Please, no drama and no flaming, I am just stating the obvious …
Both server are semi dead, myself from Stitches, if we have no pop, I don’t even want to think how much of a desert Nekrosh is.
Let alone the state of the AH which is absolutely empty of any worthwhile items and prices hyper inflated.
Merge both server = win win for everyone, no minuses, as of right now, there is just no need for x2 HC servers.
Thanks!
And this is why I was anti-realm expansion because the servers will be ruined for the next “fad” sigh.
They may repurpose a realm in the future for the other HC flavour or something.
And seperate the community again?
It feels like every new game mod, separate friends and players …
What we have now? Retail > wotlk > wow era > wow hc > sod > hc sff next?
Just stop ruining communities! 
It is true tho, players are more or less in the same play-area, wrath and HC-Classic and regular Classic Era players went to SOD and some from Retail came over too.
It’s just because they all found a new shiny thing to play, its not really a bad thing but it leaves behind empty realms after spamming threads about realm expansion/queues.
No thanks, realms not dead. They will grow again as SoD lose interest.
Nek’rosh and Stitches now both with three layers. Seems Stitches had it worse … maybe because streamers?
First try remove layers 
What about u talk? im from Stitches. U can find party for dangeons, u can buy items on AH. It’s playable. Maybe u see situation like a 60lvl player (raid and etc.) There are a lot people lower 50 lvl, coz was 2 server crashes which killed a lot of 60 lvl players, and some griefers kills inside big guilds in raids. One week ago online was more bad, like today. Since several days ago Online become more better every day
Having 3 layers makes world dead, I am talking end game content, you can’t even find a DPS to play dungeons with at this stage, looking for a group takes over 1 hour on average if you have tank, if you do not have tank, 9 out of 10 groups will disband.
I don’t really care about lower levels honestly, 60s are practically have maybe 1% activity it had before SoD launched.
And I don’t like to rely on the “maybe” sod people come back because most won’t probably.
If u can find 1 unique dangeon per 1 one day, i think server is ok and playable. About Tank and heal, sometime u must give them bonus. Like First Orb to tank, or some gold bonus. When i wanted make full maraudon quest(long time dangeon) i payed 5g bonus to tank for he choose our group
Blizzard have never merged servers that I can remember. Only closed them down.
Connecting them is a permanent thing.
People will be back to HC and Era when they get bored of SoD not going fast enough for them.
Nek’rosh have three layers since before SoD launched.
Not all want mega-server. Is instable, lagging, hyperspawny enough with three layers.
Not fault of server, Blizz or even players that you like mega-server. Not all do and choice should be given to also have lower pop-server to play on.
Seems Stitches was hit hard by SoD, by crash - more times, so not so many level 60 around.
While I feel sad for you,but still I feel unjust if many to suffer for your comfort in find a dungeon fast.
What about you join Discord or guild(s) or both, and not let others to solve your problem?
Wait, a week ago I checked the hc realms and they were both Full.
What’s the definition of Dead and Full?
Edit: Okay. Now they’re Low and Medium, respectively. Definitely supporting at least connecting them.
As for dungeons, the solution is the dungeon finder.
At the very least to the point that it generates the party and sends a
/i Hello, this group is formed for Deadmines. Good luck!
WLK has much more activity than a year ago, having a blast with dungeons (some aspects not perfect), and I can quest while looking for a group, instead of staring at some screen or chat and cursing about the lack of players doing the same.
You can still start as a group, and frankly with any earlier solution I didn’t make a single friend either, we just played hamster in the wheel.
Definition vary depending who you ask.
Blizz use modern definitions. Low now most probably same as low end of High in Vanilla.
I see Nek’Rosh ‘Low’, I meet people at all times, ask for help, receive help, same with buffs. Only difference from before SoD = now I can level Herbalism in evening, when I have playtime. Still three layers, still groups, still auctions, in short. Not dead at all.
I second this. I have tried to get in to an uldaman run for days till I finally outlevelled it and now I cant find a group for ZF. My guild is mainly a raiding guild so only few levellers online. Before SoD it was easy to find a pug anywhere every day but now it seems impossible.
On Nekrosh there is literally no 60 content at all, i am not able to do a dungeon since SoD launch.
Maybe let people transfer servers at least, i would definately switch to Stitches if i could!
It’s literraly impossible to do elite quests around level 40 in horde. Tried to find people three day in a row no one answered. Really frustrating.
I can tell you my view on the situation on Nekrosh from the point of view of a player in the largest alliance guild on the server. My Hardcore Elite guild is no longer able to put together a raid. During the day we have approximately 4-6 players online. We are currently trying to raid with the second largest guild, which also cannot fill its roster. Because of this, many players who died decided not to continue and non re-leveling.
Dungeons with an open invitation are almost no longer available in the world. The few dungeons that are put together are put together on discord between two guilds. Assembling a party for these dungeons takes approximately 1 hour.
AH is completely empty. Prices for flowers and consumables are in hyper inflation. The situation is such that many players are forced to play practically SSF. Cancel your primary professions and level gathering professions.
@Thallisa, your view of the server is totally distorted and untrue. Often even 30 minutes - 1 hour goes by without anyone writing something on /world. I see low dungeons in the world maybe once a day.
If blizzard doesn’t want to merge servers, it should at least allow the transfer of characters to another server.
Why you need to lie with things can be looked up?
AH is not empty, 12471 items and Stitches 25607.
I see people talking more times an hour, more in cities than in wild – but logical. I don’t chat while figth for survive (if what you call /World is my /1 general), but true, not many dungeons … way more than once/day though.
And still, even at almost 11 am. enough online for 3 layers.
I never speak against transfer – only against merge – am all for freedom of choice, which I won’t have if merge happens.
It is obvious to us high level players that you are playing another part of the game at the moment. There is always something to do when you are leveling. But at the maximum level, it looks like I described above. And every player who is able to level up to the maximum level will encounter the problems I describe. Which in the end will only lead to frustration.
As for AH, I really don’t have to lie. The fact that the store is full of chocolate does not mean that there are also pastries and meat.
Right now in AH on Alliance:
1x black lotus
0x any flask (only 3x petri dishes for 110g)
5x moongose, 0x giants, 10x fortitude, 0x sup. deense
4x orb
1x mooncloth
300% inflation on herbs
I’m not an expert, but something tells me that the server doesn’t look good like this
Yes, I play for levelling - no shame in that. I play to REACH level 60, then park and start over. End game is not least interest to me.
Solution would be for me End game HC server for all 60’es.
Also I think end game HC suffers more – way more – from SoD than levelling HC.
AH is not empty, 12471 items and Stitches 25607.
yeah thanks to addon people put low level item 1 by 1 insted of stack.
So you just get 100 result for light leather, when it’s only 5 stack of 20.
You do that for almost all consumable, you end up with barely anything on sale in AH.
