Choosing a server on World of Warcraft can be a tough decision. There are so many different realms to choose from and so many options. It would be nice to have a checklist of what you want your server to have, a certain customisation on how you want to play the game.

I did a Google search to see if this was possible. I came across a website that nailed down exactly what I was looking for… Secret Warcraft by Jonathan Kenins has a podcast that offers tips and techniques on how to choose World of Warcraft servers according to your gaming style.

So in order to play the auction house game, I need to find a very populated server so I can take advantage of their economy.

Jonathan Kenins suggests I go to WarcraftRealms.com to help me determine the population of a particular server. This website uses an add-on to do a census on each server on either US or EU WoW. It will help you get an idea on how many Horde or how many Alliance players are on a particular server.

A couple of things that you need in order to make a lot of money on a particular server: A populated server – More people means a higher demand for items, so they’re more higher priced than that of a server with not a lot of people.

Two things, you can either go for a well balanced server. Or one that has less population for the side that you want to play. Usually the side that is less populated tend to have higher prices because there’s less supply around.

Depending on the way you want to play the game, you can either go PVE or PVP. If, like me, you want to make lots of money…You’d be better off going PVE. You will have to gather a lot of stuff in the wild, and this can get pretty annoying on a PVP server.

Using the guidelines mentioned above, you will be able to narrow down your quest for a new server down to 3 to 4 choices. The next thing you have to do is to make level 1 characters on each faction and server, and bring them to their respective auction houses. Here you will be able to do a scan and monitor the price for high-end items. Herbs like Deadnettle, Goldclover, and Tiger Lily should be around the 40g range.

Check out Cobalt Ores, Mithril Bars, and Gems, these trade goods usually go for a high price. What you need is a server that is wealthy enough to support prices in the higher-end for these items. If these things are more on the lower-end of the price range, then that server probably isn’t for you.
