Update #2 - Nothing in Europe at the moment.

Update - Sources and various GM chats seem to indicate that this is intended, and the service will be offered for free for the moment, most likely as a trial.

Cross-Realms Battle.net Invitation now Activated
It looks like the feature to invite your RealID friends from other realms has been activated on US realms today.

IMPORTANT - Since this isn't official yet, it could perfectly be a mistake from Blizzard. If that's the case you can fully expect it to be disabled soon. Don't get too excited.

    As you may know blizzard lost lots of subscribers, me being one of them, they try to squeeze every penny.
    they are doing everything to get more subscribers again, more money. Hence Firelands being easy, As it sais in the Commercial "Pug friendly raids"

    Im glad i quit this game. shame i keep following the "news"

    Kel'Thuzad! Though I'm on the EU one :P

    Would be nice for them to put this in for free - not that I'd deny them the option to put in paid stuff, but it'd raise the public opinion, plus I don't think many people would use this if it cost money.

    I could use it to be able to enjoy the game more and play with friends but i would never pay for it. Im a tank so get instant groups anyway i can see the DPS using this feature though and willing to pay for it.

    But i pay £8.99 a month to play with friends on a "mmo" not gonna pay more to play with friends sorry ACTIVATION it wont happen.

    Son of a.... If this is true its the best thing they have ever implemented.

    Why are you guys saying that this should be free? If this was free it would completely make paid transfers worthless.
