So,
i´ve made some thoughts about BG-Development.
In my Battlegroup, which contains some of the oldest Servers of all, there has been a quite impressive way of how the alliance-Numbers dropped - while Horde-Numbers rose after the new introduced Faction-Change. Almost all Top-PvE-Guilds are horde at the moment and while this has always been a changing fact, it is no longer. People just swap factions when they see "hm, my faction sux. Horde is getting stronger. Better swap."
Where does it lead? Funny thing is Wintergrasp on my Server Mannoroth. Fact from: http://www.warcraftrealms.com/eu_realmstats.php
Mannoroth 02/05 CET PVP DE 1,146 (10%) 10,723 (90%)
It often takes the alliance several days to win Wintergrasp back and when they do it is usually during the morning-hours (and it's being recaptured immediatly)
I got a friend on
Destromath 02/05 CET PVP DE 6,156 (22%) 22,227 (78%)
who told me, that once horde managed to keep wintergrasp for one entire Lockout period. What would you do if you were alliance on that server? Please notice that those Servers are 5 Years old.
So anyways, my point is. If alliance-Numbers continue to decrease, this will obviously make everyone have to wait longer for BGs to open. Every Horde, that is. And when one day the Alliance is extinct - there wo'nt be any more bg.
The Question is: would you care?
