This is a meta, community, World of Warcraft diary. If you aren't interested in any of these three things, I humbly suggest the back button on your browser.
A few things in today's diary - first, in comments, I'd like for you to post the race and class that you intend to roll or transfer.
I'm certainly not going to tell anyone what they can or can't play - but it would be a good idea to see what we're going to have a lot of, and what we're going to need.
If you have a name already picked out or professions that you favor, please post those as well.
As to the poll. Yeah.
Well, Proudmoore is full. Full means no character transfers.
And we love you Black Leather Rain, but I hear the ratio on Whisperwind is 4:1 Alliance:Horde. Which would be almost as miserable as a PvP server.
We can either deal with the full server on Proudmoore, deal with the horrible ratio on Whisperwind, or I can spend the day researching, find a medium-population PvE server and we can all roll on that.
At any rate, I intend to run a death knight, as we'll need some higher-level characters to help with instances, and I like death knights.
My DK will be a Blood Elf and will probably be named Moodyloner.
Update [2009-4-1 14:47:30 by Moody Loner]: Well, looks like it's Moody's fiat.
I will choose a server with medium population, that has no worse than a 2:1 Ally to Horde ratio (and one that favors Horde if I can find it), and is PvE. I will not necessarily deny an RP server.
I will then send out the call by tweet, email, and update. Watch this space.
Update [2009-4-1 16:55:57 by Moody Loner]:: I find after some looking that Garrosh (warcraftrealms.com activity graph) is usually at Low to Medium population (a little lower than I'd like, actually), is a new server, and is at this point Horde-favored (warcraftrealms.com claims a 67% to 33% Horde advantage).
