@massivelyop this is why WoW is so behind in their own category....it's called an MMO(massively multiplayer online) not a SMMO(slightly massively multiplayer online). Nobody wants to "choose a server". It's 2024 and there's no reason to have 6384783 servers that aren't connected in anyway.
This has been proven by almost every other MMO with Megaservers.
@BeAware Yeah, I think it's the server classification - people on RP don't want to be shoved to a PvP or non-RP PvE server. A lot of them had apparently already been moved once, and they don't want to go to the new server and deal with toxicity they were explicitly avoiding. It's a looooong thread of complaints.
