Iā€™m assuming we have to login to the game client to reserve the names? Iā€™ve had some issues with hard drive space myself, and want to try out Classic, but donā€™t have enough hard drive space to install it yet. But I also donā€™t want to miss out on my character nameā€¦ :frowning:

RP-PVP is only Pacific. It is going to be a lag fest for the eastern players. That sucks but at least they gave us one.

Arugal chads assemble

These the worst names all time but whatever, Iā€™m still playing.

I agree Faerlina seems really random next to the other four realm names.

Can I get some love for Faerlina?!

I believe everything is hosted in Chicago regardless of where it has the realm listed. So youll be good east or west

I believe it is all Chicago

For those stating LA & Chicago for the reason there arenā€™t any CST servers, Chicago is CST. So technically there should only be Pacific and Central servers, no Eastern. Just saying =P.

Hey so, This might sound silly but i havenā€™t seen it written down anywhere yet, thought itā€™d be nice.
What are the different types of servers and why?
I know what the PvP, RP, RP-pvp, and PVE is.
Whatā€™s Normal? Or are they just saying ā€œnormalā€ and itā€™s only PVE? no PVP? Or is it PVP and PVE and you get to decide? Cause Iā€™ve never done an RP server.
would love some info.
Thanks :slight_smile:

Normal is what Blizzard traditionally labeled PVE.

Are all Emerald dream folks going to the Rp-pvp even if youā€™re not on west coast? I live on East coast so i hope ping isnā€™t a issue.

So if iā€™m looking for something we have had recently, pve and pvp. It would just be a PVP server? Or RP-PVP. What if i donā€™t stay in character? O.o

Itā€™s fine if you donā€™t RP you donā€™t however want to grief or harass people that do care and do Rp. Other wise you will most likely get reported and shunned from a % of the community if youā€™re a bad enough troll. Just be respectful and no issues.

Faerlina was a priest and botanist in life. I assume she had connections with the order that became the Scarlet Crusade. All PvP realm names have The Scarlet Crusade in common. My 2nd thought would be they had a pool of Naxxramas related names, considering we saw Stalagg(Stress Test) Grobbulus and Faerlina. Overall Iā€™m not sure what lead to the lazy naming :stuck_out_tongue: Probably didnā€™t wanna go with OG names when making so few names and come off as picking favorites.

I personally feel with how low the pop cap is with vanilla servers they already have more servers to launch as well believe it or not. All servers are going to be full Iā€™m pretty sure but we will see.

The western servers are in LA, the ā€œeasternā€ servers are in the Central Time Zone of Chicago.

What if iā€™m looking for PVE, but sometimes world PVP. Like currently we get to decide warmode on or off, so is there something like that? RP-PVP?
would PVE have no world pvp? tough choiceā€¦
cause on PVP youā€™re either horde or alli. thatā€™s it.

I played this last stress test right when it came out and the server filled up with a 3000 long que and I can tell you they had the refresh rates turned up. ā€œBossā€ mobs that were supposed to be on a 5 min timer were spawning in 1 min intervals (though you would still get backlogged there). So Blizz should have a good idea how much they need to layer and have the spawn rate set to.
