Just how popular WoW Forever is right now

For Alliance players, Goldshire and Stormwind are packed even at 4 or 5 AM, and quest mobs in Westfall are being wiped out, leaving nothing in Redridge Mountains.
For Horde, there are crowds again due to the new dungeon, and parties for Deadmines, Ruins of Iskal, and르게 The르게 Felwood are still running at 5 AM.
Because of this, it's clear that it's not just the old-school players, but there's also a significant influx of new players in their 20s and 30s these days.
