The server was fine and had a small(er) healthy population that would have been the size of a normal vanilla realm if not a little bigger. Off peak would have some issues finding pug raids in Phase 2 because…. phase 2 was awful compared to phase 1. It just didn’t have “it”.
There was massive drop offs in population in all realms, check the data.
Why do this? Why lock the server and essentially force people to move to CS where most of us rolled here cause we didn’t want to be there.
I implore you to look at very least unlock the realm. What happens to characters in other realm on different faction? What about character names?
What a bonehead move.
