New Player`s Questions

Hello everyone! I want to start playing on Warmane server. I have some questions. I will be glad if you tell me the truth about Warmane.
1. Is it true that many people plays on Warmane? I see every day on server`s site that there are from 8k to 18k people and it is amazing and high number. But I can`t believe it. Can someone guarantee for me that it is truth?
2. What are server rates on all blizzlike realms? I mean: Ragnaros, Deathwing, Neltharion, Frostwolf (exp rate/gold rate/honor rate/drop rate/ proffession rate and more...).
3. How many horde and ally players? Where can I find more players?
4. Are there many bugs or not?
5. Are there any twinks?
6. If I want to play wotlk with new WOD`s characters then should I download Wrath of the lich king or Wrath of the lich king (old)?
7. Is Warmane the best private server? I tried to found better (with more population players) but I can`t find it. Only Nostalrius is good too, but lagged server and only classic WoW.
Thanks for help guys. If you answer at my questions I will start playing today or next day. Have a nice day!

1. Definitely true. Since its start in 2009, Warmane (previously Molten), it's always been a populated server.
2. The rates for every realm except Blackrock are x7. Lordaeron will be x1.
3. Years ago you could see the Alliance - Horde ratio. That's no longer a thing, so I can't tell you anything about it.
4. Private servers are never bugless, even Warmane isn't. So yes, there are bugs. How many? I'm not sure.
5. Twinking is still a thing here, after years. However, as far as I'm concerned, it's not very active at the moment. You may want to wait for Lordaeron, since it'll bring back a lot of twinks. I don't know anything about twinking on other expansions.
6. I'm unsure.
7. This is completely subjective. You have to see for yourself. ;)

Dalivon Hit the points superbly, though I'll throw a second group of answers to show another persons viewpoint.
1. Warmanes main selling point since release has been the fact that it remains one of the most populated Servers about
2. There will be a new realm that boast a x1 xp rate but typically youll find x7 across the board (with exception to Blockrock) skill increased go up by 5 also. Referenced drops are increased substantially and above normal drop rates for other tier items.
3. There indeed used to be a way to view it on the website - however its fairly even on here horde have only a Marginal increase on Deathwing
4. There are bugs - however most instances are open on the WOTLK realm and work as expected (except for a handful of situations)
5. Twinking is still a thing on here but its VERY niche - I hope the new realm will revive it.
6. I personally dislike the WOD character skins, (for reasons I shall not get into here, just personal opinion) but logic would denote that WOTLK (Old) Contains the older skins, used at release of WOTLK, and the other one contains the updated models.
7. The only way to answer this question is to play for yourself and experience first hand, and may I also co-ordially welcome you to Warmane. I hope you enjoy your Stay.

Peace out! - Nefandus
