Ghostlands* is a new realm.

Umm -- Unless your target population is 100, why on Azeroth are you creating new realms?

The one I play on is listed as medium and it is DEAD. It would be dead if we had twice the population.

There are no low-pop PvE realms that we could transfer to, thus, Ghostlands.

Enjoy.

Transfer them to the great MANY underpopulated medium realms.


I believe you're taking the population tags too literally, there are no PvE realms that could be considered medium population. That is, of being anywhere near half-full. All current PvE realms are at 85%+ capacity.

The low/medium/high tags are relative to the populations on other realms in that battlegroup.

How about some faction-based transfers? Now there's a workable solution to imbalance problem.

90% of Malygos is alliance, and were still low-medium. Please throw us some hordies to replace the half or so that have transferred off.


That's a bit more complex. Old timey PvE realms, which are generally the ones queuing as far as PvE goes, are all Alliance heavy. The only realms that are Horde heavy are TBC launch day PvP realms.

How many people do you think want to transfer from their PvP realm to a PvE realm?

However, Malygos, has a pretty close 2:1 Alliance/Horde ratio. Which, while isn't necessarily ideal, has been the going rate for PvE faction balance since the launch of the game.

Is there anything being looked into as far as Alliance-gt;Horde transfers? As in changing the faction of your character? I play on Llane and last I checked I think it was about 4-1 ally/horde. Horde side feels like a low pop server although the realm itself is high pop.


It's always been talked about within the community and so it's something we've always been aware of. I think the undertaking is just so complex and potentially dangerous to the game that it's not something we're currently investing in. The Blood Elf addition to the horde, as well as the shaman/paladin swap were probably the biggest attempts at encouraging better faction balance. Trust me when I say US realms have it really great as far as faction balance goes.

Llane is better off than Malygos actually, but in the hopes of avoiding digging myself any deeper I'll refrain from giving out population statistics.
