Realm Connections -- July 23

[Katyparry-wyrmrest-accord]

is there a list on what servers will be connected

[Anastasia-argent-dawn (Anastasia)]

Argent dawn US could definitely use some love.

[Yukine-kilrogg (Yukine)]

Ooh, we got the 1 week notice I requested. (Even if I didn’t notice it until now. )

Thanks Kaivax!

[Micjaguar-azralon]

Dont forget brazilian realms pls!!

[Abigail-khaz-modan]

I say just put us all on one server
Just have our character name be followed by all of our titles. That should make them unique enough.

[anon47747241]

Somekind of mega server with massive layering.

• need to add last names to character. this way EVERYONE keep their first name. Abigail Thompson?

[Ráyne-terokkar]

please give earthen ring some love too that servers been dead for at least a decade

[Jáni-earthen-ring (Jani)]

whisperwind is connected to Dentarg so thats why it show high

[Kinetik-garrosh]

So for those of us that chose a low pop realm…? I suggest that free char moves be made available to anyone on these realms.
With the API being changed/broken so that sites like RealmPop can no longer function, it feels like Blizz is forcing us to play in a way we may not want to.

With servers like Cairne you do not need to worry. We have less than 50 people per class when I am on (evenings pacific time). Adding 300-400 people to a servers log ins is not going to change much-you are still going to be on a low-population realm. The only thing this impacts is possibly getting the AH to change from complete dead space to possibly having enough people that you can buy items for reasonable prices.

Next time your out and about and feeling like it’s crowded. Look at the people’s names in the tooltip. It will say “Name & Title - Server”. If they aren’t from Drak’thul or connected Skywall then you have been brought there via CRZ.

NINE!

At about two in the morning last night, there were eleven characters in downtown Stormwind and NINE realms were represented including mine and Skywall. When people talked about CRZ, I thought it was just a few realms in a cluster.

There has to be a better way to do this. I am not a fan of the mega server idea but I am beginning to see why people are.

(P.S. Thank you the info )

[Bravura-garrosh]

GARROSH IS DEAD! LINK IT with SOMETHING!

[Kinetik-garrosh]

I haven’t compared the realms they’ve announced so far, but the OP said “connecting low pop realms to higher pop realms” no low pop to low pop.

[Oldevil-durotan]

At this point maybe they should just merge all the servers in a time zone together.

[anon47747241]

Please connect Exodar to Area-52. Bring my family together.

What blizzard said was “ We are planning more realm connections for low-population realms, and we will post further ”

Some other poster may have talked about higher population realms but the Blizzard post discusses combining lower population realms together.

[Kinetik-garrosh]

Sorry, I guess the wording was;

@Kaivax

This process will take place during scheduled maintenance, connecting a few realms each week, until we’ve connected every low-population realm in every region to a substantially larger population of players.

New Realm Connections are Underway

World of Warcraft is best when you have a community of other players around you, and while numerous ways to participate in cross-realm play have been added to the game over the years, there are still many aspects of the experience that are realm-based. From your history with your guild to your interactions with the economy around you, a realm with a healthy population provides more opportunities, and it’s been several years since we last connected some realms. We’ve now completed a comprehensiv…

[anon47747241]

Is the maintenance happening on all servers or just the ones that are merging?

I have Legion Invasion to finish this morning!

[Bhelldark-azralon (Bhelldark)]

@Kaivax

We are planning more realm connections for low-population realms, and we will post further notifications like this one in the coming weeks.

I hope they connect all Brazilian servers, most of them are dead

[Janadin-skywall]

Is this still happening? No maintenance has happened on Skywall.
