Even Blizzard has acknowledged that the lowest populated realms today are more crowded than the servers at launch back in 2004. But this is a good implementation of the original game. If you’ve played on private servers you know that things like pathing weren’t implemented very well. Classic is a joy to play.
But I find the game too crowded on Bloodsail Buccaneers. Simply too many people crammed into a limited space. I’m not sure this is going to get better over time on this server as it’s the sole US PvE RP server. I like the mindset of folks on RP servers, but I cringe thinking about what will happen when layering is removed (exploits notwithstanding).
I’ve been looking at population data found at wowpop_appspot_com
I’m wondering how accurate this information is, though it supports what I’ve experienced in game. If you think the population is fine, enjoy. But if you find the world a bit overpopulated, what do you suggest?
A. deal with it and hope for paid server transfers (and lower populated realms) at a later time.
B. cancel subscription and then come back in a few weeks to see how things played out.
C. re-roll on a lower populated PvE realm now.
