Creating Characters on the More Populous PvP Faction Will Get Harder
The character creation system in WoW: Forever PvP has already changed: it now takes faction balance across the entire region into account. Creating characters on the more populous side will become increasingly difficult.
We recognize that while restrictions are in place, it can be frustrating to not be able to start playing a specific faction in that moment, but this is a necessary trade-off for the long-term health of the ruleset, especially early on when guilds are being established and rivalries developed.
🚩 PvP
- In North America, the Horde is more populous in PvP, while in Europe, the Alliance is more populous in Roleplay-PvP
- Restrictions may shift to the other faction if the balance changes
- The largest imbalance in a region is currently roughly 55/45
- Blizzard's goal is to bring faction balance closer to 50/50
