Q: Is there any way to alter the ratio between the population of both factions?
A: We intend to install a population control system in the cilent that will prevent new characters of a particular race from being created when the population of that race exceeds a certain number, until the population balance is restored.
Woah, that's a pretty radical way to balance things. Won't that be a nuisance for a lot of players?
Let's say at the start of the game people would choose the faction they want, but since the sheer amount of players choosing at the start, that limit might be exceeded fast. So at launch, some people might need to wait some times before they can choose the faction they want. I doubt most people would change their mind just because of a system like this.

Ofcourse it also depends on the actual number. Another thing to consider is what to count, active or inactive characters or both?
