choose blackrock obv - no que, no lags. both lordaeron and icecrown lags like **** at peak time
Cry baby poster above, ignore him.
Both are popular, but lordaeron has larger queues. Both queues can be skipped, (Icecrown if you donate at all, and Lordaeron if you donate and spend 5 coins on your character on lordaeron, (like a pet or mount because pay 2 win is disabled)).
Icecrown is 7x, Lordaeron 1x and hardcore (buffed raids/dungeons, etc...)
Ignore this person. I don't know about Icecrown since I almost never played there. I have played there a little have not lagged.Quote:

The little i'v played on icecrown has been without lag.
Icecrown is x7 rates for everything, so its like the easy mode on most games.
Lordaeron is x1 rates for everything, so its like the hard mode on most games.
Both realms run at population cap during peak times and have no lag. Just depends on how hard you want your experience to be.
As Webber90003 said. Lordaeron is meant more like hardcore experience, no RDF and raids tweaked to be harder, 1x rates, you will have to be social to get into dungeons and raids... Icecrown is normal WotLK realm. Rates are 7x, so you will level faster, no difficulty tweaks, exactly what you would expect from WotLK, and all perks of RDF, if you want to use it at latter levels, up till the raids, RDF will take care of you, if you are not very social.
Lordaeron is hardcore realm with slowly leveling speed (x1 rates), it has no dungeon finder, no legendary weapons, buffed bosses and it's progressive realm. It reaches 12,000 players online every day with 1000 players waiting in queue.Quote:

If you want hardcore realm, go play in Lordaeron.
If you want fully blizzlike realm, go play in Icecrown.
Do not worry about population, they both are very high populated and they both reach the top.
is x7 rate really blizlike ?Quote:

I find it funny how people refer to Lordearon's 1x rate as "hardcore". If the same task takes 7 times as long to accomplish it means it's "hardcore".
