When logging on to Warmane you see 4 realm names and the usual "high/medium/low" description under population on 3 of them. The 4th says "new players", which makes you believe you should enter this realm when new on Warmane, and then get transferred later, which is untrue.

Misleading realm description.

And how exactly is it untrue?
It's best for new players because it progresses through Lich King content like you did on retail. After the season of the realm ends, you can move your characters to Icecrown.

Well.. Let's think this for a minute.
Blackrock is instant 80 PvP, thus not that great for "new players". Considering how hard PvP is Warmane with crossrealm feature, and having to go against Icecrown's BiS/years of experience behemoths.
Lordaeron is x1, but its end-game content (idk if old content as well) is tuned to be harder. Not something good for "new player" either in most cases.
Icecrown, not something you wanna introduce "new player" to. You get called out easily if you don't perform well, or just kicked from here and there. Not the most fun community to begin with. There are nice players too of course, but those aren't that common still. Even if Icecrown is x7, it has its challenges to level as new player, as you lack gold to train (and buy gear), and you out-level the gear you get. Meaning the gear is always behind by big margin, thus combat can prove to be difficult for a "new player". Fighting a level 30 mob with one or two green items and rest gray isn't that easy, not to mention if you can't train your skills to highest rank.
This leaves us with Frostmourne, a seasonal and progressive realm. Probably the best fit for "new player" as player expectations aren't that high (I can only guess). If you start with FM on its early stages, you get to raid different raids and do some progressing and class learning on the same. Also considering the population isn't as huge as Icecrowns', but it might be knit together better.
