North American population is about 2.5 million, Europe 2, Asia 5.5, about 6 months ago. Can't really say 10 million when you're talking about the majority of the players here that play. it is only 2+ million in their regions basically. Still a good number, but with so many servers and everyone in the new area and high level almost, of course you will see lack of people early on, except for alts or few new people.

I haven't played since before TBC, but from my experience, when expansions take you away from the old world with no incentive to go back, it kills the old content.

As for the  "WoW is dead" Oracles,  10 million strong subs?

i have been working out, how'd you know?! but there's only one of me

Try playing at a time other than 5am in the morning.   Transfer to a higher pop realm or recommended server.  Also are you sure you're not actually inside a ghost town, like outside Karazhan?  Because the realms I play on are always packed.

Also - lol at the guy who said WoW was dead.

He's a new poster just trying to troll and of course succeding. Hence his BIG ugly GREEN postings.

I already said that the leveling areas on my 2 servers are far more FULL than 2 years ago.

And it even can be proven. Take the stats of two years ago (warcraftrealms.com) and the Wow population was at 75 %  of present day populations ... and only a few TBC servers were created since that period.

I was surprised how much comptetion I had when leveling a new character these days. Far more than 2 years ago. On prime time you have sometimes MORE players than NPC's in certain areas.

Take the pre-dead mines quest. No need to group. people are just standing in the village in line to accompany the "traitor" to the dead mines.

SV; Tanaris all heavy on questing people and MORE than I ever saw in these last 2 years.

The man is trying to negate what XFire just proves: Wow = 1050 weeks the number one being played and with a daily 6.200.000 characters being played in US°EU it is about 550 to 600K more than the summer of 2007 - with only one server added the last month in EU.

these are facts not some green trolling text in a Wow forum full of hate towards the game.

 

First off, I am not a troll. Secondly, I don't give a steamy bowl of dung how many people actually do or don't play WoW. Third and of the most importance to me, I reported what I saw when I reactivate my account and ran around the old high traffic areas on MY server (Barrens Terran Mill, Hammerfall, Winterspring, Black Rock, Stranglethorn ), on HORDE side and that sir is 100% fact, I know, because I was there.

Hate WoW? WTF exactly is wrong with you? I stated (more than once)that I put the game back on my machine (first time in 3 years) have been playing, and just added TBC to my account.

I quit playing WoW in the summer of 05', yesterday I reactivated my old account and started playing around with my mid level toons. The old areas were a ghost town...I mean I saw tumbleweeds at one point. Is everyone 70 in this game now?

You mean things change? WOW!

this entire thread is a joke right? if you're playing a 3 year old server obviously ppl will mostly be 70, dont be an idiot, start on a "new" or "reccomended" server, that's where you'll see the masses of people youve grown to love pre-bc
