...population imbalances is that they are aware of the problem, but haven't come up with a brilliant solution yet Population imbalances like that exist in World of Warcraft, where Alliance outnumbers Horde in a similar ratio. But the worst effect of that is that the under populated side has a harder time to find groups, and rarely gets overland...

Most recently I posed the question to the PotBS dev team in last nights Dev Chat asking them what is being done to ensure an even population amongst nations.
