Hello,
Recently I’ve been considering faction changing my set of horde characters to Alliance to try and see things from a slightly different side in DF. I know everything is pretty much identical now but still want to get the feeling of the “other side”
Onto the topic… I’ve logged into several of the what I thought to be most populated alliance realms like
- Proudmore
- Sargeras
- Stormrage
Proudmore and Sargeras feel like ghost towns stormrage isn’t that much better. There’s maybe 7 people in SW and hardly any chatter/banter going on in trade. I watched YouTube for a min and glanced at wow every 5-10 min after about 30 min the only message was someone selling boosting in General.
I logged into Moon Gaurd and it feels more active there. People engaging with each other banter in trade, stuff going on… but 80% is RPish stuff…
Tl dr I’m looking for a new home to faction change from horde to alliance but everywhere feels dead alliance side.
Im sure some of you will point out that most folks are on classic right now. To that is there any hope for some servers that will start poppin once DF comes out? The emptiness is killing the excitement of logging on for me

If you weren’t satisfied with Stormrage I’m not sure what to tell you, as I believe that’s the most populated US alliance server. Although I’ll say in my experience it tends to be more active than what you have described.

I was going to say Moon Guard, but you’d already tried here 
If you’re not looking to find a CE guild it’s not bad. Takes more time to find a PvE group, but there are a lot of PvP oriented players.

Don’t forget instances can screw you over. Try again some other time. Stormrage is much more populated than it looks.
If you want PvP, there’s Kel-Thuzad, Tichondrius and Sargeras

I don’t recommend anyone come to MG. Too many WRA refugees as it is, screwing up the server vibe.
Try a streamer server or something. Tichondrius.

Come to Ravencrest. It’s between expansions right now so everywhere is quiet but the AH in Stormwind’s main square is pretty busy. During the season the square is jammed.
How would you suggest I describe my reaction to going to what feels like empty servers? I’m sorry my idea didn’t come across to you as you liked. I’ll rethink my approach to sentence structure next time so I won’t be told what I’m full of when asking for help finding a place to play a game.
Most tend to hang out in the Captital of the new areas so check out Oribos bet youll see more there. Also depends on time of day or whats going on. Tonight is start of MNF so people might be off watching that if that their thing plus mondays are kinda back to the work grind so maybe less people on than say a day closer to the weekend.
Thanks everyone for chiming in! It’s nice to see a lot of recommendations here
What time zone are you in? I’m on Proudmoore and often turn off trade chat in Oribos as it’s so busy/cluttered. But I’m Pacific time and it’s busy in the late afternoon to late evening… not so much during the earlier part of the day.
Frostmourne is Oceanic I think so unless you live in AUS or NZ you’ll probably get a very high ping (although it is high-pop Alliance dominated). I’m guessing this population ranking is out of date or that Frostmoune is now merged with Jubei’thos.
I’m PST as well. I was on Proudmore around 9pm last night, maybe I’m getting phased in to an instance for new players or something? I just made a lvl 1 human and ran to SW.
do you have warmode on or off? Because warmode on or off plays a factor into who you can see.
Illidan,Tich,KT and Sarg. And the guy saying Frostmourne, yea used to be one of the best 10+ years ago but wouldn’t include it on the list now.
Oh edit. Sorry Illidan on that list. It is good for PvP but now 99.9% Horde dominated. But some Allys are moving back and with WM and CRZ on you can still get some good Ally PvP on Illidan now. Uphill battle but still doable.

Oribos probably has higher pop than SW. I never go to SW these days. Warmode makes a difference too. Warmode on shards tend to be less populated than warmode off ones.
I would love to to be unfortunately my latency would be bad.
