Seems like some1 did not pick ability to read. Guy *****ed about Icecrown - he got similar style answer.
Population ratio says for itself wich server is preferable for people, reasons i've posted before.Edited: August 4, 2016

Icecrown is obviously more popular, that no sane person can deny. But that does not have to mean its better. McDonalds is the largest international restaurant chain. Does that mean they are the best or have the best food? Popularity do not define if something is better or not
And also even if we say Icecrown are "better" than Lord due to the higher population. Then yeah it is better for for the majority. or atleast a better choise. But that does not mean its better for everyone. There are still several k of people playing and enjoying Lord, prefereing that over icecrown. So obviously Lord is better than icecrown for a bunch of people.
it all come down to what you as a person prefere and like. Something that you might hate other might like. things you like might be somethign others hate.

Among fastfood restaurants ? Yes.
By the way, 3 months ago Lordaeron was your "McDonalds" with highest population cap 12k+2k que. Simply because it was the best realm Warmane could provide on that moment. Now it's not :)Edited: August 4, 2016

Well again our personal taste differ. There is lots of people that does not like McDonald, or their food. And those people are not wrong, they simply have a different taste.
At the begining Lord was the best yes. It had less bugs than the other ones and all that. Now icecrown has been fixed to same level. The only thing that differ now is the rate and Rdf and those things. Both servers work well. Besides the rates, the fact you can buy more gear cheeper and you have RDF. they are the same now. The difference is all about personal preferance
And claiming something that is all about personal preferance is Better, is the same as telling those who have a different opinion that what they like is worse. that thier taste is bad or that they like the wrong thing.
Seems like you have a bhard time understanding the objective part. From your posts here and elsewheere in the forum, you seem to often have the opinion that when people have different opinions and likes than you, then you are right and they are wrong :)

And the rates.
And the rdf.
And the overbuffed raids.
And the population.
And the que situation.
And the pve progress.
And the marketplace.
And the million minor stuff starting with swarm of bots ending with dead pvp i'am too lazy to list here.
The "only", kek. Realms are completely different.
Either you accept your example with maconalds was incorrect, or it just approves my words - when realm is realy the best - it is always the one with highest population.
Now you sound like some guy who's been hired for gay propaganda.
However, the only one i said - for major of current community Icecrown is much better, population ratio and the speed people swapped Lordaeron to Icecrown with just confirms that.Edited: August 5, 2016

The thing about McDonalds is valit. its the most popular and the most sucessfull fastfood restaurant. that is obvious. But How do you define "best"? is it the one that earn most money? Is it the one with mosty restaurants? The one with the best food? Is it because the food it is popular or is it because you usally get the food fast? Do people go there because they want the best food or do they go there because its easy and there are basicly everywhere?
Another example wolkswagen beatle. the worlds most produced car throughout the time. There is no other car that has even been close to reaching the same numbers. But is it a good car? No it is a piece of crap. But it was cheep, easy to make so its popularity had nothing to do with how good it was. It was and is a bad car, bad quality. and dangerous to drive. But still it is the car that has been made and sold the most out of all cars. So popularity does not have to have anythign to do with how "good" something is
Why do the majority chose icrown over lord? is it because it is better? Is it becacause its easier? Is it because you can buy gear without having to work for it?
Why do the ones playing on Lord chose that?
Define better. and no popular is not always a proof that something is better. Somethign vcan be popular bec ause its easier. It can be because its cheeper. there is loads of reasons something can be more popular without actually being better.
In this case it all comes down to personal preferance and who are you and me to decide what preferance are better?

Anyways, to the OP.
If you want more people in general then try Icecrown. I can't speak for Lordaeron but I can't imagine it being much different aside from less people and obviously the content restrictions of the realm. I do know that Lordaeron is fairly dead at US hours, while I can farm nearly instant queue BGs on horde until after midnight (pacific) on Icecrown.

Right now Icecrown is better. It's simply more active in almost all aspects (except low lvl world PvP perhaps). And somehow there are lots of people who can't/don't want to see it this way, but in fact, population is one of the biggest factors to determine which server is better. Reality is, Icecrown came out and Lordaeron had never had queues since, and Icecrown always had it everyday and for several hours.
Also, lots of people prefer x1 rates but still playing on Icecrown. Why? Most of them do have irl jobs, family, responsabilities, you know, those really can't keep it up on Lordaeron unless they won't mind questing for 1 year. No lifers will have absolutely no troubles playing there if they prefer to do so

Im quite interested in this thread but you saying Icecrow is better, while x7 XP seems quite awfully alot to me (im fine with x2 though) even if I havent much time to play the game. You wont stay long in any farming zone, most quest dont even need to be completed, you will miss most of what is the World of Warcraft.
But well, thats my opinion and I think you cant say if any server is better than another. This post should be locked or someone should just recaps the Pros and Cons of each server and let the OP judge by himself :p
Have fun peeps ! *morph into crow*

I will speak for myself and some of friends who have decided to leave. The very idea of "hardcore" realm seemed appealing as it promised something "more", specifically the joy of achieving harder goals, the pride for even dinging 80 lvl and so on. I´m not saying it was a bad idea, it definitelly was something new, but now it seems to be brining more cons than pros.
Anyway, the main reason why many people decided to leave Lordareon is quite simple. It´s the huge number of bugs, whether it´s spells, quests, abilities, dungeons, whatever. It´s the tons of bots who are still active, despite numerous reports. It´s the truly speaking unique bugs (such as not being able to use certain spell in arena, which happens quite a lot). And yes, I know it´s a free server and we can play there for free, but since this should be a challenging and hardcore realm, these flaws kind of undermine the whole project. (That is if you by hardcore don´t mean having to play w/o fear in arenas, random DCs and such). And I can even understand the bugs, but what really makes me wondering is the time it takes to fix even the simpliest bugs (spawn one npc etc.). I´ve played on many servers and I´m quite sure none of them had neither the resources nor the population of Warmane, but they somehow managed to fix bugs far more faster and react to ppl´s requests and reports flexibly, which in the end made the server feel more like home. So I guess it´s the attitude here. And I don´t know whether it´s incompetence, low numbers of devs or just laziness, but it surely does some harm and frankly, you can be glad there is so little competition among wotlk servers.
Having said that, please bear in mind I don´t mean to insult you in any way. I had quite a good times here and feel grateful for that, but it´s just that I see so much more that can be done to improve the server/ realms.
