I noticed quite a number of people in Stormwind on Whitemane Classic ERA yesterday. The AH area was quite busy. The area not the AH itself. I stopped in for Halloween treats on my characters as I’m waiting for SOM transfers to begin.

with the free xfers, it would be nice to see the actual faction populations or average ratios from blizzard to help make a decision.

The Classic Era realms were conntected by timezone & server type, commonly referred to as ‘clusters’. The realms within a given cluster are effectively merged: players can fully trade/guild/raid/etc with others within their own cluster. RP realms were exempted from these connections. Below is a portion of a Blue post detailing realm connections for the 5 North American clusters and the 1 Oceanic [server type/timezone added]:

Additionally there are free transfers available to the pve east realm on Mankrik and pvp west realm of Whitemane.

Most guilds have their own Discord for organizing end game raids. Some active Alliance guilds on US East Coast cluster (Ashkandi, Mankrik, Pagle, Westfall, and Windseeker) currently include: Encore, The Unyielding, The Misfits, Phoenix Rising and C ERA. Of course, you can talk to players in-game, who were pretty friendly, IMO.

Yeh, I did, it was kind of sad when I checked /who 1-60 on all my local clusters with returns of 6 players at max :confused:

THanks, I’ll try visit, i think I’ll put up with the higher ping for a better overall experience
:smiley:

last I checked Classic era servers had 41 servers up. At this point if they consolidate them down to like 5 there would be enough people to play regularly with. I got on the other day my guild had 886 people in it with 2 online (one being me).
