Im kinda new to this trying to understand this so bear with me.
These five realms are ‘connected’, I guess. I can see my characters standing together in Stormwind on two different accounts. One on Daggerspine, one on Bonechewer.
I wanted to branch out into other servers, but I also want to be able to keep my characters ‘together’ to group up and swap stuff between them.
Will these two realms always be connected like this, or can this change at some point?
thanks

You will generally see servers phase into each other, this is due to sharding. Now here’s the thing, while they may be connected to you-you can’t --GENERALLY-- join guilds from other servers and what not. (I have seen players from other servers interact with merged servers, but a merged server and a connected server due to phasing are two different things). I would myself love more clarification on what a merged server and a connected server could do.
However playing on Dalaran, a lot of servers phase into mine, I can’t join guilds on other servers, but I can always interact with people and talk to people. I can’t go to their servers economy and work it, I can only work my own.
To answer your question:
I don’t see why not? So Yes, probably.
(Unless of course each server magically becomes full)

yeah…I was able to join the guild we have on Daggerspine with my new characters on BoneChewer and hand them off some gold, and they were both able to get into the guild bank, so there must be some differences. I know when we’ve run dungeons in the past ive tried to give players something and it wont let me saying their on a different realm or something to that effect.
I hope it stays how it is because I wanted to get onto a connected server with some new characters but be able to have them in our guild, so it seems to be working really well so far, knock on wood.
Ah yeah then you should be fine. I was happy I was able to somewhat answer your quesiton.
Keep it up! If you need any advice let me know how I can help.

On a connected realm you can do anything on those realms you could do on your own. On a phased in connection (sharding), you can only interact and talk to people as well as trade conjured items.

ah…ok. that makes sense.
Really nice it being this way so I can put the new characters in our guild.
This explains a lot. I was doing some fur-farming in Nagrand (WoD) roughly a half-hour ago, and some priest from Uldum was there and decided to pull the whole “Be a prick denial” technique. REspawns are so fast I was still able to catch me quota running and DoT’ing but I thought it odd since Uldum wasn’t in our cluster
Only trust the forums for the clusters (which means the realm servers are directly connected to each other) anything else has to be this phased “sharding”. So I was doing my usual run to get fur from WoD to make into Hexweave Bags (still easier to make than future bags, something Garrisons ARE good for) and had some alliance shadowpriest running around also trying to farm. And what ensued was the usual “be a prick denial” tactics. Didn’t matter to me, only needed 35 and between the mounted zone special and the fast respawn rate it was easier to snag a wolf or two running and DoT’ing.
Bonechewer is in a connected cluster with Aegwynn, Daggerspine, Gurubashi and Hakkar. If your toons are in thos realms they are treated as being on the same realm in terms of guilds. If memory still serves Gurubashi is the most populous in our cluster (I see them around a lot more than the others).
I have a lot of problems with lag, so the low population rp realms I’m on have been my go to place when I can’t play on fuller realms. Now thanks to this, Earthen Ring and Darkmoon Faire (both EU) have become laggier than the others. Nice one Blizzard, make it harder to play for those of us on older computers. Before this I had trouble raiding, now I struggle to walk through cities most of the time. Linking seven or eight realms together in some cases seems too much. We don’t all want or need full, busy realms. Sometimes we prefer a little solitude.
you can send boa stuff ie S.E.L.F.I.E camera or heirlooms and NOT stuff like linen cloth to other realms on your kharectors
