Blizzard makes the bigger PvP faction harder to roll on WoW Forever
Blizzard is making it harder to create characters on the bigger faction in WoW Forever PvP so both sides stay closer to even.
Faction balance on WoW Forever PvP rulesets is a big deal, and the current split isn't close enough. Even the most lopsided region is only about 55/45.
Blizzard changed character creation so it checks the overall faction balance in each region's PvP rulesets, instead of reacting to whatever the numbers look like at one moment. "Our goal is to bring things as close to a 50/50 faction balance as possible."
Short term, it's going to get harder to make a character on the bigger faction in each region. Right now that's Horde on North American PvP rulesets, and Alliance in EU Roleplay-PvP. As people settle and move around, those sides may flip.
Blizzard knows it's frustrating if you can't roll the faction you want right then, but they're calling it a trade-off so the ruleset stays healthy long term, especially early while guilds are forming and rivalries are getting set. Forever PvP is at its best when Alliance and Horde are even.
