please stop spreading BS. Communities will drop in pop over time, right not there is 1300 people on.. in July... since the start the pop has hovered anywhere from 800-2k.  Its still on par with blizz like... and i never really have issues finding a group as a rogue. Multi Raids are clearing content

I do feel for the horde tho at 30%...

Fake news! I bet half these posters don't even play on Darrow

Really?..

It's more than obvious that there is a slow decrease - which at some point - will cause the server to dramatically(!) drop in pop. That usually happens when you are hitting critical numbers of population, a 'point of no return'. Problem is: we are already down to Zeth-Numbers.

 

Red = Darrowshire, Blue = Anathema, Yellow = Ely, Green = ZK.

Hype Phase ---------------> Bandwagon-Guys -> Slow decrease -----------------------------> Change of decrease rate ->

Decrease rate's tend to increase exponentially. The heavy decrease in the beginning is a natural phenomenon in the private-server scene (Hype-Phase).

Darrowshire is fine. You don't like it ? Go play on another one.

Jup. Just did that. We'll see what you'll say when Darrow won't peak at 1000 anymore. And then not 500 anymore. Have fun.

No, vanilla cap was 2,5k so i'd say Anathema has a normal pop. And Darrowshire is way too low.

Tbh i think they should merge Anathema and Darrowshire. Sure darrowshire is not PVP but cmon that isn't that important in the end. Worse is not to have population

 

The pve vs pvp server argument is the most used reason for why a merge is not a good idea.

But a more important reason is that you will completely screw over a huge portion of the players game experience by doing it.

1: Everyone on darrowshire lose out on the opportunity to do the scarab lord quest line and get the mount. (Unless you wait until AQ is out before they merge)

2:  All darrowshire raiders will have a lot less gear for naxx (Naxx is schedueled to release 1 month before darrowshire even gets the war effort) meaning darrowshire would loose an entire raid tier of progressing, giving them no chance to compete in naxx vs the geared anathema players.

3: Horde is the ones struggeling with population, and a big reason for that is because some of the major guilds on horde side is very toxic, and scare away people even before they can start playing there "Roll resto shaman or gtfo" so a lot of the population issues is really their own fault. (Disclaimer: Several horde guilds are very friendly, but you got those huge guilds with zero community that just screw over everyone else)

Only the point 1 is valid.

 

2. Unless you are tryharding for first kill, this doesn't matter, because you will have to clear AQ serveral times before doing Naxx, you are not skipping content by any way.

3. Isn't then the merge better? So you got more horde pop and don not just rely on the toxic guilds to raid?

2: It will be skipping a large portion of AQs progress, because 5-6 bosses in naxx is easier than all aq bosses. And only a few bosses are harder than cthun but drop gear that completely negate the AQ progress. It is basicly nerfed content unless you gimp yourself completely and dont enter naxx until AQ is cleared. And pretty much no guilds will do that. Which will ruin a lot of peoples game experience.

3: i get that horde would like more people and a merge would be beneficial to them. But 70% of darrowshire is alliance. And alliance is doing just fine. I dont find it fair that we should suffer because horde destroyed their own population by being toxic.

Peak is ~1500 atm, cheers.
