tel'abim hit 3000 concurrent players just yesterday, anon. even if epoch runs PERFECTLY, it will not be able to support more than 3800 players at once. there is no longer any point in trying to salvage Gurubashi, which will be faction locked and therefore unplayable for a lot of people anyway - so you can choose unstable, broken-promises unplayable buggy slop or move on to something better with no lag or crashes and no fucktarded polls. just give it a try.
