Same. Sulfuras was an amazing server in Vanilla Classic. I will never forget that event.
Stop buying into the transfer ponzi scheme you lemming!
Same people probably.
Having played on many, many servers back in the day and dabbling around on multiple now I think you’re overstating the player mindset differences, plus there’s no guarantee trend lines will continue.
But I see your point that it feels like Sulfuras has fallen a long way and may well not survive the whole WOTLK cycle if the bleeding goes on. So I would agree that whatever server solution Blizz comes up with needs to address emerging issues and not just the long-burning fires.
For the smaller small/mid servers the trendline may vary (though Myzrael in particular is way off Jan 22 numbers), but there was less certainly a lot less starting cushion to survive the losses.
Could a 1500 pop server survive and be viable? Potentially, if it can stop the bleeding. Myzrael is…kinda past the point of no return.

LOL. Why y’all acting like SL event was great? So, the entire horde side griefing alliance side SLs was okay? “Casualties of war against Grizzly her dur.” Then y’all wonder why alliance left. Add transfers it was only a matter of time.
Yeah horde is mostly to blame for the death of the server. I remember launch night I wasn’t even questing, we were holding down honors hold so that no alliance could leave. It was like this for weeks, and even two months later alliance were lucky to be able to quest for 5 minutes without someone swooping down to gank them.
Yeah, as a former Sulfuras alliance character, the horde made the world basically unplayable.
It wasn’t surprising at all that no one stayed around for that abuse.

I should probably clarify - I don’t think Blizzard has shown any interest in actually solving their server problems, much less demonstrated that they have the finesse to work through a nuanced problem. Consolidating servers that are all but dead (and replacing them with an unknown number of ‘fresh servers’) is hardly an impressive maneuver.
So am I expecting they’ll step up? No, not really. Am I disappointed they seem content to just ride out the money train with the least amount of effort possible even if it tarnishes a lot of fans’ experience of a pillar of what made “Blizzard”? Yes.
But hey, one never knows.
