Hello all,
Re-reading the PvP honor rewards information, I realized that we may finally have a way to measure Alliance and Horde populations on every server, to the nearest thousand.
It is stated that only 1 in a thousand characters will be allowed to attain PvP rank 14 (Grand Marshal for Alliance, High Warlord for Horde). Once the system has been in place for a month or so, we can assume that all potential rank 14 slots will have been filled.
Therefore, if your server has 7 Grand Marshals and 3 High Warlords, you can assume that the total Alliance population on your server is between 7,000 and 7,999, and the total Horde population is between 3,000 and 3,999.
It will quickly become common knowledge who the rank 14s are for your own faction. Hopefully, there will be a way / ladder to track progress on the other side, with the data split by realm. This will give you a constant insight not only into who the enemy rank 14s are, but also what the population of the opponent is.
Should be interesting to see how many servers there are where the Horde outnumbers the Alliance â¦
