Source Population Issue

Sucra
Blizzard,
The situation on server became unbearable,
Realm Population Stats (from wowwiki)
Alliance: 1458 (10%) Horde: 12,876 (90%)

and take out all the non level 80....
we have no one to play with in this server, I demand an answer of what being done about it?

For example:
we Win Wintergrasp once a week and if you are not there when it happends you can not do voa 25.
It takes 45 min to 1 hour to arrange a group for daily heroic and then when you want to summon its impossible because the stone taken by the hordes.
we can not pug simple raids such as naxxramas we can not pug anything on this server.
I used to make naxxramas raids for pugs on friday but it took me 2 hours just fix up a group eventully I gave up,
I contacted you ingame billion times, asked you the same question, they only answered I recived is I will move the suggestion further.
we are paying you the same money different server are paying while we have terrible experience

I do not know how it can be solved merge with anouther server, or transfer.
People are tired of it, they want to have fun aswell.

Thanks in advance.

Q u o t e:
I really don't want to leave Spinebreaker, so my guild is commited to do something about the problem. Just recently we started making alliance alts to at least try and fix the problem. Soon, we're going to create our alliance guild. Our contribution is small, but it's a start.

Personally I think that is a good idea. After all, I didn't pay for half a game and would like to explore both factions. If it's fixing the alliance population imbalance then why not?

Maybe more horde players should follow our example, because I think that the Spinebreaker population are the only ones that can actually fix the problem.
Truly commendable. I salute both you and your guild mates.

We are beyond being "just aware" of faction imbalances on some realms; we set up FCMs and we do actively think about other ways to help resolve this. This isn't something that has fallen off our radar. We have considered and still do consider various ideas, including many often suggested ones.

But I feel your point is a fair one: greater balance would be easier to attain if more people were prepared to actively try out the other faction on realms where that faction is lower in population. Maybe the lure of Cataclysm's Goblins and Worgen will help people consider a faction holiday, or a full out defection to the opposing faction! ;-)

The good news is not everybody has given up, including you and your guild and including us. Here's a recent example of a player-driven initiative that looked promising for Magtheridon Alliance: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=10920573014&sid=1&pageNo=1

So to reiterate: we commend player driven efforts to help achieve greater balance, but it is also something that we are not just aware of but actively thinking about with, of course, the aim of improving the balance.


Q u o t e:
On a side note: If there was only a way to transfer heirloom (BoA) items to our shiny new alliance alts it would speed up the process considerably. Make it so, Mr. Blizzard!
Then the good news is that, if you're able to patiently wait for patch 3.3 you will probably be rewarded with the very thing you're requesting. That's right, we aim to implement the ability to exchange bind-on-account items between your Horde and Alliance characters in patch 3.3. Of course, as with anything not yet live (and even things that are) this is subject to change, but it currently remains our intention. Hope that helps somewhat, or rather, hope that will help somewhat. ;-)

Q u o t e:
In any case, a FCM from sylvans to this place could do wonders:P
There is one! Check the Realms & Migration thread:

Good luck to the brave Alliance heroes who build up the courage to invade!
