Is there any chance of getting a new realm in the future? Obviously the current one is on life support and no one wants to start playing on it due to the fact that it is already long past its launch and the few remaining players are geared to oblivion.
A new realm would bring life to the Mist of Pandaria content on Warmane (even if just for a year or so) and would bring a lot of old players back into the game. Players that find Wrath of the Lich King too dated for their taste.
