Hi 
I am considering a server transfer. The world I’m in now feels empty and old mats are never on the AH. Any advice on where to switch to? I would even consider a faction change if it helped. I’d like to have an AH with old mats, people leveling so they buy low level equipment, and find some groups who do rated pvp without it being a paid carry. Does this exist somewhere in this game?
Area 52 is pumpin
I’m assuming pumpkin is good? Never heard someone use that term to describe anything that isn’t a pumpkin lol, I guess maybe a granny to a small child.
Area 52 on horde has a huuuuge population. I’ve played on 9 servers and none compare

Thanks that’s great info from the two of you guys. I landed on this server back in wrath because my friends were on it but they’ve all left since then.

I ran into a full Oribos the last couple nights at like 3-4 a.m lol. My other server had no more than 2 people there
Moon Guard, Alliance has a very healthy auction house and home to multiple 2100+ players I think one warlock might be third highest in north America in 2s and at least one guild that focuses on rated PvP (Bad Call outs) your choice of course other servers like stormrage or area 52 are good too.
I see you are on Terokkar. My old, original Vanilla server, Alexstrasza, is connected to yours. Sadly you are right that the population is pretty empty. It’s why my old characters have been sitting on that realm for years. I have considered transferring them to another realm, but it hasn’t been worth spending the money for me to do that personally. I chose to make new characters on other realms. Blizzard really needs to continue with realm connections.
But Area52 is a good horde server, as others here have recommended. I have some characters on there and it has a huge population. Just keep that huge population in mind for expansion launches. When Shadowlands launched Area52 had long queues, like 3 plus hours nightly. Many people were on here complaining and upset. Lots of people transferred off. I didn’t complain or transfer because I knew the queues would be temporary and it’s to be expected on extremely high populated servers during expansion launches.
So Area52 is great, just keep that high population in mind and queues during expansion launches.
Another good realm is Dalaran. Dalaran has a high population and it’s more evenly balanced between horde and alliance. Area52 is more horde heavy.

There are disadvantages to being on a full server at patch and expansion launches.
