The HS discord is covered with new people, zones have more Horde pop, and cities are finally returning 50+ players in them.
I’ve seen the new guilds already recruiting and in zones. Showtime moved to HS which is an absolutely awesome addition and huge guild.
The results [of the census] aren’t very reliable, but have been constant over the last three weeks and have already had an increase.
Interestingly, you mentioned that this irritated Ally players, but the Ally in HS discord were cheering about it when it was implemented.
According to new guilds on HS there is already a queue for the transfer to go through as well, while there wasn’t at first.
This is all while the Layered servers weren’t reduced to a single layer yet. Once they are if queue times are outrageous we may see even more.
