You really need a good nights sleep and a rethink of your counter-logic to my point about the fact that since Battleground PvP is available on all 156 servers it is the most "successful". Your metric for success may be different than mine, perhaps you are using an aesthetic definition along the lines of "that I prefer".

There are more people playing Battleground PvP than regular PvP. It has more consumers. Ergo it is the more successful product of the two. "If you compare two elements to see which one is the most successful you cannot count one of the two twice". Please be sure and drop a note to Venn. He'll be really upset.

This and the notion that the PvP servers have lower populations than PvE servers originate from things said by Blizzard folks, e.g. at AGC last year and GDC this year.

Most games try one form or the other of PvP -- some people call WoW's PvP a DAoC rip off - its more than that - EQ2 has "Arena PvP" which is too much like Counterstrike PvP, too artificial, and just doesn't cut it the same way WoW's combination does.

The closest thing to WoW's PvP is, perhaps, Anarchy Online. But Blizzard have managed to bring the two together in one game, and successfully sell both the MMO PvP and the CTF PvP to both sides of the fence.
