my server is considered high pop by blizzard and it's often extremely dead. it's a flaw in their system to count all characters not just active ones. you should check out a server before blindly jumping into something.
I don't think one important thing changes with Virtual realms... world bosses. Which is quite important in this expansion.
You also need to look at guildox to see what guilds are still active. Of those 7 guilds on Karazhan,
1 xfrd off
2 quit in March
1 quit in May
2 killed a boss in June
and only 1 has killed a boss in the last month

Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven?
By the way, with this searching tool you never get more than 25 people.
Well you can't see China since that's Netease, but Korea and Taiwan basically died.

Maybe it has something to do with CRZ. It may be incorrectly increasing the realms population count. I have a couple toons on low pop servers which experienced a mass exodus in the last few months which show from Medium to High and there is no way that is the case. Based on AH alone, being able to scan everything in there in a few minutes (not a great indicator) never bodes well. On a truly High Server I have other toons on, it normally takes me 15-20 minutes to update, I do this at least once a week on Thursdays between 6-7 pm (right before weekend so I can make the most bang for the buck). So it could be a glitch.

Wow, that is crazy. Besides some of the normal things we experience here, was there some reason that such a mass exodus occured?
Because, unlike the rest of us, they didn't complain and agreed for such. If this were to happen in the US/EU, there would instantly be hundreds of hate threads about people not liking to rename char/guild.
And, isn't there something with those regions that their writing changes quite a bit depending on what region you are in? I don't know.

Veteran vanilla player - I was 31 back in 2005 when I started playing WoW - Nostalrius raider with a top raid guild.
Wow! I knew it was bad in Taiwan and Korea but not quite that bad.
Do you have any evidence to back up these claims? Why would Blizzard be bothered about "hundreds of hate threads" they have managed to ignore every single complaint about low and unbalanced populations for a number of years. From the what I have read the majority of people who are actually affected by low populations would willingly give up their names if it meant being able to play the game with others as intended.

I do not believe that Asia was ever the target audience of MOP it makes no sense to spend time and money developing an expansion that is solely geared towards consumers that Blizzard receive roughly eight times less in income from. To put it in perspective if US/EU WOW lost 500k players they would have to attract 4 million Chinese players to cover the loss in income and this is assuming that contract they have with Netease is not for a flat royalty payment.

I know not everyone wants to do a 25 man but it's hard to believe that a entire server does not want to do so. If a server does not have a single 25 man guild on it, I would assume there is a serious population problem on that server. At this point in time using the metric of having a single guild on a server kill a single boss, your looking at over 25 percent North American servers not being able to reach that. Those servers should be shut down imo and those people playing on them a free server transfer to there choice.
No one has proof if they would be bothered by hate or not. And no, I really can't be bothered going through all the blue threads to just find that one. But it's been explained before, that merging wasn't the right solution. That is how Cross-Realm-Zones were formed first, and then they proceeded to develop Virtual Realms. (Which I myself, find to be a good solution. All can keep their names, and be among the crowd. Though, none of us know what servers will be VR'd together until a FAQ is released).

Well, seen some High populated servers that has tons of 10 mans, but like, max 2 25mans. I think it's because it takes more planning and management to actually get 24 other people to appear the same day/time.
In the end, 10man has just become more popular than 25 mans, lately.

I did a /who Ironforge and it said 9 people found, and when i count them i get tired and stop at 89 but probably over 120 easy so it don´t seem to show everyone
Not sure how to say this.. But if you do a /Who its shows Max 49 players.
if it shows 20 on Horde side = 20 online from that server.. but blizzard made alot of X-realm Zones. where players from diffents realms would be in and the server can therefor go from Low to medium
If you do the /who it only shows players from your Server and not the others there might be in your Zone..
How ever this still makes /2 and AH DEAD.. as the players from other servers can´t use your /2 or AH.
you never see 20 Green Leaf tea 25gold Name - (Outland H) on lets say Stormreaver AH.
