Only solution I can think of would be if Blizzard ever allow a "free guild transfer" allowing all characters in a guild to be transfered to a low populated server.
Indeed, a ton of US servers are marked as 'Low' population as well even when there are at least 50 realms which are in
High,Full, or Locked status during this Cata launch. A long, long time ago, when Tseric was still a CM and the Blizzard forums
were version 1.0 [remember they just launched version 3.0 a few weeks ago], Tseric had a post where he mentioned that
Blizzard would look into merging realms if people refused to take free transfers and help balance realms. I am still curious if
they would pursue such a path with all of the low population ghost town realms or even with realms like Mal'Ganis US or
Cho'gall US where an entire faction completely dominates one side of the two.
