[Bastet]

saw that earlyer, kinda wondering why the sizes of the groups varie so much, but i quess theres a reason for that one.

[Nefrion]

Anyone know how much this will affect our ratio??

[DarkAngel]

Oooo 18 Servers in our pot. :biggrin:

[Sazgul]

I sure hope they kept that in mind (ration). But I dont care as long as the affect is MINIMUM wait time! :biggrin:

Level 60 ratios (from http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php):
 
------------ Ally - Horde
Agamaggan 58% - 42%
Aggramar ---69% - 32%
Al'Akir ------46% - 54%
Arathor -----76% - 24%
Azsune ------71% - 29%
Azjol-Nerub --71% - 29%
Bladefist -----50% - 50%
Bloodhoof ----74% - 26%
Bloodscalp ---45% - 56%
Burning blade -62% - 38%
Doomhammer -72% - 28%
Draenor ------69% - 31%
Dragonblight --69% - 31%
Emerald dream 80% - 20%
Sunstrider ----65% - 36%
Twilight's hammer 69% 31%
Warsong ------63% - 37%
Zenedar ------55% - 45%
 
As you can see the overall ratio will sort of be the same. However more games will be up at any given time so the queue times will average out a bit. AV will probably open more often as well. But I don't expect to see the queue times decrease much because of this, since the alliance vs horde ratio, more or less, remains unchanged (although the ratio on Aszune is one of the worst).
 
Edit: Added some '-' because this forum messed up the layout (removed spaces).

Looking forward to getting my ass wtfpwned by Burning Blade farmteams :blink:

That's one of the best and highest populated servers in EU. :tongue:

Seems to me like we're in the "old" server group, which is made up of alot of the servers that reached High population fast. I'm kinda wondering the same as Bastet about the sizes of the Groups too though.

[Deadlyspirit]

Maybe we got a bad ratio. But the problem atleast on our server is not the amount of hordes playing. But the amount of hordes that do PVP on our server.

[Neff]

Damnit, we didnt get Darksorrow =(

[Asmoden]

Damnit! wanted Balnazaar on that list!
A lot of my RL friends play there on the horde side, and i have a friend (rogue) who ofcourse says "I can WTF-pwn you all the time!"... /cry!

[Sazgul]

Well im crossing my fingers for less wait time on BG's... I hate to log on join BG queue and see that AB is 1 hour, WSG 1-2 hours, AV 2-6 hours.
 
Dream situation would be 10-30 min on all.....:clap: :clap:  Go Go Blizzard! Surprise me!

[Sandrion]

Why not introduce a 'mercenary' faction, so we can join on both sides of the queue? If there is no horde to fight then we can fight the 'evil' part of the alliance. This way you'll have non-stop PvP. (It's just an idea). Blizz is messing up the lore with Blood elfs joining the horde and so on anyway, so....
 
Cross server battlegrounds won't really fix the queue times; gameplay first, lore second I'd say.

[Nefrion]

Bloodelves are 3v!L!!!1111
 
Tried the WC3 TFT campaign? IMO one of the best campaigns ever!

[Shadowsong]

Haha, look at the Emerald Dream realm it's ratios are even worse than Aszune's!
 
I don't realy think ally queue's will be much shorter, but it will always help a bit, since not everybody on a realm does PvP.

[Bastet]

battlegroups are set up so that the overall A:H ratio is as close to perfect as possible. so i am quessing the ques will go down a bit, and its nice to not fight the same ppl all the time
