What would be a good sever with a low population, be for a newbie (Newb for WoW at least). The only other MMORPG I've played is.... you guessed it, Everquest. For those who are curious I played on Bristlebane and would prefer to play with others formerly from EQ on the Bristlebane server. To those from Bris, I was known as Poledra (wood-elf druid (46th), female was a member of "The Silver Knights" as well as several others), Ilither (dwarf, restarted him a few times so no specific class) and Kasil Ali (My first char, Dark Elf Warrior and former member of "Lords of the Dark Realm"). Any suggestions would be helpful.
Will be playing both Horde and Alliance depending on my mood, unless you people suggest I select just one faction.. Thanks for the input.

Don't pick a low population server.

Before you choose a server, decide on the type of server you want.

Quote:

5. "What are the server types?"

PvE - Player vs. Environment. This is also called "Normal" by Blizz. You can never be attacked by other players if you don't want to unless you go into a battleground or the opposing faction's capitol city. If you want to be attacked, you can set your "PvP flag" to on via command or by attacking an NPC of the opposing faction. On a PvE server, you can have characters of both factions (Horde and Alliance).

PvP - Player vs. Player. PvP is the equivalent of PvE in the "newbie" zones. When you leave those zones, you get into "contested areas", and your PvP flag is automatically set to on. With the PvP flag on, players of the opposing faction can attack you whenever they want to. Blizz has set some specific rules for PvP - http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowgm/?id=agm01654p. On a PvP server, all characters have to be the same faction (Horde or Alliance).

RP - Role Playing. There are PvE and PvP roleplaying servers. In essence, they are the same as the ones outlined above. The difference is that you are required to stay "in character". Blizz has set some specific rules for players on an RP realm - http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowgm/?id=agm01725p

After you make that decision, go to Warcraft realms, click on US Realms (or EU realms, if you are overseas), and sort the stats by population.
