I visited my old server yesterday after a long while - and I was one of three people in Org. THREE PEOPLE IN ORG! And they were from other servers. I flew around and found no one. I started singing "All By Myself...."

I say we find a 50/50 mix or horde heavy and go Horde for a BFP guild.

That or go to the server I'm on, where it's Alliance heavy but has a decent Horde group. Org is regularly busy during AMER hours.

On the plus side, I finally got my Taoren weapon so I could put the legendary gem on it that I had earned earlier. I'm thinking of getting one more epic item for my gear (trinket)

There is a site that can give info on server population.

Should give a good idea of horde vs alliance population

I'm waiting on the new patch before I start grinding for new gear.
I started a new DK (horde of course) and I've been busy working on her blacksmithing skill. Sucks for a DK profession-wise.

The question would be how much PvP we'd want to do versus PVE. The one disadvantage of highly populated 90 realms is that they tend to have those that complain about your ability rather than the fun of it all.

This shows the breakdown better: http://wow.realmpop.com/us.html

I moved from a (high level) PvP server to PvE because I found I enjoyed PvE much better. I'm "ok" at PvP but I admit I am not that great at it. I do it to grind for honor/justice. I can't stand going into a BG and subjecting myself to idiots complaining and name calling because GOD FORBID someone dies or drops a flag. (With that being said, I HATE WARSONG GULCH). I play for fun, some of these people seriously need lives and/or some type of therapy - talk about anger issues. No one seems to have any patience for the noobs.

Also - PvP realms means you are subject to constant (i can't think of the word) - death by high level toons, just 'cause they can.
I wasn't able to quest or farm without having some high level toon gank (there you go) my ass even though I was at least 20 levels lower. I dreaded the contested areas. Once I transferred to a PvE realm, breathing was easier.

I prefer PvE because you can toggle yourself as PvP if the mood strikes .. and you can always go into BGs and that of the like. Just a thought to consider.

Agreed but I've also seen the same behaviour in Raids (LFG). I've been booted because apparently I didn't pull my weight (I was 13th out of 25 so not sure where that came from and figure it was more about loot than anything else). I started on a PVP server (Kilrogg) and got ganked a few times. When I was high enough, I ensured that those that were attacked -- and I was close enough -- I'd go and help them. Ganking shouldn't be allowed, IMO (should only be able to attack someone no more than 5 levels below and how many ever levels above).

Some people have add-ons that tell you your "ranking" when in a group. It shows your melee damage abilities - so if you don't have enough dps, they boot you out. Personally, I think those should be banned - I find them to enable bias. People tend to forget that they had to start somewhere - and at one point or another, everyone was a "noob" or not as skilled as some. The better gear is obtained through Raid Finder, but good luck trying to get in. That's what I always hated about this game.

That is the difference between PvP and PvE - ganking is controllable in PvE. You can always set yourself as PvP in a PvE realm if you so desire - but it's nice that by default, you can't be touched.

I tend to go for PvE instead of PvP but it's up to y'all. I tend to be more of a "for fun" player as well.
