PvP faction balance
Blizzard changed character creation to evaluate faction balance across each region's PvP rulesets over time. Its stated target is roughly equal factions; creation becomes harder for the more populous side.[1]
The notice identifies North American Horde and EU Roleplay-PvP Alliance as the restricted sides at publication. These can change; this is not a current availability checker.[1]
The reported extreme 55/45 split refers to logged-in players across levels during a measurement period, not a census of characters or a guaranteed local zone ratio.[2]
Realmless rulesets covers broader selection rules.
