How to pick a new WoW server.

Primary: [General]
Secondary: None

I have setup a database drawing from wowjitsu guild rankings and wow census. I've done some data analysis which hopefully will come in handy to any of us who might be interested in joining another server. My goal, ultimately, was to find a guild, on a pve server, on a PST or MST time zones which had a good number of guilds that were at least ranked in the top 2000. If I don't get into one guild, the goal is to have a few others that I might be able to apply to... Please take a look at succeeding threads for general queries.

Please bear in mind that this data is only as good as wowjitsu.. which has some pretty old data. Some of these guilds, I found, had moved already.

All results are Horde Only:


Query: Give me all PST or MST timezone PVE servers, count the number of guilds in the top 2000 rankings, and give me the results ranked by guild-count.

Result: Servername, Guildcount

Doomhammer 13
Hyjal 11
Icecrown 11
Kilrogg 10
Shadowsong 10
Uldum 8
Silvermoon 8
Azjol-Nerub 8
Dragonblight 8
Terenas 8
Proudmoore 7
Perenolde 7
Baelgun 7
Cenarius 7
Aerie Peak 6
Uther 5
Suramar 5
Velen 5
Skywall 5
Draenor 4
Echo Isles 4
Nordrassil 4
Zangarmarsh 4
Arathor 4
Galakrond 4
Korialstrasz 4
Lightbringer 3
Antonidas 3
Blade's Edge 3
Windrunner 3
Ok, in case the 'top 1000' guilds might be a little too hardcore, give me the PVE servers in PST or MST time zone which have the 'largest number' of guilds ranking between 1000 and 2000 (according to wowjitsu):

Results:

Server, Number or Guilds

Mal'Ganis can kiss my ass! I was there as alliance and I'll tell you one thing back in the the day the Horde told you when and where you could quest. Don't believe it can happen try being corpse camped for over a hour and that was a easy night. Oh yeah the memories.

Mal'Ganis, was also known as Mal'Goonis due to the Goon Squad and their limitless amount of members.

now im going to go cry myself to sleep...
I used to play alliance on Mal'ganis too. It sucked

If a cow laughs hard, does milk come out its nose?
Yeah... part of the reason I personally avoid PVP... but also something you could almost deduce given the stupid number of guilds in the top 2k rankings on that sever hordeside.

Also think these rankings are secondary to actually logging on to the servers in question and chatting with folks to get a sense of the place. The idea is these can give you a place to start.
this makes my brain hurt. information overload
