Server Population Comparison to Blizzard's Vanilla Servers

[Starfallen]

Hello to all,

I am wondering how Nostalrius' current population compares to the old Blizzard vanilla servers, as I do not know what the average or exact numbers were for those. I mostly played on "medium" population servers back in the day, and found the game quite playable on those, so I am curious to find out where Nostalrius would fall in comparison to those standards.

Thank you for your time.

I have heard that Nostalrius' average and peak populations slightly beat that of a populated Blizzard Vanilla realm.

~ 2.5k average
~ 5k peak

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Having been here from the launch (almost a week, wow!) I can say that the average is about 3.5k. Peak is 5.3k, and at lowest the population is well over 2.5k (which was the vanilla server cap btw). So definetly there's a lot more people playing than on a high pop vanilla server.

If my memory is correct, on Kel'Thzuad (highest Alliance server) had roughly 2k peaks on Saturday/Sunday.

Keep in mind, on retail players are region locked to EU/NA, not the case for Nos.

I would say 3.5k is the average

Kel'Thuzad EU or US?

That is probably closer to true. I have never seen the population go under 2500 IIRC.

2.5k is the lowest ive seen it. average is like 3.5k with 5k+ peaks
crazy to think that when this server is at its LOW peak of the day that was classic MAX peak haha way more populated than actual vanilla servers nd im lovin it

I played on Kel'thuzad US, I don't remember it being known as the highest. It did have a very high alliance population though.

It's basically been 95% Alliance since vanilla.
