Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Has anyone noticed a decline in server pop by about 3k. Specifically a lack of Chinese players. At one point they were flooding into the server, and poof they are gone...even /china is dead..Anyone have any news on what has happened?

quite a few crashes in the last days due to the update, those really drag down the peaks

the 13k peak was way too much anyway. While the login server wasn't available for a few minutes today, the server was at ~4700 players and there was literally no delay left and viewing distance was insanely good

lower population at the current amount of players also has upsides

I see. I am absolutely okay with a decline in server population. I was just curious.
