Server population

I start to notice sharp decline in server populations
Currently im in gandling alliance living among people in denial.
i see same people spamming for dungeon groups forever
then they give up and you see nothing on chat for a long time.

I want the most populated pvp server if any of you know what server is fully loaded id be thankful.
Horde or ally doesnt matter im outta here

i wanna see them chat channels unfollowable, thats the kind of population im looking for

In my decades old wow experience i can tell that gandling alliance has no more than 400 people max wouldnt be suprised if less. not counting people that don’t engage raiding/grouping.

A lot of people are unsubscribing because of the many issues with the game and most importantly because Blizzard doesn’t seem to care.

but ironforge is crowded

Well… seems people even left the forums. back to private servers i guess

People are unsubbing because there is nothing enjoyable to do

Yes it is. You are getting what you pay for. Patch 1.12 released in phases.

Its ok to leave. You won’t be missed

Yeah, tell everyone to leave and when your server is dead go blame Blizzard. You are a spectacular kind of fool.

End game in classic this time is worse than 14 years ago. Due to 1.12 and how people play now. In vanilla you could pvp for months and have fun. Now its a boring zombie grind fest.

So what i understand from this there are no populated servers left?

I mean i cant speak for alliance, at launch firemaw and gehennas were the megaservers and i assume they still are so give them a try.

Unfollowable chat is not authentic vanilla experience, i doubt any realm has that anymore, maybe pnly during peaktimes.

Gandling is two thirds Horde, no wonder you can’t get many people.

So right it’s just been Xmas holidays a lot of people have other stuff to do, also everyone just went back to work like me, people have to go back to work!

Maybe play at a time when work has finished and also when no holiday things are going on, hahaha common sense tbh

uhauhuehuhahuehau im so logical and funny guys vote me president

and how can you not pvp now for months and have fun? nobody forces you to sit in AV and rush drek :x

As long as it’s PvP servers dying, don’t expect me to care. There are still too many of those anyway, and more of them dying means shorter BG queues for the rest of us since they’re Horde majorities anyway

I suspect part of the “issue” is that individual players are done with the hype.
I used to have 4000 minutes in my play time reports. My last one was 900.
Some were able to use their holidays or semi-planned break between jobs to play, but that period is by and large over, too.

So normally I play 2 hours a day, but sometimes I don’t find people to do a dungeon so I end up logging out after 15 minutes. I could stay and play quests, but ironically I end up waiting for respawns in the company of several people so I log out due to boredom.

… Sounds like I need cross-realm LFG (chat) and smaller realms. Or layered zones. Some zones are literally empty as is, while others are too full. Could be related to quest design as well - too few creatures, too many drops required at a low rate, for both factions.

Many people came with objectives - get to 60 on a character or two, experience MC, experience PvP. They did that, so they can move on.

There are two other things changing the experience a lot:

  • most players are trying to play the 60 game, so new players have proportionally more trouble finding dungeon partners, and alts are living a boring life in raiding guilds with no social life for levelers (being in 2-5 guilds could help with that - some other game did it back in the day)
  • the “LF1M tank for 60 dungeon” topic has been discussed in depth.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret.

Vanilla PVP was always a grind fest.

no they need to delete some servers and move everyone in servers as much as the total capacity of active players would take and distribute them equally faction wise
