We are a group of 7 irl friends looking forward to playing Cata together if there are actual balanced servers.
Any ideas if there will be new servers added that might have the same faction cap mechanic as in SoD?
That would be very much needed!
The lame monofaction servers have nothing to do with real WoW or any faction based MMO for that matter.
I know monofaction problem was player created because of the GDKP movement and most people being sheep. But we can learn from our mistakes!
Please give us REAL pvp servers with faction caps (and GDKP banned while we are at it)… what a beautiful game it could be

That’s not entirely correct, with how PVP realms work it tends to skew to one faction slowly and then rapidly over time causing said monofaction realms we have of today.
That said, there are no announcements for new realms, faction locks or GDKP bans. Perhaps if more players were to post feedback or requests about it Blizzard could think about it.
The only news at this moment is that realms are being consolidated with free character migration offered and all Wrath realms being progressed towards Cataclysm.
As the past showed us it was a slow change indeed and then as soon as the big GDKP guilds/hosts left the exodus began.
There are different takes or views on the matter but the fact that GDKP hosts played the biggest role in the movements is undeniable.
Anyway… would be awesome if we had an actual WoW experience and a real pvp server in Cata again! Let’s hope for the best 
But there wont be, atleast not for long. Every time it just lean towards one faction…and then its just a snowball effect until you have 95%+ of the realm one faction. Usualy horde. Nobody likes to get deleted by ganks in world, nobody likes to play dead faction with empty AH and no ppl with proffs like ench jwc etc.
If they dont introduce some sort of shsrding, realm conection or stuff like this…one singular realm wont change anything.

Oh but it would… that’s why i said they need to have a new realm with faction caps.
Just like they did in SoD… works perfectly. If one faction gets slightly more (I think its 55%) then that faction will become locked.
We have beautifully balanced pvp servers in SoD! Awesome wpvp skirmishes with no unfair advantages in numbers.
It can work and it does work.
The only question is: all the people that role on a pvp server, do they actually want pvp?
no, people just wanna mostly be on the biggest servers for bigger access of pugs, guild variety, late night options, better AH experience etc. wpvp is a vanilla thing mostly as ppl spend a lot of time in open world, tbc/wotlk/cata is city/raid gameplay for the most part.
i don’t understand your hatred with gdkps when its clearly a very popular way to raid, and by your own words makes people transfer in mass, wanting to cut out these passionate communities just so everyone plays the way you want to play seems very unfair, live and let live.
Thats not true the biggest wpvp guilds are on faction dead sides to do wpvp against the gdkp kids ganking and raiding their faction capitals killing the bots all day all night till the whole gdkp faction dies out, same happened in mograine. Now they shifted the remaining players to the mega servers that are completly toxic and boring.
And as a second reminder if you can’t endure wpvp, just join a PVE server and you can do your faction inbalance there but keep PVP out of your PVE mess thank you!
I am 100% for the SoD 50/50 faction cap on Cataclysm, purge those gdkp, pug trash realms Blizzard thank you!

Couldn’t have said it better 
most toxic and disgusting thing in gaming history from every possible standpoint, it affects non gdkp raids, it facilitates endless cycle of gold from bots/hacks and rmt, it completely deletes any feeling of adventure from the game, just greed and endless spam in chats and mass reporting, and raid sabotages by alts in order to get clients
we had successful experiment in SoD, now time for Microsoft finish it

They won’t…
Cata prepatch is absolute disaster already. Way too many bugs and issues.
On top of that we have Monofaction realms and rampant GDKP… could not be any worse of a version tbh. Absolutely game breaking 
+1 hopefully it will happen, Ashbringer is all dead
