Official player population statistics for each server

Blizzard, it is time that you to provide your customers with official player population statistics on each and every realm.

How many Horde and Alliance, classes, races, levels etc there are on EVERY realm.

This will probably help a lot with player taking the free migration to other realms rather than stay on the most overpopulated ones.

Not enough people are migrating because all they hear are “Server X and Y is dead, don’t go there”.

Maybe more people would consider moving to lower populated realms if you showed us the OFFICIAL numbers of a realm population.

Now people have to search for unofficial non-reliable statistic from third party sites (that most people never heard of) that requires addons or other ways to collect population data.

You are asking us for help with spreading out the population by giving us free migration to “dead servers”. Take the next step and show the actual player population numbers.

Unfortunately it is in Blizzard’s interest not to make this information public, otherwise it would have been since 2004.

They put the responsibility on us to balance servers and we dont even have the very basic tool for figuring out what realms are imbalanced. We only have some third party site.

Is the state of this game due to deliberate negligence or incompetence?

They used to do it. Stopped in WoD.

I am actually crazy enough that I ‘think’ I can make a pretty accurate estimate.

When I was checking out Nethergarde for my transfer it was marked as ‘high’ (at peak A/H ratio was 2400/3400) a day later I checked and the peak was 2600/3500 (and the next day after that the server was suddenly marked as FULL)

If you are crazy like me you can do the same by : Select speaker icon in the chat window, click on LookingForGroup and run this command.

/run print(GetChannelDisplayInfo(6))

You have to do this on both factions by making a character.

My closest guess is that it is calculated as follows (just about) :

Concurrent players total is: (so alliance + horde)

<500 - low
500 - 2000 - medium
2000 - 6000 - High
6000 - 14000 - Full
14k/15k+ - Queue

The status seems to be carried over to the next day (so the peak from the day before).

And no I don’t think Blizzard is to happy with sharing this data. (but then again with some effort the info is somewhat there anyway).
