The one thing that would have brought me back to WoW was a BRAND NEW server with NO TRANSFERS! And guess what?

 

THEY RELEASED ONE!

 

GRIZZLY HILLS  <--- NEW SERVER!

 

I love how you all start at level 1 and you can meet new people, new guilds, ect! Come join the fun!

Yep.  I heard that Warhammer is selling servers really cheap.  Apparently they have a ton they no longer need.

I think I would definitely stick a fork in my eye before I made another character at level one, but thanks for the info!

Having a lot of fun leveling 70+ at the moment, but boy is it taking a long time and so over populated everywhere.

Yup, I'll be starting on Grizzly Hills today.  It gives people the opportunity to actually group with people around their level instead of joining a guild with all high levels with noone to group with.

ahh nice strategy by blizzard, rather than try and fill up all those LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW pop servers, they add another one. completely briliiant move on their part. why think of a strategy to fill up the current servers when they can just feed the masses a new one.

i wish they'd add a server to the wow where anyone who joins dies instantly, and advertise it with free legendary gear so everyone goes oh shit and joins then they all die and wow emplodes and everything wow related bursts into flames and satan rises out of its ashes and brings down death and destruction to our entire planet

Yea, I think a lot of players have little desire to start the grinding over again. Id pick up an old char before starting a new one

Wow, that is really good news to hear they added that new server. That will be really nice, especially for those just starting out. Hopefully it will give people more opportunities for groups and instances. 

Just a side note, I wouldn't mind seeing one of those "classic" servers www.level60love.com is trying to encourage go up. The classic server seems interesting, though I am very skeptical about it and how it would fair.  Also, I wonder too if there is enough people out of the total population to actually want such a server to play on. At this point, I guess we will never know.

Anyways, congrats to everyone on the new server and have fun!

The only servers with low population are pvp servers.  The new servers that are being opened are pve servers.  They have also allowed free transfers TO some of the low population pvp servers.

Funny you mention all those 'low' servers.  Last night, 75% of ALL servers had queues.  There were about 5 pve servers that weren't on a queue and a dozen or so pvp servers.

?? What I am confused , all the complaints on the wow forums are mostly related to server queue's & overcrowding servers  & your saying Low pop servers , I guess I live on a different planet than you ..
