So is WOTLK just empty servers now?

Haven’t played in awhile. Last couple of days I have logged onto Azuresong and the world looks dead. Went to Thunderforge for my presents yesterday evening and I saw 1 other player. Today running around Dalaran I see 2 people. Tradechat is dead as well.

Is WOTLK over?

Depends on server. Yours probably has free transfers to another realm, if it’s that dead.

Westfall is still popping off with no layers active.

Azuresong has been has had free transfers off a few times. Its a low pop server now. I played there all throughout classic launch and tbc then around ulduar is seemed to drop like a ton of bricks. Most people have moved to old blanchy or atiesh from there.

People told others that were “doomers” but in certain leveling brackets there’s literally 2-3 tanks across all the realms for RDF… it’s the same names I’m getting…

You can thank Blizz for making boosts unlimited. The Classic playerbase can’t be bothered to level and just buy premade 80s, so not many leveling.

Everyone is playing SoD instead. Wrath just isn’t as fun nor interesting.

If you think WoTLK servers are dead… try any PTR server… Last count, less than 8 players. Also, just wanted to point out while checking the realm status list… Blizzard has moved: WoW, Wow Classic and WoW WoTLk tabs farther to the left on the list… I suspect they are getting ready to intro Cata server list as a separate tab.

we tried to tell you… but wrath babies wouldn’t listen.

It won’t be separate; it’ll take the place of Wrath.

IDK… seems to me that by moving those tabs over seems to indicate that WoTLK would get their own server.

It’s not. But towards the end of every phase (since like Classic’s release), servers do quiet down. People mostly raidlog. Older expansions have less content than Retail.

+SoD hype.

Those are dead servers,
Looks like there aren’t even enough logs to count the population estimate.

Pretty sure they can’t put Wotlk and Cata into the same client, they never did that (SOD use Era infrastucture before you mention “but sod”). Both games (wotlk and cata) have different infrastructure and would require tons of work to make both compatible with each others into the same client.

Wrath better get ERA servers… Then get us TBC back… To be damned the argument of splitting the community. We’re already split because of tokens and other BS.

It is nothing worse than what will come in Cataclysm classic, and the worst thing is to endure to have MoP and Legion Classic (which we have to endure WoD Classic more) or that the time of the Classic servers dies due to this expansion and its stupid decisions of blizzard.

And the worst thing is that Blizzard is not making it attractive for the expansion of Cataclysm in the case of bringing new things or content removed in retail, so you will not see a change and it will only make us move further away in the classic servers except the SoD and HC classic.

A lot of people have left, even if you think you see people playing, you can easily check that raids are less frequently, dalaran is not lagging anymore, and RDF is taking a eternity, i cant believe this, WOTLK was a toxic relationship ? i think so

My RDF queues have been about 5-10 mins as DPS for gammas. During leveling it’s around 2 mins at peak time and around 15-20mins at non peak times and various levels. Server I was on just yesterday had multiple raids going on at all times.

I almost never run rdf at peak hours as I raid during that time so it seems like there are a lot still playing unless that’s just me but since rdf looks for anyone, I think it’s not but I could be wrong.

Your specific server is probably too low pop since everyone migrates to mega servers.

The wrath servers lost I think 1/4 of the pop after 11/3. Won’t be back to normal numbers until legion classic. There were some people who want to twink at 80 but the post was flagged by wrath haters and taken down.

Mine isn’t dead. Guilds are constantly recruiting. But I am not playing wrath classic currently. And haven’t been playing since blizzard announced that there aren’t any plans to keep permanent wrath classic servers up and going atm.

So I just have no real motivation to play. I was hoping I could experience wrath classic forever until I was dead at the very least. And now I might not be able to. Makes me wish I never played world of warcraft to begin with.

My guild took a break for the holidays. I’m sure others did as well. Ruby Sanctum opens this month, so I’m sure people will come back.

My man, how many hours do you spend in a day on these forums trash talking wrath? get a hobby
