Umm... did they hire their own bots? Can you back the claim that there are more people playing WoW version 16, than there was when BC hit? Or as you claim, at any time in the past?
Not accounts.... Not characters.... Im talking ACTUAL PAYING ACTIVE PLAYERS.
No one plays now but 12yr olds, and die hards who are still waiting for a new game..... and waiting and waiting, cuz all the new MMOs are crap... Blizzard is milking their cow for every drop, thats why they scrapped the new MMO, why bother when people will still pay $40 for a patch, and accept any story.... even ninja panda monks.........
When running jokes become major gameplay aspects... the game is dead.
What would it take to get into WoW as a new player today? $100? More? And 2-3 days to hit max level? Another 2 to be raid geared, and bored, doing daily repeat quests for... ...something?
WoW is as alive as a person with zero brain activity for a week, with machines running their organs...... And it needs the same treatment. Pull. The. Plug.

If anyone is experiencing WoW nostalgia, please do yourself a favor and find a private server out on the web; one that has a large enough populace and is free to play. You can quit at anytime and chances are you will be playing the game during a time/patch that didn't suck. ExcaliburWoW is a great option.
The Outlands in the Burning Crusade will forever be . . . a classic to me.

Do you play on this server? Are all the raids functional and blizz-like?
most private servers youre able to max level to that server in like 15 minutes, its set up but its not exactly the same game, but the premise of it is there..
ive tired a few and stuck with the retail version

I played on two different servers earlier this year, for around three months. I first tried Valkyrie, a vanilla server, and dipped out after a week of playing as the population was super low and the game was brutal. I decided afterwards to try Excalibur and instantly fell in love with WoW Burning Crusade.
Back in the day (~2007), I payed to play and it was all good. I didn't start raiding until WotLK was released but stopped playing before Cata came out.
The Excalibur server, a burning crusade server, had some bugs and some minor issues throughout the world but nothing serious. The population was always active, with no less than ~300 people online at one time, with ~1000 being the max. The great thing that I love about this private server is that factions, both horde and alliance, are allowed to chat with one another, as well as even running dungeons and raids together! This was implemented to increase overall server activity and fun. A bunch of raiding guilds are connected between factions as a result of this.
The level rate is 2x, meaning you get twice the experience from questing, allowing you to progress without having to grind too hard. It by no means allows you max level in 15 minutes. It took me about three to four weeks to reach level 60, with two weeks dedicated to leveling to 70. A bunch of that time was just taking the time to enjoy everything that I missed out on when WotLK was released, as I sort of skipped out on a bunch of the BC content, including heroics and raids.
I had a really awesome time playing on the server, from level 1 to level 70. I met some really cool cats throughout my journeys and even got to OT/MT with my feral druid in raids like Kara, Tempest Keep, SSC, Mount Hyjal, and Black Temple (I missed out on SWP, o well).
After reaching level 70 and raiding the end game content, I quickly realized that I had spent like all my free time out of school playing this game and decided to pull the eject lever, as these god-aweing games are ultimately life killers. If I could just play the game for no more than an hour of the day, I'd still be playing it but it demands ATLEAST 2-3 hours during one sitting so I just decided to quit after quenching my thirst of WoW.
It may not be the exact game, in respect to the patch that it duplicates, but it's close, if not better suited.
P.S.
Sunni, how soon will my thread be released from locked captivity?
ill do it right now,
as for private servers im not knocking them, they do allow people to enjoy the WoW experience, except of course if people prefer the actual questing part, its a minority of people but SOME due prefer the quest logs, and questing system and lore of it....
for me, its comparable to people buying albums of artists they enjoy.
i thoroughly enjoy wow, and i choose to pay the company money because i enjoy the service they provide and the game they made.

I enjoy the questing lore too, even the grueling quest chains like those ones asking you to swim off the coasts of Darkshore ( for what seems like hours) in search of a pendant, all so that you can transform into a walrus/dolphin thing while swimming. O and the one for the key for Kara, good god did that take time and patience.
Let me ask you, have you tried Excalibur? I don't remember the quest logs lacking any content, so I'm a little lost with your comment...
I shouldve explained further by questing i mean because you level up so quickly you progress much fast through the story line rather than slowly working your way through your content ,
i have tried several though to be honest i couldnt remember any of their names.
WOD is actually pretty amazing , this expansion was desperately needed and it is well worth it the content alone is amazing.
