WoW Classic Realm Names and Types - Updated Aug. 27

I have an active subscription, have downloaded Classic, but it shows servers are all offline. Did I miss name reservation?

No, they are adding a new realm.

Can you please tell us what low, medium, high, and full population ranges are? You donā€™t have to give us exact numbers if youā€™re scared to for some reason (we also need to know if it is based on the unique accounts on said realm or number of overall characters of said realm).

Something like:
Low: 0 - 20,000
Medium: 20,001 - 40,000
High: 40,001 - 60,000
Full: 60,000+

You honestly have enough space on the realm selection screen to make the list look like this:

Realm Name | Type | Characters | Population
Herod | (PVP) | (#) | Full (42,621 Alliance / 34,576 Horde)
or smaller form:
Herod | (PVP) | (#) | Full (77,197 - 55% A 45% H)

Seriously need help, Iā€™m desperate. Ive been Raunchy the warlock since classic. I have a massive reward for some one to message me saying we can trade names. Please and Thank you.

Seems to be missing a server :thinking:

Herod is currently a full server. Does this mean if you do not have a character pre made on the server you cannot create a character? Had a couple of my friends wait until launch to make characters and now it seems they may not be able to play with us. Does ā€œFullā€ just mean long quene times? Or can they not make characters on this realm ever?

I have never experienced a full server before and canā€™t really seem to find the answer.

Locked means you canā€™t create a character if you donā€™t already have one. Full is still just a population indicator.

Thank you!

I am but I donā€™t really count since I just returned to the came with the beta announcement.

Hi, Iā€™m really happy to hear about the RP-PvP realm.

Iā€™ve recently migrated over to WoW after playing Rift for the past year.

This summer, I guess I was trying to role-play in the Rift warfronts (battlegrounds), but felt a little self-conscious about it, because I wasnā€™t sure if it was appropriate to do in PvP situations.

I like the idea of a Romeo & Juliet type of story (or Fox & the Hound), with forbidden love or a secret truce between people who are supposed to be enemies.

I think the idea was easy in Rift because we could talk to each other across factions. But I think in WoW, the words are jumbled across factions, and they cannot understand, as I recall from 10-12 years ago when I RPed in WoW?

I think the answer is No, but I just want to double-check: Will the opposite faction be able to understand what I say? Or just see emotes, maybe.

So Iā€™m not sure if this little fantasy could play out (or if anyone would even be interested, lol), but maybe communication via emotes can be enough fun. :smiley:

Well, thanks, though. Iā€™m really loving the game, so far. The Worgen starting area is simply amazing, and the music is absolutely perfect. I love that mobs auto-scale to my level, so I can go to different areas of the map.

Bump, Return to Sticky Please.

For WoW you might want to RP a cross species romance - Undead/Orc or something?

Any chance of getting another Western PvP Server?

Iā€™m not sure where you heard that from. You might want to look at a population density map of the USA and educate yourself.

Iā€™m sure we will . . . . as soon as Fairbanks hits full.

I am sure fairbanks will hit full if not before then at launch. personally I would want them to add 1 new server of the type/timezone whenever a server hit High because I donā€™t think their tourist rate is realistic. I would ideally like a medium server long term not a high with a queue. but we have little to no control on what they do so just gotta sit back and see how it plays out.

Uh, itā€™s an accurate statement. Central has slightly more in raw terms vs Eastern, but Central is far wider and spread out, and Mountain doesnā€™t do anything to help move the center of US population away from New England.

Everything Katerina said is 100% accurate, even if you donā€™t like the concept.

You might want to look at a time zone map of the United States and check it against the population map.

As to the population center of the United States. Iā€™m not going to argue with the United States Census. If you want to, be my guest, but if they say it is in Missouri, then there is a high degree of certainty that it is in Missouri.
