I can confirm my server is booming in the low level areas still, it's great!
Black Monarch hey man how's it going? are you still feeling the same way?
I have a level 32 Alliance on TenStorms (EU PVP) and I can honestly say that all zones I ventured through were absolutely amazing with amazing people. The community on that server is top notch. There are very extremely rare moments that there are "Twitch fan boys" in the chat but that lasts for about 5 mins before they get bored (noone feeds the trolls). Even if it's a low realm (medium on peaks) it seems "full".
For those mature players who are looking for a mature server, I'd recommend TenStorms for EU PvP.
Unfortunately all my IRL friends rolled Skullflame EU PvP on Horde so I had to reroll, this server also has less twitch fan boys compared to bigger realms and no queue. Again on this server no zone has felt dead or filled with people who have no clue what they are doing. Everyone is helping and are friendly.
YOU on the other hand should quit this game and go back to retail.
I'm a very longtime veteran who could of easily been one of those rush to 60 poopsockers you speak of.
Have played on a handful of private servers I SHOULD of been one of those guys. Sure I was worried about being left behind. Now I'm just casually strolling along and enjoying every bit of it.
I can easily point out the retail tourist from the casual vet, sure. But it doesn't stop me from having a good time and completing something that's challenging.
Hope you stick around the game really opens up when you hit 60.
Still very excited with my adventure. I am 43 right now, just parked in Swamp of Sorrows to do a few quests there.
Soon enough i will be 50+ and have to think of my end game spec and where to play; current guild is formed out of vanilla mates (we redid the old guild) but it’s pretty inactive.
Also enhancement has grown on me a lot. Not sure how my 60 spec will be now.
Just passed the aoe/farm SM groups tier, cool! The AH is a bit iffy with all the 1-stack nonsense but i have my 40 mount. If i can get 2/300g before i get to 60 i will be satisfied. That epic mount’s not coming any time soon.
Lok’tar ogar!

Yeah I noticed that last night. There has to be some fuckery going on with addons right now because everything is being sold on auction as stacks of 1. I wish there was a way to click a bunch of things and then click buyout for a group, because right now it's like 100 clicks to buy like 30pcs of something. I needed a few levels of first aid last night so I tried to buy some cloth on the auction hall, but it took like 5 minutes buying every single piece of cloth individually.
What in the ever living fuck did I just subject my brain to?
I aprove Solveigs post here, amen my good man!

Meh it's long been a thing on retail for some mats, since at least Cata.
Well, the population problem has cleared up. Groups are running Dun Morogh much more frequently than when I posted this, and I've escorted a few groups through. I also tried questing in Desolace for a little while due to the fact that none of the sub-40 quests in Alterac Mountains or Arathi highlands give any rewards (and because, even combined, they just don't have enough quests), but Desolace is even worse than the Barrens. Desolace is like someone took Barrens, put a ring of mountains and high-level mobs around it, and then twisted it into a spiral shape, so that everything is technically closer together from a bird's-eye view but there's twice as much running. And of course nobody is there because it's just pure goddamn cancer.
Then I went to STV and holy crap, it's MUCH better. There's like a dozen quests at every level. It's so packed that it still has players competing for quest mobs and driving them into extinction. This was also the point at which I became EXTREMELY grateful to be on a PvE server, because the alliance outnumbered the horde here by at least 5 to 1. It's still not as social as the level 1-20 zones were, but it was a huge improvement over my Hillsbrad experience. At the very least, the zone chat was active enough for players to reveal that the reason why they didn't like forming groups of more than 3 people was the fear of diminished XP. I eventually got up to level 36, with every remaining quest in STV being 40+, at which point I headed back up to Arathi to do some long-overdue quests like "To Steal from Thieves".
Guild recruitment has slowed. We hit a peak of 90 members and are now down to 82. A lot of people got peeled away because they have real-life friends who are starting their own micro-guilds. New recruits are hard to come by because everyone who's a decent level has either already joined a guild or refuses to join one until they hit 60 (basically the same reason why the dating pool sucks at an exponentially increasing rate as you get older), and I have better things to do at this point than continue running noobs through the Agamand Family Crypts two weeks after all the serious players did it.
two weeks after all the serious players did it
It's stuff like this that gets people on your case..
The game is two and a half weeks old.
There's people that didn't even start in anticipation of queues and launch issues.
There's players that enjoy the game but cannot no-life leveling.
"Serious players?"
If you don't want to boost people don't, categorizing players as serious or not based on their leveling speed is a shitty attitude though.
The whole idea of additional content suggestions is very interesting but again, Classic is here as an authentic recreation and not as an experiment. Your ideas would have meaning if we were talking about new mmo.

Tirisfal Glades can be done in a single day, as soon as you get a day off of work.

Say what? I have proposed exactly 0 new content. Are you in the right thread?
