It’s still by far the best Classic server. True, there are only about 1000 raiders on each faction (compared to the 6.5k of Faerlina or the 7k of Pagle) but it’s more than enough to play and have a good time. People make it sound like it’s so far behind, when it’s really not. 2k players versus 6.5k players isn’t some insane difference. Cata, as a whole, wasn’t played very much. Grobbulus is fine. And, it’s growing ahead of MoP’s release. When I did a full scan of Auctionator in May it was 6200 auctions. Today it was 7800 auctions - about a 20% resurgence.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

That could be explained by people offloading their cata mats before MOP launch, while I am not saying people are not coming back to grobb, 2k players does make some what of a difference depending on what you are looking for in the game.

Only server which you’ll be able to fight others in the world, out of all the other classic servers, when it releases. Fighting on the wall, in the valley, Timeless Isle, we will have it all.

Blizz could also just consolidate some servers 
please dont listen to people who say grobb is dead
it definitely isn’t as insane as bene or the other mega servers, but it is FAR from dead
stormwind and org are full of people
lfg is buzzing
and best of all, there is actual wpvp. in the last few days there have been both horde and alliance guild raids slamming into major cities and its been super fun.
things might start to wind down a little bit late late at night like 4am-8am, but the server is very far from dead and is honestly the last real pvp server to exist

People have a frankly warped expectation for activity. In 2006, a server with 2500-3000 active players would’ve been considered straight up high population. I’ve played private servers that are absolutely hopping with 2200 people logged in. But now that retail has realms with 110,000 people on them, this is apparently the new threshold for “active”. It’s wild.
I don’t want 25,000 people on Grob and 8 layers, thanks. I’d love for Grobb to stay under 5000 people as long as they’re active and enjoy both RP and World PvP.
I’m Alliance, so I can’t speak for the Horde, but Stormwind is PACKED in the evenings. I’ve had no issues finding groups for PuG raids or non-rated BGs. When I go out into the world I frequently encounter people on both factions and my world PvP experiences have been great.
The only other server I have characters on is Horde Faerlina and it’s absolutely terrible. Sure it has 6500 players, but it’s a toxic cesspool of a community. Most LFG and Trade is in Spanish or Portugese now, boosts and RMTers are everywhere, there’s no World PvP because the Alliance has 15 players on it. Even though I can find raids a bit easier, I certainly don’t enjoy the people in them.
I wouldn’t trade Grobb’s 2500 players for Faerlina’s 6500 players EVER.

Coming back to Classic after a long WoW break, and wouldn’t even consider anywhere but Grob.
As for the lower pop, let’s not forget this was the pet battle expansion. It’ll be impossible to get your minfernal anywhere else. 
Yeah you really don’t need thousands upon thousands of people on a server for it to be alive. WPvP is certainly affected the most, but peak areas will still have more than enough if the factions are balanced(ish).
i honestly think the perception of grobb being “dead” is people looking at ironforge.pro and seeing lower numbers for raids logged
of course there will be lower raids on a server people are rolling on to pvp, every pvper i know wants to pvp not raid primarily, that’s why we all have been dying for mop to come in and give us the 100% pvp gear bis gearing experience.
even so, grobb is still just a bit behind whitemane in raids logged.
plus, the best wpvp the game has ever seen in my opinion is coming with timeless isle and i wouldn’t want to be on any other server for it personally

In 2006 there were about 100 servers in NA and roughly 1.5 million subscribers in NA. That means the average server had 15,000 active subscribers in NA during the final year of original Vanilla.
Please do roll Grobb guys! Its the only faction balanced server right now
Grobb is a super dead server…
So if you want to play where you wont see anyone and will be left alone… then yeah man Grobb is for you!

Whats wrong with a Goblin DK?
That have no mobility and the rocket jump is critical for movement purposes.
Yes Mr Trump, back to grobb where you belong buddy
back to the biggest and best and most beautiful server in all of classic wow that all of the wow playerbase has ever seen
let me tell you folks we’ve got it all, they ask me, how is it that grobbulus is the best server out there? the best place to live in all of azeroth?
it’s because we’ve got jobs for the alliance, we’ve got jobs for the horde, we’ve got jobs for the rpers and the arena players, the random AND rated rbg player, and yes folks we even have jobs for the raiders.
and how did this happen? it’s because we have the most beautiful and diverse and patriotic server that this world has ever seen ever, period. and all of you are part of all the beautiful progress we’ve made for the good of pvp and classic wow as a whole.
and every single day we wake up we are gonna look at ourselves in the mirror and we’re gonna tell ourselves YES we want world pvp, YES we want balanced factions, YES we want the best community this game can offer, and we are gonna go to the server list and vote YES on grobbulus for MISTS OF PANDARIA!!!

just saying i was on whitemane leveling up my 4th priest tring to find people for coc at 1145 pm and i saw a aliance druid i was like omg there not just infesting dalran where did this druid come from then i saw it tri to solo the first gie in coc and die
I see lots of players on the horde side too and the server is fairly calm.
I play horde and don’t encounter many toxic people (Just occasionally)
Public chat channels are fairly tame (which is good)
COME JOIN GROBBULUS FOR YOUR MOP EXPERIENCE!!
