if you told me this, 10 years ago, I Would say YES
but now, no one wants that.
The AH is cross-faction. It has been like that since WOD if I remember correctly.

Yes, this is absolutely possible tbh, letâs say magtheridon was never a top populated realm to begin with, and outland, ragnaros and stormscale have been declining in numbers, they have really few guilds relatively to what they used to be or the real top realms have.
My only doubt in your list would be ravencrest, which is still doing really well imo.
I didnât mean that Ravencrest is not doing well, I just mean that it wouldnât hurt the server if a small pop server like for example Stormrage or Aerie Peak was connected with it. Sort of what they did on Blackmoore.

Yes, indeed, thatâs absolutely in the realm of possibilities since aerie peak and the likes are so small theyâre not gonna impact population sigificantly, I think blackmoore has as many guilds as ravencrest, and blackhand, that theyâre trying to connect since several weeks, has even more.
Hat geklappt danke
Hey Esploratore, I can see you have a US account and are posting on the US forums. Do you have any idea why servers like Alterac Mountains/Warsong, Hellscream/Zangarmarsh and Aggramar/Fizzcrank are listed as full when there are medium pop servers with more people/rading guilds on them?
Proceed to âCONNECTâ 3 low english realms to 99% Polish speaking High realam.
Pretty sure you just killed these 3 low english realms and âCONNECTIONâ were just useless.
Same as âCONNECTINGâ originally Portuguese high realm with another low english realms.
No wonder you made BFA when you [quote=âKaivax, post:1, topic:162877â]
Weâve now completed a comprehensive study of realm populations for every realm in the world.

And then just did that.
And btw Forum rules : Silence.Ban,Deletion of thread which got derailed intentionally by MVP like @punyelf @trelw.

@Holystyle: Neither I nor my green colleague Punyelf had anything to do with the deletion of the thread in question. According to a non-green poster, someone intentionally sabotaged the thread in question by posting something of highly inappropriate nature to such a degree that the moderation team really had no more options left. I have no further information to offer as I did not see the material in question myself and even if I had, I would likely not be allowed to comment further on it due to the forum rules. There are other similar threads in progress that have been frequented by numerous players still in existence. In other words, threads that stay within the forum rules of conduct will be allowed to exist (as long as they are not obviously of duplicate nature).
If you have a valid complaint against my (or Punyelfâs) behaviour, you are welcome to contact the Blizzard community team, which is responsible for overseeing us. As far as I recall, Punyelf already provided the contact address in at least one, possibly multiple other threads. I need to stress that members of the âGreen Dragonflightâ have no moderative powers whatsoever. I can not speak for Punyelf, but I wanted to post more in the removed thread.
On the actual topic I have note that connection program 2 is still ongoing and as has been noted by myself, JĂ„nek, Esploratore and others there are still a lot of things for Blizzard to do. If you have read some of the exchanges, which I have had with the individuals I named and multiple others, you should be aware that the topic can be (and is) discussed in formats that do not break the forum rules. I will now move on to another subtopicâŠ
@Willtron: Esploratore and I (and others) have discussed this point in various threads. Very short answer is that the ingame classification is partially relative and the impact of passive population can (and does) cause cases, where the relative actually active population is similar to or even smaller than on a less overall populated realm.
all ive seen is a lot of speculation on your part and a lot of ignoring peoples points of concern on punyelfâs

@Azandel: Punyelf has the right to express her views and considering the amount she posts I would not say she ignores lots of things. She may think (very) differently about (some of) them⊠and I am sure you have already noticed that she does not always agree with me, either. 
As for speculation⊠There are areas of knowledge not available to us players and if you have watched closely, Esploratore and JÄnek (and others) have views that sometimes differ a lot from mine. I am not always right. Blizzard has already pulled several surprise moves⊠but they have also made numerous decisions that were very obvious as soon as the connection program 2 began several weeks ago.
unless the post has blue colouring, its not blizzard posting and as ordinary players , your not privied to the behind-the scenes discussions that blizzard is having when they decide on realm connections⊠all you have is a realm list, data centre list and some population data that isnât the greatest since it relies on logs since ever blizzard made it impossible to track via the AH API. From that you can make some educated guesses about what would make sense but until blizzard confirms it and makes a post about a connection itâs all speculation.
With what happened to Burning legion/Aggra I can only see that there really arenât any better servers for those to connect to⊠maybe Burning Legion might fare ok connected to a realm like Drakâthul but that would be a pretty large connection if they did that. Aggra is much lower in population and really doesnât have many other options. That being said the programme isnât over and more things might still happen :).
I see MVPâs are still derailing this thread with pure speculation and off subject stuff.
Back on topic , a good check on every server getting connected should be done , including logging in the servers and taking a look at the language used.

They do, the servers in the EU region are classified under 6 different languages locales and among those 6 languages they wonât connect servers of different languages unless absolutely necessary.

Burning Legion which is polish got connected to pure English servers which basically proves my point.

Itâs not, there is no Polish wow client, nor does warcraft have any official support in the polish language. There is no such thing as a polish server, furthermore its locale was always set to English (see below). In-game communities can migrate, so you would gimp a server in the long term if you let that be a trump card.
Let me ask you, if you had to connect burning legion to any other server what would it be and why?

Simply put none , the server is very healthy population wise , has a particularly extremely high polish speaking population (basically the entire server). They never asked for a merge in the first place.
What this has caused is for the people that speak English and got connected to BL , they server changed to the bigger servers or are enduring the language barrier. (Numbers actually went down on the low pop servers that got connected)

Not really though, it was one of the least populated âhighâ servers before the connection at around 80k, and had a profile fairly similar to US-Hyjal which blizzard did say they considered to be low population. It was for sure in better shape than Aggra was but it certainly isnât a bloated or overpopulated server⊠even post connection it ranks in at #23 among a current 107 EU server clusters, before it was connected it was at #32 if I recall correctly.
