I ran Censusplus on my server last night during prime time. Result was about 1,000 Horde players, and 2,000 Alliance players, a 2:1 Alliance to Horde ratio. Apparently the introduction of sexy blood elves didn't do much to correct this ratio on the old servers.
But if you look at some of the new servers, the ones with the "recommended" tag, the situation is reversed there. There are often more Horde than Alliance on the server, and the blood elves outnumber the Draenei by 2:1. So sexy blood elves *are* more attractive, but the effect only becomes significant on a new server, where everybody creates new characters. On the old servers most people are busy leveling their level 60 characters up to 70.
That is a bit annoying for me, as Horde player on an old server. The Burning Crusade introduced different types of overland PvP objectives in the different Outland zones. And by being outnumbered 2:1, the Horde rarely if ever wins any of these objectives. Maybe in a year or so the ratio will get more into balance on all servers, but right now the problem isn't solved yet.
