very logically, i started with http://www.wowrealmstatus.net/factions.php?t=1 to view realm loads (horde centric, alliance centric of even split for batlegrounds) then by type (PvE) then had a look at the realm forum pages.

but the best thing was to roll an alt, get to the main city and check out the chat and AH prices/availability. that way you can tell how things are looking.

there are other sites that give you information on guild progression for servers like http://www.wowprogress.com/ which can also help.

I knew my server(Thaurissan) was really high on horde but I didn't know it was the highest :O

Up rated for wow progress. I really think that is the best measure of how good raiding is on a server, although I do believe the pug communities on each can vary. I'm told on top servers, there are pugs that end up doing full hardmode clears of current content; however I also know that these "pugs" oftentimes are made up of people from the top 2-3 guilds, and they might bring in a healer or someone else they know from other means.

Wow progress is the best place to start, however. From there, you can check out the realm forums, roll a low-level alt, ask around. In wrath, GDKP's were a great way to get your feet wet in end-game raiding, although it remains to be seen with the new raid lockouts how that will go.

But yes, start with www.wowprogress.com if your main concern is raiding.

this is what I did. then rolled a couple DK's and got out of the starting zone. I don't get enough time to raid and I'm definitely a loner, but a lot of progression on a server is good for BoEs, the economy and crafted gear.
