You’re lying; that’s not okay; condescension just makes you even more ridiculous.
Feel free to quit playing this “dead” game any time though. It certainly won’t suffer from you doing so.
Whoa now, don’t get so emotional buddy. I’m not quitting the game anytime soon, my guild enjoys my healing greatly.
Never said the game was dead either, just correcting your misinformation is all.

I’ve noticed that there are no low pop servers yet there are dead servers. What does this mean?

There’s three Low population servers:
Sul’thraze
Felstriker
Loatheb
Sul’thraze currently has 126 items on the Alliance AH. I’ve seen it with only 52 items on the AH.
Jesus. Really need blizz to combine these servers.
Seriously need to combine servers.
I’m guessing (so I might be wrong) but I think it’s like this: most players only play a small part of the game. Most players only do BGs, or only do raiding, etc.
So if that one part of the game, on one faction, is “dead” they say that the whole server is dead. The server may be thriving in some other part of the game, or on the other faction. But they see “dead” in the part that they play, so they call the server “dead”.

Everybody probably has a slightly different definition in their head of what a dead server is. I don’t view AR as dead, not by a long shot. Go try to find a Black Lotus anywhere…
Some of the Oceanic servers are absolutely dead by my definition. 120 listings on the AH? Yikes.

Sul’thraze only had 35 listings last time I checked. There wasn’t even a counter at the bottom because there was only one page of auctions, I had to manually count.
Agreed, I dont think it is dead by any means, though obv someone does as they bumped this thread after ppl stopped posting in it for 6 days…
Still, AR is fine for many of us. I for one am happy to not be on a mega server.
Idk why everyone seems to think there are only dead servers or mega servers and no inbetween. I want a few options for raiding, i want to search for things like moonstone, a low level mat, and find one on the AH. I view a server as dead if you have to spend hours to find a group for a dungeon during peak hours.
was arcanite reaper ever not dead? i remember looking at it during the days whitemane was inundated with nightly 2k queues and roving horde death parties and quickly recognized arcanite reaper as a dead option not even worth a second look.
Such a badass server name too
I thought this was gonna be about the weapon :(. They’re literally more rare than Thunderfury’s

B-b-b-b-but Blizzard said half a year ago that Medium realms were bigger than the Full population realms of Vanilla!!! How could this no longer be true! How can something that was true 6 months ago not be true today!
See? It’s obvious that Arcanite Reaper has far more people playing than those meager Full population Vanilla servers! There’s no way that many Medium realms are barely seeing a concurrent prime-time user count of 1,000.
Nope, no way.

Anathema has the same problem, I took the free Xfer early and I do like it here with my current guild as well as my 3 characters I’m working on, So to transfer them all would be costly.
I am hoping for something to help us out, We don’t need thousands of people but a little more would be nice, its hard to get any group below level 58 going, and I don’t see many people leveling outside cities.
A merge between Arcanite reaper and Anathema would be perfect, were both the lowest on the west coast and PVP.

Cool story bro. There is a term for quoting people out of context and then attacking the argument that was never made… what was it again… hay bale… scarecrow…
Strawman! Your favorite method of argument, second only to ad hominem. Oh wait… second only to ad hominem and moving the goal posts.
You’re a champion. Let me know when you want to continue the actual conversation you cutie!

When I explained to you that the census addon was in fact, not broken, you made up a bunch of tin foil theories about Blizzard messing with the data:
If you were interested in dialectic, you’d understand that not only do you not need an addon to gather an accurate concurrent online user count, you can SEE THE NAMES OF THE PLAYERS that the addon is tallying. You can use simple math and add up the numbers yourself.
I’m sure there’s a term for what you’re doing but I’ll just call it conspiracy narrating. Where did your idea that Blizzard broke those API functions because they didn’t want people to have accurate census data come from? Where did this conspiracy originate?
lol.
Did I upset you because I didn’t want to be your forum buddy? The moment I realized you were here to argue with no interest in the truth, is the moment I stopped caring about anything you’ll ever say.
Well, I don’t have a conspiracy friend. The entire argument I am making hinges on accuracy. I have not seen these census addons confirmed as accurate, by Blizzard, at any point in time. But what I do know is:
- Blizzard hasn’t confirmed this census data
- Blizzard could easily publish their own 100% accurate data easily
- Since Blizz has neither confirmed the census data collected by addons nor published their own data, they likely do not wish this data to be confirmed
- The only data you get out of the API is the data they want you to have
It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s a lack of an official confirmation of anything. Of course, you are smart enough to understand this, but you would rather build a strawman and attack that. Because winning the discussion is more important than actually arguing the facts I assume?
Edit: And then you edit your response after the fact. You’re a gem. That initial response thanking you for “level responses” was actually sincere. The next post you accused me of forming conspiracy theories. I can only assume that is because I actually asked you for official confirmation for things you were claiming as fact.
I don’t want to be your forum buddy though guy. You don’t have to worry about that.
Server mergers or splits do not cost money now days, they’re not physical servers as they were classically.
Instead they’re virtual machines on a larger server platform that shares resource management with all blizzards IP.
When one game or server needs more CPU or ram that “server” or game gets exactly what it needs on demand. Network bandwidth can also be handled dynamically too.
So as you can see all they need to do is shuffle things about.
The problem is a good part blizzard and so charging players who’re looking for a quality experience because they screwed up is unjust.
