There’s a recent blue post saying most Classic servers are down to 1-2 layers.
Makes me wonder how many players a single layer holds on their fancy new server tech.
ill give you hugs you sound like you need some.
This pissing contest between the two games is so stupid.
Irony Intensifies*

That still doesn’t give accurate data and prove one has more people then another.
Remember at this time as far as I know classic servers are still layered so it is like each server is actually multiple servers stacked into one and retail is just one layer.
Once layering is removed we might see a more accurate representation of both.
Retail is layered by default; layering is a retail system. Assuming realms in retail have one layer is a bad assumption.

its the cloeset we got.
the server still accounts for all the player on the server no matter how many layers.
layering isnt separate servers the server pop accounts for all players on the server.
SHarding /crz is not the same as layering.
Crz will show people from different servers in the same area as you .
Layering the people you see and some you don’t depending on the layer are all on the same server.
proof post from a dev?
Emerald Dream is not dead lolol
its just to show the retail is dead people its doing better then classic wow during non peak hours.
its not a pissing contest just proof.
People arguing over artificial sub numbers or server populations is stupid.
Better answer than anything OP gave thats for sure

It’s literally the same exact tech. You’re put on a layer with X amount of players, and you can only see/interact with said players. My server is far too large, at any point of the day, to not be layered. ZJ/Illidan/Tich/A52 and a few others are effectively multiple servers population in a single server. There are more cutting edge raid guilds on ZJ than total raiding guilds on a “healthy” regular server. And that’s just the tip of the population of the server. If you break it down by class it gets a little nutty.
There’s 1058 JUST PALADIN TANKS on ZJ active on raider IO. One class and spec. On average there is assumed to be around 30-40k active on this one server. It can be backed up from raiding/IO data.
If the server was not layered Dazar’alor would be an absolute madhouse and you’d never be able to do world quests.

It’s a shadow of what it used to be unfortunately. Don’t think dead is the right term but it’s not even close to as lively as it was before.
It’s been a shadow of what it used to be ever since the end of MoP and the start of WoD when all the trolls from servers like Bleeding Hollow xfered and ruined the community. But it’s far from dead.

thats just between them the post sint about sub numbers its about server pop.
Lol. Yes. Yes, It is.
No one knows and any census is going to be inaccurate. It’s a stupid debate when no one has hard numbers. The best we have is server population reflection via low, medium, high, or full. But that’s projection and still not actual numbers.
