20th anniversary event area is empty and not enough people for events

Never realized how dead this game truly was until now, i am trying to get all the achievements but the fashion one is just impossible since i’m always alone doing it. The game is really in a sad state, Blizz should merge most servers and remove sharding otherwise… it’s unplayable.

Are you playing a Low Population server or something?
On Argent Dawn the area is overcrowed with people.

Tarren Mill, technically it’s “full” but it’s definitely not.

Right now on Draenor its full of folks, cant imagine TM being empty. Unlucky shard maybe who knows?

I’m guessing it’s not a timewalking alt is it?

Be sure you aren’t in Chromie time. It’s always a different phase if you’re in that.

I’m on Draenor and there are lots of people here all the time.

There’s something wrong with regular servers. Getting sick of it. It doesn’t feel like an MMO. It can be absolutely crowded with people in reality but there’s noone there.

If it’s not that then it could just be a less populated Shard.
Server population doesn’t really matter anymore as high pop servers are split into many shards and low pop servers get sharded into those as well.

RP servers are excluded I think. PVP mode gets their own shards too.

Not to mention it’s the morning of a school day. See what it’s like over the weekend or next reset day.

Yes it is also possible to be in an empty shard, and ofc WM on is less popular.

I am literally considering moving to AD just for this. I don’t really want to RP, I just want that.

Since we wait reset quest weekly for Bronze Celebration Tokens more.
Only reason it was warband quest
It’s why we leaved area

Seems to depend on how big the shards are, at least when it’s out in the world. It’s not too uncommon for me to see others from servers like Defias Brotherhood once it hits the more generally dead gaming hours.

Depends on servers.
But for me personally i might check it out in weeknd.
But i feel to busy atm trying grind gold or grind glided in m+ dungeons so no time for the event. Since it dosent give any benifit for me😅
I guess some players feel this way.

Are you playing with war mode enabled?

I’m on a very small server group but I’ve been surprised how many people there are in the area. Obviously it’s sharded so there aren’t a huge number from my realm, but they are still quite a few there!

I have been seeing less with WM off lately ! Strange how it varies.

I have faced some issues as well especially after the launch day of this patch. I have tried to gear up my lvl 80 alts via world bosses in Tanaris but there are not enough (or any) players to kill those which is odd. Perhaps this is related to the servers/shards/layers or something like that like people have mentioned already.

I think the queue times are quite long as well for the new raid and Cromie event at least. Timewalking dungeons works nice and fast though.

Anyhow, I hope that developers could at least check the situation and make fixes if needed. I think adding a fast queue button to celebration world bosses like in Khaz’Algar could help a bit at least.

I cant do the 3 WBs in Tanaris quest. Im sitting next to the bosses but nothing happens. Isnt this a cross-realm thingy? 5 days and still cant see a group of ppl to kill the bosses. It was every 2 mins-kill in the last near the Caverns of Time big robot boss kill in the previous years.

Its the first chance I had this week to visit the anniversary place.
Tanaris is empty. The 3 bosses wandering about the place like they own it.

Not once have I had issues with the Fashion Event in the Anniversary on Tarren. You probably hit the jackpot for the unluckiest shard. And ye, don’t be in Chromie time. Or Warmode.

To be expected. Don’t drop good gear and the only boss people “need” I guess is for Doomwalker for the mount (I think he still drops it)
