According to the WoW census, my EU server has 16,000 while my US server has 13,000. Unless they managed to nerf a lot of stuff, it might be a bit difficult to arrange raids and find parties for dungeons. But if you just want to solo, I guess a private server is a good start.
I figure it's not much of a difference if you compare cash shop F2P gaming to paying a little less than $14 a month. $27 for 60 days with a lot more than most F2Ps can give you and regular updates and annual major patches that give you more content (although a lot of the players claim Blizz is slacking. Could be worse.)
