FWIW, the pick your server screen in PotBS doesn't just show you server population, it shows it by nation. So you can see how balanced the population is on the server before you choose to play there. Hopefully this will help with balance, as those who want to play the underdog can see where it's needed.
Hopefully the player driven economy will help balance the sides, also I think an experience and monetary( + money increase in trade based on population imbalance) could assist in keeping the sides balanced.
This game will be very fun without a doubt..... But it will be MUCH more fun with even sides and a fair balance. Too much stress is put on players of MMOs when they're numbers aren't up; getting rolled in PvP, no one to quest/ level with. Sometimes being the underdog can be fun in PvP, but getting completely overwhelmed never is.
