WoLK population difference, why?

I wondering why Icecrown have 8k online, and Lordaeron under 2k?

Lordaeron is x1 realm with custom changes: No RDF, No heirloom, no Coin/Points store, Raid Bosses buffed

Icecrown is x7 exp realm

Now guess why Icecrown is more popular at the moment.
Anyway max peak is 12k for icecrown and 6k for Lordaeron

What about query, what is the limit?

12k is the max population, which causes queues in Icecrown during peak. The staff has made it clear not to increase it any further until they can find a way to keep it stable awhile increasing the cap

Yeas i check, seem to much, and up the latency too. Separate by 2 realm seem better.
