Still no proof whatsoever, you are just throwing out numbers at this point.
However, I can look at the realm selection and easily see every single realm at low pop. Yup, that definitely looks healthy.
Proof??? The numbers speak for themselves. The 125k weekly logs during the least popular raid tier of a mediocre expansion.
It’s literally like I’m talking to a wall. Do you actually read anything before you respond? The only reason SoD has bigger realms is because most of the individual realms were dead and everyone got merged to mega servers in P5.
Look at the faction splits, I play on Mankrik-NA PvE and Horde has as many players as either faction on Crusader Strike. PvP and Dungeons are cross-realm, so the only thing you can’t do is world PvP… which clearly nobody cares about.
This is all at the very end of an expansion that wasn’t super popular or hyped to begin with. Mists of Pandaria is going to be huge and it’s going to hold a much bigger population for longer because it’s one of the most popular expansions. Especially for raiding and PvP.
What numbers? I can make up numbers too if you like.
And you think if Cata was healthy it would have at least one…one single server that was medium pop or higher. Classic was DoA after WolK.
And you say I am the one coping…lol.
Just checked wcl cata has more raiders than sod. Sod has an avg of 77k per week for this phase cata had an avg of 90k per week for their phase.
This is beyond idiotic lmao. You know what numbers I’m talking about, you have referenced them. Cataclysm has more players than SoD, it always has. To argue that would be lying.
You don’t understand context whatsoever, you just keep reaching to try to make a point that isn’t there. SoD servers were unplayably dead for months, they had to merge everyone to a couple realms.
Yeah, no crap the realms would have more players when they are combined. I remember playing on my old server in P3 and couldn’t find a single group for Deadmines on the weekend. This went on for months.
Cataclysm doesn’t have mega servers because they didn’t need them. 7-12k players is not “low pop” when everyone is the SAME FACTION. You have the same amount of people to play with, if not way more because everything but raiding is cross-realm.

Cata hasn’t dipped below 110-20k raiders in a very long time.
You’re correct I see 120 cata 90 Anni 77sod. I mistook Anni numbers for cata MB

It’s very obvious this has been a business shareholder decision not community based to rush content
It’s not longer, the phase is ending. I’m not talking about the raid, I’m talking about the phase. Please do not continue this argument if it’s just gonna be “you can still do the raid next phase”
I would say 12 weeks is the sweet spot for raid content. 8 is too short, and 14 drags a bit… but 10-12 feels about right. At 8 weeks it makes our naxx gear and earnings feel useless even more than they already do because we will be farming a new tier right away… this isnt retail guys, dont rush things.
The beauty of classic is that your gear and rewards actually last… do not make sod mimic retail’s terrible design of replacing gear every few weeks… makes it feel like our rewards truly dont matter in the game

The content pacing will now be slowed.
…because this is the final Phase.
Yeah, players I talk to in-game are waiting for P8. It’s always a far cry from forums 
Prog never started for more than half the guilds out there. They all went in with 20+ people. Lol.
I didnt feel like there was much time to actually use the gear we got, and many don’t have it yet.
