No balance in realm numbers

I am not sure how reliable these sites are but I have been checking out Kilrogg Europe on some realm statistics sites and it is apparently almost 100% horde. I looked around a bit more and it isn't uncommon for realms to be massively over-populated with one faction.

This seems totally ridiculous to me. Does anyone else agree that there should be a ratio limit on realms? I would not have chosen this server if I had known there was such a massive imbalance. When we are selecting a realm, wouldn't it be good if we were told the alliance to horde ratio as well as how full the server is?

The information you have listed is not quite accurate.. :) The faction ratio of Kilrogg is pretty good as it goes, it's not 50-50 but it's also not very far off and it is in fact more favoured by Alliance players, not Horde.

Just an FYI more than anything, and a heads up that these kinds of websites can be very misleading.

Can you shed some light over if there are any ideas/implementations that we can expect in that reguard for Cataclism?
We have some ideas in the pipeline to help with faction ratios. More on that soon, though. For now though there are no plans on making faction ratios public for reasons you have named and many more.

Kilrogg is a stupid name
Kilrogg Deadeye challenges you to say that to his face. If you do, be sure to approach him from his left side, so he can see you coming. :)
