Server population and ratios

Thought i’d give wotlk a little whirl and have some chars on Firemaw , Gehennas and Golemagg which all are listed as full.

Any idea of ratios and population guys?

Gehennas is full horde
Idk about the rest

Looking at some server populations from google search , not sure if they are up-to-date but a massive wtf. Firemaw seemed to be relatively healthy split H/A but has gone completely Alliance

People suggested back in OG classic to implement some kind of 40/60 max lock system
Here we are at wrath and it’s showing 90% as one faction? Wintergrasp will be fun…

WG works as a regular battleground now …

Geh is full horde, fire is full alliance

How do you mean?
Is this for all BGs? I’ve been gone from the ‘classic’ games since SoM

There might be blue post flying about it somewhere which explains it better …

Every few hours or so there will be announcement that WG is open, you will que into it at NPC for bgs, and then get ported into separate instance …

If you win, your whole faction on your realm will get access to VoA, vendors and other stuff …

Or thats what I understand from that …

What about server ratios though? H/A?
Is it multi-server like on retail or have they made bots :sweat_smile:

All servers turned monofaction, be thankful you didnt end up like me( have 2 servers and both of the are dead)

It will be cross realm I believe ? Like battlegrounds …

Also they will introduce that stupid buff if your side isnt full

Or I might be also completely wrong …

This is what I’m actively trying to avoid and also reading other threads to get caught up-to speed with what’s happened with servers. Doesn’t look pretty

How it is possible in 2022 that a game you want to play, does not provide you enough information to pick server ? You fate depends non official sites. Not funny.

Thanks for the link bud

Also… +1 at stupid buff … wth is this :joy: :joy: :joy:

Firemaw used to be the biggest realm along with being almost 50/50 horde and alliance.
Then so many people migrated that queues grew to being over 2 hours long on raid days, so Firemaw was totally locked down. Now its not near being the biggest realm and its a one faction realm.

The realm has been totally destroyed by being locked down for too long and also of course because they offered free transfers out of the realm. Now many people beg for Blizzard to open it up for transfers, so they can get characters over on Firemaw, to play Wrath.

I just have no idea where to play and it’s really sad. I got quite excited about wotlk this week but to see this absolute sh1tshow with the servers is confusing and distasteful.

What happens if the population is 99% alliance and you want to PvP and do arenas?

Its all crossrealm … both arenas and BGs, so you never have issue with PvP …

The only issue is world pvp … if anyone even cares about that … since you will almost never see large concentration of horde on firemaw for example …
