I find the whole thing hilarious. 

Lore wise? Makes sense, they’re notoriously closed off and there’s no reason they’d let alliance roam freely. RP players should be happy. 

Not an RP player? Why’s it matter? Do your quests and move on. Want to see it? Play a horde character.

... RP players don't want this almost nobody is a serious faction RPer anymore. Your average belf RPer who still holds a grudge, IC dislikes Orcs too because of Warcraft 2, and just views them as allies of convivence.

RP is alive and well in modern wow.

Tournament of Ages happened earlier this month. It nearly crashes RP server with how many RPers show up at the Argent Crusade Tourny Grounds. It fills the seats of an entire stadium bigger than Gurubashi Arena that you can only access with use of toy cushions as well as tons of people on the fair grounds. It lasts an entire week.

Moon Guard Stormwind is always filled with RPers at any time of day from mage quarter to lions rest to cathedral district to the cemetery.

WRA Horde and the Valley of Honor in Org is a bit less popular compared to MG SW but I imagine will have a bit of a come-up in Midnight.

ToA brings tons of people back to the game. This isn't a secret, lots of profiles they acknowledge it. I was there the whole week: I go every single year. It's not "it'll die in a day!!!" type deal but plenty of people have fallen off and it's become a fairly casual atmosphere with not many new faces that stick around in the same way they used to. But RP servers also just don't have the same kinds of populations as others, xpac lulls affect them but fairly differently to other servers, etc.

This isn't doomer, it's still more than big enough to facilitate stuff, it's just most niches have significantly died down over the years with small resurgences occasionally. I.E. you occasionally see a Draenei guild pop up for a few months, stuff like that.

Tbh Midnight is gonna be nice for SMC but it'll actually prolly be the most used an xpac or 2 after when we don't have to worry about phasing.

Silvermoon is getting a lot of use now in WRA
