Thinking of transferring from a dying realm

Alliance here. Looking for a friendly higher pop realm to transfer to. I’m hardcore casual, meaning that I play a lot, but no longer raid or do many dungeons. I’ve been on the same realm group since I started, so don’t really know other servers.

So, my questions are: What are the queues like in general, at new content patches, at new expansions?

What is the Alliance/Horde ratio?

What is your AH like? Xmogs? Mats (old and new)? Current gear and consumables? Is it higher or lower than average? If I was looking for something hard to find would I be able to find it here?

Was this originally PVE or PVP realm?

If I turned on trade chat, would I be bombarded with anal spam/politics? Yes I know I could put a character on here and watch, but this isn’t peak time right now and I have plans for later today and tmr.

Are there any casual/social guilds that low level raid?

Any boosting guilds if I wanted an AOTC boost?

Is Sargeras famous/infamous for anything?

Anything else that you would want me to know about the server?

Ok, I’ll give it a crack.
Sargeras is heavily Alliance weighted. The last vestiges of Horde are mostly in a guild called [Still on Sargeras]

Server population is large enough that the AH is well stocked with most goods. Prices for consumables and trade goods are generally slightly lower than other servers.

Sargeras is OG PVP realm, and that history is baked into its warmode and rated PVP participants.

Trade chat is trade chat everywhere you go. boosting services from guilds are pervasive.

There are many guilds, of differing focus. My guild [Animosity] focuses on Mythic+ dungeons and AOTC Heroic raiding.

Being one of the OG PVP realms, the Sargeras realm historically had a PVP focused playerset. There are still guilds around that maintain their PVP focus with Arenas and Rated PVP. Warmode and sharding took away the significant difference for outdoor PVP content.

There are boosting guilds, but you can get that service crossrealm also.

My guild recently did a guild-transfer to Sargeras after doing our homework. This seems like a good spot to park ourselves for the foreseeable future. Low population realms are fizzling out as long-term players eventually migrate to consolidated high-pop servers.
