Well the realm status page care to disagree.
I can’t post a acreenie, but I can copy/paste and link:
Realm Status:
Ashbringer PvP Full CEST English

They had Dreadnaught on full when less than 700 players were online with only 430 logged raiders. The tag on that realm and the realm being full of players is very different.

And exactly this is the issue.
You will never have a realm in EU outside peak hours where you will find a group “instantly” (which isn´t a necessity anyway), without making the game unplayable for everyone else.
I also have a char on Firemaw (unfortunately), due to a RL friend.
My friend does also play outside peak hours (mainly during the day/morning), and he had all raids within the first 3 days including a bunch of achivements.
Playing “Outside the peak time” isn´t an issue on Firemaw - except maybe in the middle of the night (between midnight and 6 am or something like this)
But in that case an US realm would be, probably, the better alternative anyway.
There are no “dead realms” - except maybe the mega realms. From a community point of view - these realms are toxic sh… holes.
Nope, we are not.
There are a bunch of people who would like medium pop realms (for example PVP player who´d wish a medium pop, balanced realm), player who´d prefer an original “full” realm (means 4k online at the same time), etc.pp.
The mega realm players are the ones who do not let other people play as they want to- they are the reason why realms were consolidated now (e.g. one of the german PVP realms), and now they are e.g. destroying our german PVE with their toxicity AND pushing those aside, who maintained a friendly medium pop realm for 3 years
After gathering all on few mega realms and now crying, that “they can´t login due to queue”.
I´d let them rot.
If they want so desperately play on a mega realm, they can wait 
In the end, those players make the game now unplayable for those, who´d liked (or needed, hint: disabilites) a calmer, friendlier realm climate.
I don´t mind if people think they need mega realms. But then they should live with the consequencens - meand queues - and leave everyone else alone.

Wrong, because Firemaw and Gehennas have a wealth of activity during those hours. Only last week Gehennas had hundreds in the queue at 8am, so you’re clearly not following or playing any big realm to make a comparison, so discussing it with you it meaningless.
You also are a small minority that’s why the majority of the population play in two realms and are not interested in rolling on the dead realms, and when the transfers open to the bigger realms, just like on Classic and TBC, those small realms will die and eventually close down. The only reason they even exist is because there is queues on the large realms and when that is subsided every small realm as they have in the past will close.
Exactly what i said.
So you are probably playing during times, where an US realm would be a better alternative.
That´s alone on you, if you can´t choose the correct region 
Weird.
Since the char transfers were opened, a bunch of realms became full/high
Even so called “dead” realms.
Nope, we are definetly not the minority - we are just not crying as loud as the toxic mega realm players.
as i said i would let everyone play there - but not migrate away.
Wait in the queue (and no, Firemaw had not a queue in the morning. It started at noon. Only Gehennas started in the morning ), but leave everyone else alone.

You have to realise that the “full” does not mean “full at this moment”, Blizzard have said this before. We don’t know how many people “full” is either.

The US realms are not an alternative. They have less people online at 8am for me, and secondly have terrible ping henceforth they’re for US players and not EU players.
You’re simply crap posting on the thread with some next level mental gymnastics to prove that a realm, that I play, and in my opinion, I think is dead, is not infact dead and my opinion is wrong. Which in itself is hilarious and fruitless because it is dead and you will not convince me otherwise. Thanks for your input though it’s really appreciated. Have fun telling people they’re part of “the problem” because they enjoy being able to play the game they pay for. Don’t forget your clown suit next post.

It can´t work as Kaivax explained it in 2019, but they measure it somehow dynamically regarding the realms maximum capacity
Since “full” realms do not necessarily have a queue anymore, they probably have adapted it again
Edit: Or they didn´t
They have adapted something in their code AFAIK, so that more player can be online at the same time since 2019.
Means, the realms can probably just handle more players at the same time before becoming a queue, but the measurement probably didn´t change.
But that´s just an assumption

Firemaw and Gehennas are not on US. These realms are on EU. They are more populated than US realms at the time I play. You told me to play US, and I gave you the reason why I do not. Lastly, I said I play Firemaw, not Gehennas, but that is also a second option over US for people like me. You’re having a lot of trouble understanding the basics it seems but carry on sir, you’ve graduated to clown shoes with your clown suit.
Nope, i don´t have trouble to understand anything.
It´s just fun to point out, where you contradict yourself.
You said that Firemaw is “dead” because you can´t find groups.
I told you that the friend had no trouble to find groups.
Then YOU told me, that Firemaw has “a wealth of activity at this time”.
A realm with “a wealth of activity” is not “dead”, or your definition of “dead” is strange.
But this is competly of topic

Firemaw is dead. Gehennas is too. That is because the Blizzard servers in comparison to other games and even private servers are a running meme. They’re just not as dead as Ashbringer which is literally a graveyard. You are most certainly having trouble understanding but at this point I am more inclined to believe you are not actually actively playing the game based on your replies.
I take it you play Alliance on those?
Your definition of Dead is as strange a thing as I ever heard. I have characters on these ‘dead’ servers and I literally fell over other players everywhere trying to mine or pick some flowers - even low-level zones are totally overcrowded.
May I humbly sugget that you find another game instead of trying to ruin Classic WoW for the rest of us.

you mean the WOTLK realms? I am a bit confused
If you think having zero 25 mans and one 10 man group going at 4pm is alive then not sure what to say bud, it’s even deader than dead.
Also, yeah Wotlk Jackyy.

WotLK realms? No, this is Classic Era. Realm population on WotLK is not relevant here.
I don’t talk only ablot about groups, I talk about the realms as whole systems … but talking of groups … Have you ever thought over if YOU are the common factor in you not not getting/finding any groups?
And I too am talking of WotLK Classic - we should really move this to the Wrath Forum.
he talks tho as if firemaw & ashbringer are different servers. which isn’t the case on era
Yes this is the Classic forum but the SoM transfers are also going to Wrath. When I am talking about Ashbringer it is the Wotlk version. I am saying they should think long and hard about pushing transfers to Ashbringer Wotlk, because the majority of the SoM population was Alliance, and forcing them from a dead realm with no groups to another realm with only 50 Alliance players is no different from their current location.
As for Era, yes, Firemaw Era is not really dead, it’s got okay activity for the circumstances.
