== Content ==
			The pvp server will never grow if all teh pvpers choose the pve server.  it seems like there are a lot of pvp players out there looking to have some fun on a pvp server.  i would go with the pvp server if that is your thing.	
----
			Seems apparent to me that PvP isn't that popular in this game, I would choose PvE, though personally I'm not a major fan of PvP to begin with so I'm biased.	
----
			
So lets put all the troubles aside. Lets think long term, I had some old chars on this PvP server. But it seems like the PvE server is way way more popular, am i making a bad choice picking the pvp. will it die out in time? I dont want to put alot of effort and then i cant raid or anything.
What do you think?

Depends what you want from the game.
 
PvP guilds exist on PvE servers, but there are probably more of them on PvP servers.
 
And likewise I am sure there are guilds on PvP servers that plan on doing end game pve content.
 
Battleground queues are shared cross-servers, so that isn't much of an issue.
 
The only difference is you can't attack the enemy faction at will out in certain areas on the PvE servers.	
----
			
I think there are too many variables at play to safely say.  Influx of new players, server queue times, server stability/responsiveness, etc...
 
If the PvE server(s) continue to feel far more bogged down than the PvP servers, expect a balancing of the population between the two.
 
My guess is that PvE severs will be more populated when the dust settles, but who knows at this point.	
----
			Honestly pick the server that YOU want. Prior to f2p, there were many issues that lead to the lopsided playerbase going to PvE. However post-F2P now is the best time for people to go to PvP server and start building that up,  It sucks for people that missed the free transfer train though admittedly, but theres a good pop now that's far from dead and it's basically a fresh start.

			I've always been a big fan of the PvP server. Unfortunately, I left with my guild during the great migration so my main is on PvE :'(I'm rolling new characters now on the PvP server and I can see it surviving with f2p transition. It'll of course never be as big as the PvE one, but as long as someone can just jump into the game their will be a PvP population.  	
----
			I can say that when the servers are up the pvp server queue times are about 2-3min if that.	
----
			Actually i both PvE and PvP and ive played on a PvP server on wow for 10 yrs even tho i mainly PvE i just like the option of having the pvp function whenever, feels more immersive when you have 2 faction battling eachother. But my main consern was if you think there will be problem down the line with finding people for content to do. I know its early to say but. I dont know what kind of crossrealm features Wildstar has.	
----
			
That's a very hard question to answer as many things can happen in the future. I think that at least for the short term I personally do not see that issue being something you need concern yourself over.
 
Pretty much all of the instanced content that you can queue for is crossrealm(Shiphands, BGs, arena, warplots, dungeons, and adventures)
 
Raids currently are not possible to do this in because there isn't a queue system, but from recent stream it sounds like they expressed itnerest in adding this feature later down the line.

2-3min for bg queues that is
2-3min for bg queues that is

			PvP and PvE servers share the same queue times for BGs.	
----
			
If you like PvP, go to the PvP realm. 
 
If you don't like PvP, go to the PvE realm.
 
The PvP realms are very populated now and even have queues. They'll be fine.	
----
			None right now, both unplayable due to lags.

			Join pvp if you don't mind getting trashed from time to time. I'm sticking to pve.
