The test servers are down now. The new production servers won’t be available till later today.
There’s the forum post with the new servers listed. Yep, I didn’t mean the test server(s) that have been around, but the new, find-a-name or three, servers going live this afternoon.
This might be a stupid question but how can they guarantee we will have the name we want if we can’t even pick our realm until a later date? Unless I missed something…?
You pick both your realm and your names today.

Hi! The stress tests are still going on, how will I know that the character I create doesn’t get wiped out. Do you happen to know? Thanks!
I’m so excited!!! I checked and my character still exists on the stress test servers, when are those going down today?
If you created a character in the stress test, it is gone already.
You have to create your characters later today after the new production servers are up.

Thanks! I just checked and the servers are down! Awesome, really appreciate your answer 
This is going to be such a cluster. 
The forums are going to lock-up. The authentication servers will burn down. Imagine millions of players all trying to make their characters at once. There’s going to be a lot of problems. People will be dc’d. They’ll lose their name because they couldn’t connect. Much raging will ensue. It’ll be…interesting.

I think you’re dreaming. The three servers handled the test this weekend just fine. 11 NA servers are going to handle the name grab just fine as well. I think it will be a little slow actually, with people setting up their characters over the next two weeks as word of mouth spreads wide.
I’m having classic withdraws again…

This mans asking the real questions here
l’m sorry if this has already been answered but I didn’t have time to search the thread- I’m assuming this is 6pm PST?
Then search the thread
Question regarding the name reservation process. When the time starts, what will the actual process be? Will we be able to launch WoW Classic using battle.net, choose a server, and create a character?

NO, that is 6pm est (just under 4.5hrs to go)
It’s been asked and answered a bunch of times.
If you are new here, you will need to download and install the Classic client.
I just played the stress test the client is installed. Just looking for clarification, thank you.
The next two weeks are going to be hell!!!

Dude, chill. I’m on my phone and was leaving for work, and will not be home when it actually launches. Either answer the question or don’t but don’t be a jerk about it.
