I'm sure there will be more than just a few servers out there when classic releases. So any tips on choosing a server that will have a high pop? I want to get into a server that is high to full tbh that way it's more fun. Even with the current BFA crossrealm connections my server seems dead and I want no part of that.
Any server where a popular streamer goes will probably have a high population. Personally I would avoid such servers, though.

@blizzard can you implement penalties for repetitive low level kills, so hordes won't be able to have "fun" by ruining others' gameplay?

Or you could just not roll on a pvp server.

Being honest although I don’t mind rolling a pvp server I don’t do a whole lot of pvp. Just thinking more about economy, guild finding, more time choices for raids dungeons etc. if the server had a balanced alliance vs horde feel I’d be fine with it. Just want a high population.

Ugh, I didn't even think of this. Must avoid those servers.
I want them to name the servers after the original ones. I want to go back to Scarlet Crusade in the hopes that my friends who quit come back to Scarlet Crusade and I can reconnect with them.
I wouldn’t mind seeing more general/non faction names that way ppl would choose less based on faction names. I doubt it would help on server balance but just a thought.
I want the server names to be ridiculous word salad that is unrelated to WoW.

imo anything named after a fan favourite location, faction, or character (ie arthas, scarlet crusade, etc.)
If my memories of vanilla are correct higher pop servers tend to be a lot more toxic and attract a lot of edgy kids. I originally rolled on a high pop server and had a terrible time with the community, it almost made me quit before I decided to reroll on a medium pop server. Chances are, I'll be going for a medium pop server again this time.
On day one, they're all low pop servers.
So, there's that.

More people the merrier. :)
Honestly doubt there will be any medium or low population servers for a few months.
Its all luck of the draw. Unless you are willing to wait a month or two before starting just take a guess.
Difficult to say right now, but you will want to choose a server that is located close to you geographically. Blizzard maintains I think currently 2 or 3 server locations in the continental united states, for example, in LA, Chicago, and one other place IIRC. Or maybe it's just down to LA and Chicago now. But since we don't know anything about Classic servers yet, it's hard to say. They may all be located in LA, for example.
we should name one trump, one hillary, and one obama, that way we have a better understanding of people who choose each server and to what server they would want to be on :)

It's called DHK (dishonorable kill), and yes, if Blizzard is going for the authentic experience it will be implemented and prevent getting ganked most of the time. It doesn't prevent someone like 9 levels higher than you from having their way with you over and over, though.

I believe a DHK is recorded only when killing certain NPCs. Opposing players are always fair game.

DHKs have nothing to do with killing players. Only NPCs.
