I tried going back to Warcraft for the first time in a few years Just a few weeks ago. It felt like going to a dead mall. There were like 3 people in stormwind and trade was dead.
I mean since Burning Crusade people usually aren’t in capital cities, but mostly in the new zones capital like Shatt or Dornagal for TWW. You might also have been chromie phased?
Game isn’t at 10 million anymore but it is far from dead.
I started in LK days and org/storm was always packed. it started dwindling as time went on but bigger part for me is TRADE being a ghost town too. Who am I gonna play the anal game with?!
You will probably want to go where the current content is, which isn’t the old capitals really. I also found that some servers are really dead, though many are linked to others and can for all intents and purposes be considered the same server.
That being said this mount is absurdly priced and I kinda hope the buyers will somehow be ridiculed as in the past (blizzard literally disabled the ability to /spit at others because the playerbase bullied their real money shop customers with it a while ago).
Those people in the new capitals would still be spamming the shit out of trade in the old days. also I should point out i used one of those server status webpages to make sure i was going to a high population alliance server. social shit is half the reason i play MMO’s (I say from my second monitor as I play FFXIV lol)
Stormwind and Orgrimmar haven’t been main capitals since the first expansions 20 years ago lol, people usually only stayed there for the auction houses.
It’s been a moderately populated place on and off since then. But since Dragonflight there has been an auction house in the expansion zone, and now also in The War Within city. So there’s next to no reason to even stay in Stormwind/Orgrimmar anymore.

Most people are in Dornogal, enough to drop my FPS considerably when I’m there.
Trade chat is dead tho
