I’m thinking about making a character on classic era and just have couple questions.
Do people still play on classic era to make it worth it?
What is the best realm to pick for alliance pve?

Era is mostly high level stuff.
It’s active though.
Once Anniversary TBC starts there’ll be a population shift.
I’m unsure if the population will go up or down but there’ll be a shift.
I expect a bunch of people will leave Era to go play TBC and a bunch of Vanilla Only players from Anni will re-roll to Era or resume playing pre-existing characters.
Yes ans I love it.
Mankirk or Whitemane.
Mankirk is a PvE server
Whitemane is a PvP server
Both are very active, low level dungeons are both active and inactive if that makes sense. There is a steady flow of plyayers who level in waves every few months. If you catch a wave its a nice ride to 60.
If you dont then all the mobs are yours and its possible a wave will catch up to you.

How could the Era population do anything but go up once it becomes the only place (outside of private servers) to play Vanilla? Not too long ago, there were three Blizzard options with Vanilla content - Era, SOD and Anniversary. Come February or so, Era will be the only Vanilla show in town.
The Era population tanked when TBC Classic came out.
Era should rise atleast pretty nicely when BC comes out. Once BC patches are over then It should get even bigger. I know I’m going to spend my time between both versions of the game aslong as we get BC era.

Well there will officially be only place to go for people who want to play vanilla. So I’d imagine the most likely scenario is population will increase. This will especially be so if Era transfers are available from anniversary, which I’d bet my level 60 tauren hunter, Shialabeef, on.
Well if a lot of people playing in Era want TBC more than vanilla then the Era population could end up decreasing. I really don’t think that’s the case. It was for 2019 Classic, but this time is a bit different because people who kept playing on Era and those who returned are investing time into characters they know will only ever be on vanilla.
So I’d agree with the implication of your question; that we should see Era’s population increase after Anniversary goes to TBC. But we won’t really know for sure until it happens.
I’m hoping for an increase.
I’m expecting a decrease until TBC ends/TBC loses the “New car smell”.
Because they made everyone pick between Era and TBC or pay like 40 bucks or something silly so everyone had to start over fresh so SW had like 15 clones and the rest of us were in the starting zone. Tooks us a few months to get back to raiding; as a result it was “dead” for a bit there if you were in a major city looking for people.
We got a massive population gain when Wrath got the Gold Token, was basically that same week all the sudden the servers were packed to the gills with new players.
