There is probably something like 2% of the total population who are at level 60 right now. You’re going to have to let everyone catch up before you can proclaim the server as dead.
Done that dude thanks. I will keep bumping that topic.
@ tem:
Yeah I gave it 2 weeks after I got to 60 and it’s day 15 today. Still no signs of any server economy.
Also maybe that 2% is correct for this dead server. But on full servers like golemagg, gehennas and shazzrah all end game content is being cleared for 2 weeks+ now and there are even people with full tier sets.
So that 2% wouldn’t apply there, which is again the problem.
As a last note (i will return back to the game): Some people might like to be in a super casual dead server with no raids and no endgame content. I don’t enjoy that, so if they could give us the paid transfer on a 1 year cooldown or something, I will just leave the server and people can keep enjoying their super exciting stockades runs on this server.
I respect that. And Blizzard should respect people like me who are stuck in a limbo.
They should just merge two low pop servers, paid faction transfer at £20 a character is a joke price

I don’t get it, you rushed to 60 and transferred to a new server where the majority of players will be just starting out at level 1?
You can’t have played casually to have the hours you’re claiming. In fact you’ve pretty much confirmed you’re playing on average 12 hours a day… I play 2-3 hours and am a proud level 35 
if you think for a second 12+ hours is casual you need to take a step back and take stock of your life.
What this really reeks of is you power levelled, though you could “get ahead” and manipulate the markets to turn a quick coin etc by jumping to a new server where you would be higher level than 99.9% of the population but it kinda hasn’t gone to plan, no ones buying your stuff and you’ve no one to do end game dungeons with.

Bring 60 3 weeks after release is hardly rushing. In the first week sure.
Nice attempty at trolling but you are still stupid anyway.
One last try:
Being 60 in first 4-5 days is rushing. A lot of people “rushed” in large servers.
Being 60 in 7 days is not that much “rushing” but its still a dedication. I did this.
Being 60 in 3 weeks is not rushing, it is super casual. Almost none did this on ten storms. Know why? Dead server.
Having 50 level 60s on a server on day 4-5 means that server is very high-end and competitive. A few servers had this like Gehennas and Shazzrah.
Having 30 level 60s after 3 weeks on a server and doing a /who 60 at prime time to get 15 results means that server is garbage.
Can’t really simplify this more. If you can’t even understand this, go try brain surgery or something, I’m not an expert on that.
Additionally:
We didn’t roll on these servers consciously. In the first 2 days of launch none really knew which servers would end up empty or dead. Blizzard asked players to choose new launched servers and that’s what we did.
So we are right now in a dead server since we listened to what Blizzard asked us to do.
Use your brain.
When do you think they will add ‘paid character transfer’? Since you said they have suggested they will implement it aventually.
I’m starting to think going to a full server and putting up with the queues isn’t a bad idea because all I want is to bg, and I’m worried about how long the queue time for each bg will be on my server. The population of the servers are going down and my server looks like it might be medium by the time bg’s come out in a few months.
I have a bunch of irl friends who started whining in the first weak because of lengthy queues. Then they laughed at me for still being in queues on Firemaw while they rerolled on a low pop realm. Now they’re whining again and I’m laughing.

Isn’t there like a couple of low pop servers? They should just merge them tbh… Into a single new realm with a new name, and yes… Some people might not get their names but tough sh*t, it’s a needed collateral damage to trade for solving an issue that is only going to grow over time, people are already selling names on servers for real money…
They need to merge the low pop servers into a new realm, and let the people who first log on have their names. That is the most fair solution.
TL:DR MERGE LOW POP SERVERS

I am but I don’t like your tone nor your attitude, enjoy your dead server and feel free to piss off.

This thread is fascinating to the max. First many people complained how the launch was handled terrible and there weren’t enough servers. Now people are realizing that some of those then delivered servers ended up being dead…
And to be honest I think these servers should and probably will be merged in a few weeks. Blizz is simply waiting for things to settle abit more. Probbably they hope that some overrun servers will calm abit by people moving from there to ghosttowns 
On the other hand you have unempathic people that seem to take a joy in laughing at people for having tried to improve everyones situation by picking not overrun servers. These very people actually lowered queues on high pop realms by not joining in there, how can you not be on their side and wish for those “dead” realms to be merged?

You can piss off from this topic and go find yourself another cave to dwell, lowlife troll.
@ Jeremiel
I think a merge could be good but knowing how Blizzard can ignore dead servers from retail for many years, I’m not really that optimistic.
I think we are kind of doomed over here.
Excuse me mate, but I don’t understand your logic. You took 2 weeks off to play Classic, while most of us didn’t, so you went WAY ahead of the rest of us level wise. You probably were in the 1-2% of the fastest players in your server…why did you exactly went to a new server?
Being on holidays for WoW Classic allows you to dodge any queue, no matter the server, as you log in before any of us get back from work, family stuff, etc. Being repeatedly ganked shouldn’t be a problem for you either, as you outlevel most of the people on server by far. Finding a guild of hardcore players like you should be piece of cake…
And you decided to go to a new realm? Why was that, you wanted to make first-server kills of Ragny and Onyx? It’s the only explanation I can think of.
Transfering to a new server was a HUGE mistake. Server population isn’t gonna go up in almost any server, it’s gonna go steadly down as newcomers to Vanilla find Classic to be a walking simulator, some people stop feeling the nostalgia they feel the first weeks, the great community that is now here will slowly corrupt by the purples, etc.
Don’t know if you are new to WoW, but let me give you a piece of advice: don’t trust Blizzard. They don’t care about your individual experience as a player, they care about numbers (gamers, $ or €, etc.).
To be constructive, I recommend you to get your main as ready as you can. While you wait for pay server transfer him/her back to an alive one, play an alt in a high population server. Any server below Full or High will not survive in the future.

You say you have job and 4 kids yet you were 60 in 7 days.
Even with all the queues before free transfers were on.
Also you do expect all others will have 60lvl in 3 weeks since launch.
Yeah your Magesty, i dont believe you single word about your IRL.
- your attitude to others. If you have family and FOUR kids, you should be already mature enough, yet mature ppl with all these responsibilities wont rush to 60 and call it dedication.
I moved at first day it was open from Gehennas to Earthshaker. Realm is Medium. Somewhere around 5-6k aliance and same nuber go for horde,
yet we have cca 170 ppl at lvl 60… Strange? No, thats normal.
So start work on your attitude, since your kids are mirror of their parents.
Period.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You’re a no-life and have no clue how normal people play. Super Casual people get to 60 in 2-3 months. 3 Weeks is hardcore for anyone that has job and/or family to take care of in real life.

What is peoples problem here? Why are you bashing op for being 60 or spending those 2 weeks ingame mostly? If it was fine and settled with his family it’s pretty much their own business… if he neglacted his reallife for leveling in WoW… kinda still their own issue.
Those complaining about the level speed… really? The only thing that’s making Classic really slow atm is the amount of players… if you are on holidays and got abit of time you can level to max in waaaaay less than 3 weeks.
It doesn’t take away anything from the general issue that people moved to realms that ended up being pretty dead. This moves were asked for (kind of) in order to improve the queue situation that impacted all…
@OP: I don’t think you are doomed, guess Blizz will fix this but give them some time. The entire Classic hype needs to stabilize abit more for them to make proper estimates on which servers need help. Until then I guess you have with the current situation, but they didn’t leave people on empty realms in classic and it won’t happen now either.

No one’s bashing him for being a hardcore player. Simply trying to explain that yes it will be pretty lonely if you’re the first to 60, most people are nowhere near that.
The server is not dead… Just wait over the next few weeks/months for people to reach higher levels.
