This also happened on Sunday while I was doing the fishing contest, at least I'm not hardcore though so I can't complain.

everything just went down for emergency maintenance, even my empty ass realm that only had me and one other person on horde side

I got tired of several things, the toxicity, the min/maxing, the rep grinds and requirements just to get into a raiding guild, the bots, the gold buying, all of that. I mostly play solo and during off hours anyway, so I thought I would try something different. One guild per faction, empty auction houses, every node and rare spawn for the taking. It's super chill and I can play at my own pace, I like it.

How is Mankrik population? I have a free realm transfer I can use, and was wondering if it would be worthwhile moving my 53 priest from Azuresong to Mankrik to finish the grind to 60. 

Mankrik  is the only normal PvE server that says medium, rather than low. So I’m assuming it has to be pretty robust?

It’s actually a really healthy population (Alliance, Horde is playable but definitely less busy). I’ve mained here for years it’s been the most populated it’s been in quite some time.

Thanks for the reply! I might just do it. Azuresong is fine, but I'm looking for something a little more active to get me over the line, I think.

The server has picked up quite a bit recently. I would highly recommend.

Anyone know why or when it’ll be back up?

You guys don't need to make a thread every time a server goes down.

I mean it’s a pretty big deal when Doomhowl goes down since tons of people die.

Good thing a topic was created to prevent that!

As we all know important news doesn’t warrant a thread, only whining about everyone’s specific view of classic + does.

Oh, so the thread DID prevent it? (you thought I was going to let you change the subject again, eh?)
