definitely are getting wiped by Horde (killed + from LFG). While getting counter raid on Alliance side is not that easy - it takes more time, and it’s hard to get similar numbers in the end.
Some examples:
Here → RP warmode ruined for RP Horde? (RP Alliance getting global call to arms rewards despite being majority in RP warmode sharding system) - #40 by Coolgroove-defias-brotherhood
And here → RP warmode ruined for RP Horde? (RP Alliance getting global call to arms rewards despite being majority in RP warmode sharding system) - #25 by Coolgroove-defias-brotherhood
Less WPvP active players on Alliance side + more PvP active players on Horde side + easier to get more players through LFG for Horde than Alliance = More Horde.
Yes, it’s not “more horde 100% of the time in any location”, and that what’s all that horde crying on RP servers is about.
Sometimes there is just more Alliance players with WM on on that Assault than Horde. And it changes to more Horde, then to Alliance, repeats…
Overall faction ration around zones (outside of Assaults) is still - more Horde.
So - if you plan to play Horde here - maybe it won’t be as easy as on normal realms, but it’s still easier than Alliance. And if you don’t forget to use LFG - it’ll be just as easy.
