I've been playing WoW since launch, and over the years, there have been droughts, and low population times in between expansions, but right now it seems pretty bad from my little sample size.
I play on two different full population servers, Zul'Jin and Daralan, and have both Horde and Alliance characters on both servers, and I am in four very large Guilds. Horde and Alliance Guild's on each server.
- First off both BfA Faction cities on each server I'm on, lately seem very less populated, like extremely quiet the past month.
- And the Guild's I am in. At BfA launch all four Guilds were packed with players, always like 30+ players on a weeknight, everyday. Lately only 1 or 2 players, or just me. And I've been in all these Guilds since Legion, and even during Legion's slow times, there were at least a dozen or so people on usually. But now these Guild's feel like ghost towns. Which is strange as I've been in them for 3+ years, and they've always had a healthy player base on.
- When does 8.2 come out? Seems this game needs an injection to get players back A.S.A.P.
