Servers with such a low population that they can no longer fill one raid per lockout

At one point, back in vanilla classic, Incendius was so populated that there was a 3+ hour login queue daily. Now, look how things have changed. We are currently the last guild raiding phase 2 content on Incendius, and the server no longer has enough players to fill one raid group per week. From demographic data, it appears that Stalagg and Smolderweb are in the same type of situation. Anathema, Felstriker, Kurinnaxx, and Arcanite Reaper are rapidly approaching this point too. Small minority factions on larger servers could be facing the same problem as well.

So to Blizzard, will you take action or at a minimum - address this as an issue? Of course we could pay for each of our characters to be transferred to a populated realm, but why should we have to pay you an added fee for the actions of other players (that decided to transfer off) and your inaction/lack of oversight to more closely manage our server’s population?

I understand that we are now only a small percentage of your subscriber base for TBC, but we’re still paying customers. Though the way things are going, it’s hard to say that we will be in the near future.

I think it would make sense for them to just squish all of those small servers together.

I have a feeling they’re doing that today. Im an optimistic person tho.

I too am here… wishfully thinking that I will see announcement of server connections or something - Arcanite Reaper can’t fill a raid group either :frowning:

I think they would give the people affected some advance notice for something like that.

Problem is some people like those very unpopulated servers. There are also people that like playing on a high ratio one faction to another server.

I picked whitemane alliance specifically because it was high population and had what looked like a 3:1 horde to alliance ratio. More chance to get some clutch wpvp in.

No Kurinnaxx no longer has that last remaining rading guild. We took our ball and went to to another server not named whitemane.
