Topic of the Week - Where's the Balance?

Two main issues have plagued WoW players since the initial launch: server population levels and faction balance. With the release of the Burning Crusade, things have only gotten worse. I look at the question: Where's the balance between the servers and what should Blizzard do about it?

The other balance issue that has been around since the launch of WoW has been the faction balance on servers. Since the dawn of time (ok, since the launch of WoW, but was anything really important before then?) the Alliance has outnumbered Horde on almost every server, sometimes drastically. Now with the launch of the Burning Crusade and the release of the Blood Elves, there are some new servers which have gone the complete opposite direction. So, you could select a busy server to join, only to get there to find out that it is the other faction that has players, not your faction.
