Has Blizzard said anything about new servers for Cataclysm?

They have loads of servers that can't get past low population, why would they make new ones?

I think the thought is that it would be cool to have a new server with no transfers allowed so that those wanting a fresh new start with a new xpac can enjoy a pristine world. While I guess this would have a certain appeal, I agree that if they can't fill all the ones they have, why make more.

You'll note we are arguing from the same side of the fence

There's a sticky on the official forums with the answer to this question. It's been there for ... almost ... ever, but I have a feeling you knew that.

EU?

There likely will be new servers put up. WotLK had lots of low pop servers at launch. People were asking this very same question, with lots of people saying it will never happen.

Then they launched 12 new servers during and after the release.

I will be returning to play on one of them. If for some reason there aren't any, I likely won't play.

I don't get this logic at all. Any new server is going to be landrush for a month and then be another low pop wasteland by month two, whereas right now every high pop realm has a plethora of people rerolling with a steady population at the top.

Playing low pop on this game sucks almost as much as playing low pop in a PVP mmo. Almost.
