I'd like to comment on the leveling aspect of the realm.
The 7.5xp boost to help balance is great BUT, at first you're leveling way to fast for gear and gold. In some cases you are constantly killed by npc's because you have no money for skills or basic gear. So in return you're leveling the same speed if not slower without the boost.

I suggest upping the drop rate a smudge to compensate. It's a suggestion not a beg or plea.
Returning back to wotlk until a better system is implemented or until the kinks are worked out.
