Hi,

New here! I'm torn on which server I should start on.

The main server from what I gather has 5k+ players, and the other servers only have 500+ players, do the lower pop servers have guilds that raid etc?

Any suggestions?

Anathema and Darrowshire have both some guilds left that regularly raid, but that's pretty much it.
On the other hand, Elysium is quite behind content-wise, which means it would take a lot of time for you to actually see raids like AQ40 and Naxxramas. If that's fine for you, then you should probably join Elysium.

It mainly depends on what are your expectations, needs and more importantly, what are your goals. If you want to see endgame content badly, then Anathema is the way to go (keep in mind the low pop though). Otherwise, if you feel like just having fun, doing some world pvp while levelling and enjoy the game while waiting for new content to come out, you should definitely join Elysium.

Keep also in mind they recently announced TBC being offered to the current realms in the future, and a chance that Anathema might be the first realm to have transfer options.

As a last thing, you should also consider the option of playing casually and wait for Crestfall to be released, since it's going to be a PTE server (the server itself will turn into TBC in the future, and then WottLK aswell most likely).

I'm on Darrowshire and don't have any issues with lagging that is talked about on the more populated servers, if that's a concern. On the other hand, I'm a casual player and going into this solo (lvl 12 human rogue)... so I can't speak for guild activity.

 

Just my 2 cents.
