Having played both sides all the way up, these comments just crack me up. Here's a clue, both alliance and horde have just as many idiots. Different types attracted to each side (far more l33t speak on horde, more whiney little shits on alliance, at least on the servers I played), but you are gonna have just as many.

While I played horde more, I would say the alliance side was far more mature.

Although I understand and somewhat agree with most of what you are saying Candide I believe it is as simple as whichever side is least populated will have the least idiots. I've done about the hardest thing you can do in WoW which is make GM on alliance and almost there on horde (warlord) so I spent time with some dedicated gamers on both sides. You have idiots and good people where ever you play but realms like Albion, Alliance and yes Order will always be more populated 75% of the time. There are multiple reasons for that stemming from things like marketing, fictitious morale fiber and asteascetics.

Seeing how I like to backup comments with factual data, here is the list of all WOW US servers and a snapshot of the population balance of each one within the last 30days.

http://www.warcraftrealms.com/realmstats.php?sort=Ratio

as you can see on most servers Alliance Overpopulates Horde by at least 2:1

Now you hop on a server with 30k characters... thats 20k MORE characters then Horde. With a 95% General MMO idiot factor thats 19k more idiots running around then horde :D

Like law said it all has to do with the marketing of the game and lore that determines what people will play off the bat. As a seasoned mmo gamer I will look at class balance and group utility then I will look at population. If population limits play "Which it sometimes does" then I don't mind playing underdogs with constant action.

As this post clearly points out determining population on a personal basis is almost impossible. Pick what you want to play and let the rest of the cards fall where they might.
