Realm Question

For about the past half hour I have been looking over the realm information. I am trying to find a PVE realm that has a slightly higher population of horde than alliance.

If I am looking at the information correctly than one of the best in that category is Zul'jin. But than, I am not sure I am looking at the right info, it says that the population of horde is 51% to the alliance's 49%.

My question though is that Zul'jin had a transfer to the new pvp server and are the numbers for the population on Zul'jin the correct numbers? Or is it before the transfer?

Also, if anyone knows of another server that is strongly horde than that would help me as well. Or tell me a better way to look at the provided info and find another server myself

Actually it is more important to look at the ratio rather than the number of horde players. That particular realm has a ratio of 1.7:1

Even though the population is 49% alliance and 51% horde more alliance are playing than the horde population. I hope that makes sense. The easiest thing to do is to sort it by PVE server and then check out the ratios or sort it by ratios and see which one has the best ratio.

Overall, PVE servers always favor the alliance. Statistically that is quite significant when looking at such arge numbers of data. Also know what the different colors mean with the ratios. If both are green that means that a lot of submissions(data) are being taken, so the information is most accurate. However, if one side of the ratio is red or yellow, that means the data could be off because there is not enough data collected for that faction.

Hopefully all that information helps to make your decision.

Oh and I am not sure how transfers work with the data. I believe the data is purged every 30 days. Meaning if someone is not seen in 30 days their character is taken off the server stats. Rollie might be able to help you more with that.

As far as server transfers and what not go, all statistical data provided is on a rolling 30 day basis for characters level 10 and up. What this means that if a character has been seen in the past 30 days, then it is included in the stats. After 30 days of not being seen, it would no longer be included.

So in the case of transfers, characters could be included in the stats from their original server for up to 30 days, until they have no longer been 'seen' on their original server.

Awesome, thank you for the info! I rolled a character on Kargath about a week ago and found that the ratio is 3:1 on that server, when I sort the rows its the worst hah. I will do more research now that I understand better, thanks again
