I doubt it. A likely scenario is that Lordaeron receives a lot of attention for a short period of time (e.g., 3 months top) due to the hype everyone is having about it. Once this time passes and its game core is replicated in the other WotLK realms, its population would probably stabilize between 1.5k and 2.5k players; there could be more, but I doubt there will be enough people to come any closer to the realm's cap of 4.5k. Most of Lordaeron's population will be sourced in-house and this could have a negative impact on the players from Deathwing and Ragnaros, which would lead to a merger of these two realms.
My best bet for all the Twinkers is to stay put either in Deathwing or Ragnaros depending on where the action is happening at moment in your particular bracket. After 3-6 months it will probably make no difference because they would merge into one mega-realm. Look at the forums, there are players already proposing this merger, and the populations from these realms have not suffered the drain from Lordaeron yet.
Good luck!
Yo Fell wazap amigo,better come back on Deathwing:

I just came back after 3 months,and 2 days ago we had like 11 bgs,and alliance got steamrolled a bit by horde and they refused to que.But we played again later,there are plenty of new guilds on ally with tons of 70s,and on horde they just made new ones.
about 79s,well dunno what happened with carried i see no 79 from there,primes are inactive only 2-3 players daily online and others 79s are without guilds Legends has some 79s rest no one.
I think, due to population decline in some brackets (e.g., 70) from Ragnaros, some guilds moved to Deathwing, breaking the initial agreement of having all 79's in one realm and all the 70's in another. IMHO, in the end it will not matter, like I mention in my previous post, it is likely these two realms would merge if their population drops to a point the merger becomes technically feasible.
PS: the merger I mention in these posts refers to Deathwing and Ragnaros; I think Lordaeron has a different concept and I doubt they will merge it with any of the other existing WotLK realms. Same goes for Blackrock. Bottom line, IMHO, Lordaeron would not be appealing enough to justify a Twinker migration and because its drain effect on the entire WotLK population it could happen that in the mid-term future there is a mega-realm 7x [Deathwing+Ragnaros] with all the current Twinkers. Something like that looks promising to me.
WOW just wow finally a man with brain <3 :))Quote:

We decided to vote for it,we also opened a thread about it 70s for ragnaros and the remaining 79s from rag and lord to merge on DW.
now the 70s that made like 3 guilds on DW will have to bear the consequences,because back on ragnaros when they were talking sh!ts about us(it is our REALM GO AWAY NUB TO LORDAERON)DW is for 79s,they all came here because we the 79s had bgs and we still have.
P.S. the bracket is 70-79.
+everyone is free to pick which server he wants he has the right to be which lvl he wants to be! if a 70 will start to complain about 79s on DW i am here to close their mouthh ;)
Good post FiveBoosters very good.GG :D
i agree with the realms aswell,if lordaeron drops to low they will remove it again or merge with another one.
To be honest we are never sure how many players will decide to stick around on Lordaeron but i think it will be WAY more populated then you estimate... 1.5k-2k? So techcially it would not be more popular then Blackrock on peak hours? (seen 1.2k on it).. Because of all the hype and advertising (people old, new and from retail and what not) it's gonna be huge i think but we will see over due time :) Although i don't know much about twinking persay but i think it's gonna be fun to have a 79 twink :)
Nowadays we have around 7.5k players across three WotLK realms. Deathwing and Ragnaros are PVP 7x with roughly 3-3.5k players each; and Blackrock is arena [instant max-level] with roughly 0.5-1k. Lets assume for the sake of argument that there are 0.5k people more that I am not accounting for in my calculation and the hype about Lordaeron brings another 1k to Warmane from other private servers/retail. That would make a projected total of 9k players. Before I go on to develop further a hypothetical scenario including Lordaeron as a fourh 1x realm, I must to correct what you wrote, as it is not what I said.Quote:

It would translate to 2.25-2.65k if you take the current population (i.e., similar to how I did in my previous post), or to 2.7-3.15k if you take the projected one. I believe that most of Lordaeron's population will be sourced in-house, I would guess coming mainly from Deathwing and Ragnaros, but my feeling is that Deathwing will be drained the most. Ultimately, the overall relocation of the WotLK population caused by Lordaeron would likely catalyze the merger of Deathwing and Ragnaros into one mega-realm. This would leave Warmane's WotLK players distributed across a mid-populated 1x Lordaeron, a high-populated 7x mega-realm, and a low-populated arena realm.Quote:

Either way, my advice to the Twinkers remains the same: go for the mega-realm; it is going to be legen-wait for it-dary. Bare in mind that this is a very speculative hypothetical case and by no means is actually going to happen exactly like I estimated it might, as I am not the oracle of Delphi.

Obviously you can write addons to scrape stuff like that, but I doubt that anyone of us has done that.
However, I`d guess that this number is several tens, if not hundreds thousands large, which essentially means that it`s rather easy for all the realms to hit their pop cap should the stars align, because given the correct incentive, all those active players will be online at the same time, which you simply cannot assume for now.
The reason I like the servers as two is because it separates 60s and 69 twinks and its super difficult to go against some noob who stacks stamina is.and stupidly op by blood dk and casters who can't do almost anything at all. Imao that's the only reason. But back on topic I am looking forward to play on Lordaeron
Thanks. I have already posted in that thread before. I hope you have read both paragraphs of my previous post, as they are part of a single response.Quote:
