I tried the Emerald Dream server and it seemed quite live-like. It's not as classic as I had hoped since it operates on the 1.12.1 patch instead of pure vanilla release. I.E, as a druid, hurricane isn't a talent point at the bottom of the balance tree but merely a spell. I believe they are doing everything up until the burning crusade expansion.
Population seems okay.. but it doesn't support the reason I wanted to try it. I wanted to get a reasonable level, be able to quickly join a pvp game, and log off. Or, join massive world pvp like Southshore vs Tauren Mill battles. It appears there isn't any world pvp and bgs are limited. There are battleground queue announcements that go off when a game starts and I have never seen one not for 60s. Whether it is due to population or people not signing up to pvp, I'm unsure.
Oh yeah, it's buggy. I fully understand that as it's an emulator. For a classic wow server, I think it is fine. I have never tried another wow emulator though.
