Every Server Is Low Pop?

[Healonly-benediction]

What’s up with every server being low-pop, but I’m unable to transfer (paid) to some servers?

It would help immensely if you told if you’re trying in Era, HC, Cata or even Retail

Era servers. Every server says low pop.

That’s because they’re clustered (not merges, but almost the same ). This means that ecxept for the RP server, you play on a server, but can group up with, guild with and so on people from other servers in the same cluster. It’s a bit confusing - and as I’m EU based, I do not remember the names well. I think Mankrik and Whitemane are the two realm clusters with the largest population.

Look here for the clusters:

Classic Era Transfer Destinations for Lost Hardcore Characters

No one wants to become a ghost, but for those who wish to consider that eventuality, some end-of-life planning is in order. Death is not the end Oops, your hardcore character died. Now what? Your best option is to move the character to a Classic Era realm, where you can resurrect and continue playing the character, should you ever wish to. Choosing a destination Most Classic Era realms are connected. That means that if you transfer the character to one of them, you’ll put yourself into a cl…

Hope this helps.

yea whitemane feels pretty good atm, duskwood had 38 players (6 60s, tbf) in it about an hour ago. stormwind is pretty populated and ironforge usually has 40-50 people in it as well.

starting zones seem to be about 5-10 people each when i looked, no idea about higher level zones though as im only level 25 atm. from westfall/duskwood i ran into probably 50-60 different players in 45 minutes, its not overly populated but def a decent amount of people playing from what i can tell

Moist definitely not dead.

[Psychachi-mankrik]

Mankrik cluster. PvP realms always have a bit more “pop” to them for obvious reasons.

[Cezar-kurinnaxx]

You should come to the WM cluster, its BiS.

[Expiredate-whitemane]

The topic is literally under, “classix general” why would it be about Cata or Retail lol

[Vanillataur-garrosh]

Because so many post about whatever in this Forum, they only see the “general” part. So better safe than sorry
