Drak'Tharon is a PVPCentral Timezone server in the EmberstormBattlegroup, founded on November 18th 2008 shortly after the release of WotLK.[1] The server was opened up for free transfers from a large assortment of overpopulated realms with the goal of population dispersal.
Drak'Tharon was a low population realm until Blizzard opened up free transfers again on January 7th 2009.[2] Within a few days after free transfers opened to Drak'Tharon once again, the realm was sitting at a locked state. Transfers were closed shortly after.
With high latency all around and constant server queues, Drak'Tharon was given free transfers off the realm on January 27th 2009. [3] This brought Drak'Tharon down to a medium population realm and all has been good since.
