If there is any population decrease, it will be over the next several months as people become further invested in their toons on the PvE server.

Yeah, you can't expect the new server to *immediately* take tons of population from the main server. Give it a month or so and the PvP server will start peaking around 6k players. Can't wait for the population to decrease a bit so we stop having so much server lag on weekends.

I've got a number of people in my guild who still play some on PvP but they started lvling casually on PvE as well. Only time will tell how invested they'll become with their PvE character once it gets a bit fleshed out. I imagine this fence sitting trend may be pretty common.

IMO neither server is anywhere close to dying atm, but if it so happens that there's a huge decline in overall population, I'm pretty sure the PvP one will go first. There's a reason why PvP servers were the less popular ones in vanilla.

i actually had a queue today... had to wait like 10 seconds before i was able to enter.
Doesn't seem like PvE has any effect on PvP realm... at all.

Like many, I won't play on the new server simply because I'm already here. When you already have a row of 60s or even 1 decent 60; there's no reason to start over just to drop PvP. There's no transfers to the new server you see, thus it isn't even going to dent our already established population. It's mainly going to attract rerolls who weren't 60 already(hardly a loss), and new players that weren't even here yet. It might attract some "FIRST WANK WANK" elitists, but again, that's not what I'd call a loss.

We'll actually see an increase in performance as opposed to the daily lagg that plagues the server thanks to being over populated. In other words, I'd love to make "more" people go over there as opposed to flooding in here. It's a fertile field with room. Ours is an overcrowded city. It's just a shame I won't be among them as I have too much invested here already to just dump it all and start over with nothing. Go ahead and steal my names on PvE; I couldn't care less.

One thing I'll envy the new server for is the ease of farming. Our ability to farm anything effectively here has died a long time ago, with anything in the game being fought or tag warred over. This means you'll probably get something less valuable to farm that's hardly worth the time in the first place(hence why everyone else isn't doing it). It's quite difficult to farm on this crowded server. The fresh server will have it so much easier for quite a while, maybe forever if it never gets to our population. This is also without the world ganking while you quest.
