Hey I was thinking of joining Warmane and would like some input on the servers
I've considered IC but there's some doubts
1. Why does Outland TBC have gladiator titles whereas WoTLK servers have lame duelist titles? Is Outland better for PvP then?
2. Why does IC have the highest population yet every time I check the '# Viewing' the forums, Icecrown seems to always have the least? Is icecrown just full of bots or something?
3. How's the Arena queue times and competitive aspect of Icecrown?
4. Are the top players actually glad material for retail WoW? (I was 2400+ multiple seasons, is this going to be as challenging or some easy p2w seeing that the ladder is capping at 2200-2500)
why don't you just log in and try to read global chat for 10 sec or go in front of SW.
.
Silly you, you forgot about Trade chat spams, at least on Horde, "SYLVANAS DID NOTHING WRONG", "NA BETTER COUNTRY THAN EU", even the good ol' **** spam who we all know and hate

Thank you in advance for any helpful comments!
Icecrown is the oldest realm, it's been remade and merged back and forth but the playerbase remains the same for a decade soon, So regarding to how active forums are, People know everything already and even general chatt in game works faster to learn something then searching the billion of forum threads.
If there was a way to se how many threads that's been made instead of how active it is for the moment.
About the PVP aspect, I payed competitive in Retail to but when people have played the same expansion for 10 years with the same class, same abilities, I can promise you, the top PvPers here are insanely skilled, end game PvP here on Icecrown require some serious skill.
There is a lot of newbs, and some people with maxed out gear due to the store but if we think about it, PvP in WOTLK is only 50% about the gear, this game require some serious coordination and thinking when it comes to PvP, Gear alone can only get you a bit on the way.
Not to forget, Warmane team is currently and have been working for a cross realm feature on all their 3 Wotlk realms so the arenas will (when implemented) explode, the ladder as we know it will change drastically.

Icecrown you can buy shadowmourne in the shop, blackrock you can't. They should balance some things before cross realm...

Well, id say Outland is better for arena because it has the more active brackets.
On Icecrown u are pretty much limited to the unbalanced 2s bracket while on Outland all brackets (including 5s) are active.
I also doubt that the upcoming cross realm arena will make 3s active on wotlk.
As long as Wrathfull shoulders are available in the store the 3s bracket will remain dead.
Imo the best solution would be to remove these shoulders of all characters that purchased them in the shop and refund the coins. Then make the shoulders only acquirable ingame and watch how the 3s bracket will bloom.
Are you talking from direct knowledge (not meaning that you use anything, but that you are personally aware of it) or some "that guy who beat me must have been scripting" thing?
