does that imply the sides were balanced before when we had two arenas?  or when we had a two hour switch time?  system may not be perfect now, but it allows for less people to switch to horde with whoever side is hording.

No it implies the sides were NOT balanced when we had two arenas.  They are balanced now generally speaking, but there are times when they aren't and I'd love to switch teams.

my bad, i misunderstood. 

I think a better idea to allow for unlimited switches is to have people "register" with the gamer as official "side balancers"  and whenever there's a need to even the numbers, these players would be forced to switch to a country that has lower numbers if they happened to be flying in the country with high numbers.  in exchange for that forced switch, they can switch anytime they want within a 1 or 2 hour limit.  everybody else is limited to 12 hour switch.  give these players 10 minutes to finish current sortie or automatically sent to tower and forcibly switched.

Not a bad idea.  But I don't think it would work perfectly.

nothing works perfectly, but to just allow "at will" switches never balanced the game either.

Or just let people move sides to the low numbers side free at will.  Problem solved.

Yesterday we had some problems with side balance. Bish were at around 85, while the knits and rooks were at around 110-115 players.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
