I’m on argent dawn which is high pop and when I lvl alts it’s a ghost town. Sharding doesn’t work.
It sure has its problem, on my server for some reason I always get a lot of players around me from an Italian server… so much that I felt at times that I should bother a GM and ask what is going on with that.

It does work, RP servers have their own shard pool.

Both AD and Defias Brotherhood are high pop RP realms that share shards so I should be seeing way more people than I do.
Argent Dawn yes, DB is connected as I recall.
If you’re levelling in sub-BfA zones then I’m not surprised it’s dead. People mostly prefer to level in dungeons in old content.

Yeah, sharding is pretty useless at times. Seeing as they’ve done away with PVP and PVE servers, merging them until they’re all high population would be a good idea. My server used to be high and it’s at low now. No idea how that works, but it’s sad to see.
Actually, there is no sharding in old zones on RP servers. They got rid of that (around mid-Legion I think?) so that RPers can always see each other. Also DB and AD (+ the other English RP servers) only crz together in current content, the old zones are only people from your realm. So it makes sense that you often don’t see anyone around
This is never going to happen. This old hag is dying slowly but surely. As well as their other games. I put hell of a lot of money in HS cuz I was hyped. Now it is long time ago deleted. Same as their other games apart of VoV. But soon Wow as well. Blizzard is dying company and very old fashioned though.
RP realms aren’t sharded unless absolutely necessary. You are levelling in the same environment that the old system with only their own realm populations used to work. Even on the busiest of servers there are very few people levelling in the same area at the same time. This is why they shard and CRZ people to make zones look more populated. RP realms don’t get this because it ruins the RP experience.

Well that explains a lot, thanks.

Blizzard should just reduce the costs for migrating to € 5,- per transfer. I would glady pay that for my character to move to a more busy server. But rather see them to fix the sh@&!t they created themselves.
Anyways hurry up and take action Blizz. Blue response please with what you are going to do about the crappy population.
Blizzard is old fashioned? The whole reason why they are dying is because they are trying to copy the payment and interaction models of Fortnite and League of Legends too much.
If anything what is killing WoW is their seeming need at every cost to be hip with the kids and have lootboxes, paid passes, accessability etc
Just look at the hype around classic, a 15 year old game.
Blizzard is everything but old fashioned nowadays
