The Fundamental Flaws with the "Balanced Servers" Argument

Are they? Have you actually checked? On your server is EVERY flight path, EVERY instance, and EVERY grind spot occupied 24/7 by Horde gank groups of 30+?

I don’t care about 24/7, I care about ‘normal’ prime play time. You know, when normal people with jobs and families can actually sit down to play. You may be a basement dwelling 24/7 player, I am not. When I play, yes, you cannot fly anywhere contested without being killed and camped.

How you can argue against the fact that servers are now more populated after Blizzard stated as much…I can’t help you accept reality, sorry, not licensed in psych med.

How population labels work now

This system now measures each realm against a realm’s absolute capacity. Medium indicates a healthy total population on a realm – well in excess of what we considered Full in a 2006 – with room for more players to log-in. You’ll now see a High label if the realm is close to having a queue, and a Full label if the realm currently has a queue.

Medium indicates WELL IN EXCESS OF WHAT WE CONSIDERED FULL IN 2006!! That alone should do it, but I’m not dealing with a reasonable person here I see, so the next day, Blue says…

@Kaivax

With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all.

How can you now tell me or anyone else that current populations are not higher than vanilla?

Edit: I feel I need to explain to you that medium exists below both high and full…so imagine what a full server pop today is compared to ‘full’ in 2006.
