Good Horde server?

[xezar]

Apologies if this isn't the right place, but none of the other areas seemed correct either, so figured this would be a general sort of thing.

Anyways with the free 90 boost, I want to reroll as horde. However, I'm not sure which server would be the best to roll on? Some of the things I'm looking for:

PvE server (only), no RP

Not virtually "merged" with another server or whatever they call it

Horde bias, large or small it doesn't matter, but preferably horde dominant to a degree

Large active population, but not so large that it incurs queue times. Kinda like Lightbringer I guess for alliance, it has what, 100k-130k alliance I think, but I've never hit queue times to play on it. It doesn't have to be that large, but still, something 80k+ preferred. Friendly population would be a plus, or at least not super degenerate

If anyone has some ideas of servers that would fit these characteristics, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Uh....last I checked, Mal'ganis was pretty good (Horde side, at least), but I haven't played since about June/July last year.

illidian is a fun horde server

US, I take it?

Thrall is a well populated Horde server that doesnt have any quetimes and Hyjal is another good Horde server.

Area 52 is one the highest populated horde centric PvE servers. http://wow.realmpop.com/us.html would probably be helpful as far as raw data goes, but you should roll an alt first and try to get a sense of the general vibe of the community on each prospective server and ask around in regards to queue times.

Bleh knew I forgot to mention something, meant US ones lol. Americas. Also time zone neutral as to whatever it is, I live in AZ so I have to adjust to everyone regardless, and I do night raiding anyways. So along those lines, a server with decent progression would be nice, nothing backwater, but with some competent players, doesn't have to have top x guilds or stuff, but some good ones.

^This. But all my alts are mainly on Illidan.. Both are good servers. Illidan can have some crazy queue times sometimes though, gotta be careful. But Thrall is a decently populated server with excellent folks and all that and I haven't seen any queues!

Thanks for the recommendations so far. Area 52 and Illidan I think look a bit too populated for me lol. Thrall and Hyjal look pretty decent, think ill make a toon there to check it out.

Looking at that wow realm pop site, any recommendations for zul'jin? It's about the only other PvE one with the characteristics I'm looking for.

I play on Zul'jin.....Horde. Timeless Isle is usually pretty busy, AH seems decent enough, Lots of Flex and Normal groups in trade chat. I haven't yet hit a queue to log in.
