A full Classic server has a third as few Black Lotus relative to players

Low pop servers are EQUALLY populated as FULL VANILLA SERVERS.

@Delimicus-heartseeker

Go play on Sul’thraze, it’s a Full pop Vanilla server.

That’s a very interesting interpretation of what you’ve quoted.

This is the updated post, the one you’re referencing was made two days prior:

Even a Full realm in 2006 would be Low by our current metrics.

Those posts are obviously outdated.

This is not stating that the lowest population realms we currently have are equivalent to the highest population realms in 2006. It’s rather stating that a full realm in 2006 would be considered a low population realm by our current metrics.

If we contrast that with ironforge.pro for example, we can see that the highest population realms have more than 10,000 weekly logs for unique raiding characters. Servers with around 2000-3000 weekly logs for unique raiding characters are considered Low by our current metrics, but may have been considered Full in 2006.
