First time Classic player

Hi all,

Looking for some advice, please.

I’ve been playing since Legion but stopped about a year ago when my daughter was born. Looking to return but play Classic as I missed WoW when it first came out (my younger brother played it so I avoided it like the plague haha).
Wanting to be on the highest pop server (Firemaw?) for EU and just have a very casual level experience.

Am I mad? Is Firemaw the highest pop EU server? They all say low in the realm chooser.

Hopefully there’s a few people when levelling out in the world so it doesn’t feel completely barren.

I’m thinking of going Warlock Horder and being undead. Will be called Jimbuss.

Every server says low, they are clustered; essentially merged but retaining the old names.
But yes firemaw + its 9 other servers (squished to 1 server) is where people play.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Firemaw for PvP or Pyrewood Village for PvE. Population is roughly same size on the two clusters.

High risk of long server ques during major patches tho on those servers :<

No, there are no queues at all.
But if that is your concern, pick another server in that cluster, for example Ashbringer (PvP) or Mirage Raceway (PvE).

This is Classic Era, not WotLK

Yeah I have no PVP intention, so going for PVE server as Horde should be about the same population?

Gehennas is pretty populated on the Horde side

I thought Classic Era is already on its last patch

A rough guess is a 60/40 ratio in favour of Alliance on both the PvP and PvE cluster, so ally side will be more populated. Still, horde are alive and do have raiding in both clusters.

Just replying to say this is NOT the case on Classic-Era (aka Vanilla). Gehennas has about 5 players total.

This is true on Wrath of the Lichking Classic however.

Gehennas is NOT part of the Firemaw cluster. Try Firemaw instead and return back.

Gehennas is part of pvp cluster 2, and is quite dead.

They made two pvp clusters, but pop was struggling in the beginning.
So when they added free era transfers → everyone who payed attention went to the pvp 1 cluster.
Pretty sure there still is free era transfers btw.

Blizz should have merged both pvp clusters, no reason not to, and the community asked them for this many times but yea sadly that fell on death ears.

No, they broke once SOM transfers was added AFAIK.
