Another topic that comes up each time we talk about realms is faction balance on PvP realms. We’ve received a lot of feedback on this since 2019. We hear you, and with Season of Discovery, we’re going to try something new: this Season’s PvP realms have been designed to maintain faction balance as they grow. Yes, this is actually happening!
However, there is a potential cost to this faction balance that we want to make sure you’re aware of: if one faction is significantly more dominant on a PvP realm, there is a very real likelihood that faction selection may be temporarily limited on that realm. That said, our overarching goal for Season of Discovery is for it to be a fun and smooth experience, and we are prepared to change course if necessary. Your requests for faction balance have been heard loud and clear. This is a new direction for us, and one that we’re excited to try.

The same argument could be said when the faction turns into an entirely mono-faction. You have the freedom to join the population managed SOD or the freedom of not managed versions where mono-factions have appeared on their respective realms.

Last but not least, allow people who subscribed that cannot play faction/server they want to be refunded.

Your subscription grants you access to the game, nowhere does it state to a specific faction/server and no refund will be given based on that.

Edit: I understand you want to play with your friends/family, you could always suggest they add in systems or another to enable but I think there’ll be always people left behind in any given system.
