WoW Classic Realm Names and Types - Updated Aug. 27

That’s pretty much easily assumed. I don’t think it needs clarification. They wouldn’t make an PST server in a different area, and there were different server locations/time zones during the stress test and such, at least during the one before this final one.

Choose PST for Los Angeles datacenter, EST for Chicago datacenter.

It’s the assumption I have a problem with. I want facts, not what some player THINKS it will be.

You’re on the wrong forum, in that case.

This is the best thread ever!

They have that situation right now in Retail, which is why people are clamoring for it.

But that’s due to historical reasons and battleground groupings.

Do you have a source on that? Currently there are servers of all time zones at each data center (E.g. CST/EST servers located in Los Angeles)

I’m EU based but want to play on US realms, so I’ll likely end up playing on Faerlina or Herod.

Looking forward to meeting you all there :slight_smile:

The realm names are fine btw, people are complaining about nothing

Really sucks that the only RP-PVP server Grobbulus is Pacific.

Needed it to be central, or at the least EST.

Fact of the matter is, Blizzard will not publicly release datacenter locations, but the moment the servers go live, we’ll be able to ping them and update WoWWiki.

Actually an hour makes a huge difference. Most raids are in realm time…if everyone in est gets out an hour before me makes it hard to group up. I guess guilds in CST could form but that would be interesting to organize.

Right, you realize most people that want to play classic never touched private servers?

This is laughable. These servers will be impossible to access on launch.

They likely have a couple more servers ready to be released in case population does get out of hand.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it

then why cry about the outcome when its your fault you didnt want to participate lol

I guess you two are right, but it wasn’t done like that on purpose(as Eloraell mentions).

I think it’s safe to assume that EST will be Chicago and PST will be Los Angeles. I’m pretty sure I remember the more servers last test being EST/Chicago and PST/Los Angeles.

I wouldn’t worry about the 1 hour. You’re forgetting that others in CST will be in the same situation, and there will probably be guilds and such that do things an hour later as a result.

no wonder WoW is in the state it’s in because no one can appreciate anything and all anyone has done for 15 years is complain and cry about everything and anything.

Way too few realms, please reconsider.
