At the same time those websites leech and benefit, earn and gain SEO from private servers while doing literally no work on their end. We believe it's not fair and we don't want to be dependent on such websites and for that reason Warmane never supported it.
As for population, following a drop in May 2015, for the past month population has started steadily increasing lately by about 5% to 7% every week according to our average daily realm population, website visits and account registration statistics that we use to measure our population tendency.
