Blizzard Announces Classic Server Names and Types

[Thelxi]

Those EU server names lol.

[Raetary]

But nobody is asking the real questions.

Which one is going to be the new Moon Guard?

Well, i wittnessed this on the razorfen server today.
So i imagine in whatever server these people decide to hang out in.

Why did US get all the cool names?

[Raetary]

Those EU server names lol.

They aren't that bad, but just way too long.

Change Hydraxian waterlords, Pyrewood village and zandalar tribe to Hydraxis, Pyrewood and Zandalar and they'd sound a lot better.

[Vrinara]

Private servers are okay. But the control the admins have is too much. I personally would rather pay and know I won't be banned just because someone doesn't like me. Which happens, and I've seen happen on some other Private servers. EQ and WoW respectively.

EXACTLY! Thank you for saying this. Someone else realizes that Private server Admins have too much power. The stories I hear about some private server admins is insane. Plus who really wants to buy gear with rl money? Cash shops are what takes the fun our of the game. (And even WoW has done this.)

Lol the EU names are pretty cringe though.. Imagine unironically saying "I'm on the Pyrewood Village server!" That's an oof right there.

[Queen of Hamsters]

As for the names, haven't they simply made 100% sure to not have any crossover in names between Classic and Live...?
That was what I thought. As for the quality of the names, the EU ones are indeed... oofta.

You brought it up, not me. Projecting much? Christ, I swear you're basically crying via text. Get over it already.

They don't even realize the hilarity of Classic fans a) bitching about "others being toxic" and b) making fun of retail.

A1) It wasn't retail fans spending all those years infiltrating any thread and every post on news for the game just to say how much better Classic was and how anyone liking the current game were idiots without taste.

B2) Retail paid for Classic to become a reality and will continue to be the main income of their MMORPGs, so Classic fans had better hope it continues to be profitable because they simply couldn't go back to the very limited revenue stream of a sub income.

I am calling it.. It will be Bloodsail Buccaneers. Mainly because it's the only pure rp realm (By pure, I mean not RPpvp)

It isn't often I agree with you, but spot on my friend.

Worse even still, they would never acknowledge facts you just presented to them.

[Vilendor]

Is there any info about where these servers are located? Im especially interested in the EU servers. There is a huge (+30-80) ping difference between playing on a server located in Paris or in Frankfurt, this is a huge choice factor for me

Folks just don't get it. I played on EQ private servers a bit, and know of a couple of folks who were removed from their guild, then later banned because they won an item fairly via the guilds DKP system. Blizzard will obviously do a much better job with Classic, and most of the private servers will die off.

it just keeps flowing.

Hey, I'm very happy with Retail AND Classic. But I'm also not immune to reality like you seem to be. Get over yourself dumdum, the only person salty thus far, is you. It's literally all over your face.

[Veggie50]

How many of those are level 120 characters? That 100k lowest pop server turns to 8k, the high pop 500k server turns to 44k. And how many are 120 alts. The numbers shrinks further. How many have logged in recently? Lots of metrics to keep shrinking the active player base.

I am more curious in active accounts, not how many accounts that haven't logged into wow in 10 years have 10 characters on a server.

Wow must be in an amazing spot then...

If there’s 500 servers with AT LEAST 100k people per server, thats more than 50 million people playing WoW.

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

Nope. Wrong. Try again troll.

https://realmpop.com/us.html

Even the smallest pop server has 100k people. hardly, "dead", but that doesn't fit what you're trying to push.

- - - Updated - - -



Wrong as well.



The lowest pop server is 100k people. That is a massive amount of players. While the highest pop servers are 500-600k. Again, hardly dead. You guys really need to try harder. Or you know, at least read because you say things that aren't true. Making yourselves look like idiots.

People / in game characters. 100k characters turn to 10-15k accounts/people

I don't get it... doesn't this equal more servers than what the game released with originally? If so, that's not so bad in any shape or form.



All of them?

There's a slider that shows 120's exclusively. Not trying to stop you in your quest to boost your ego by rationalizing away until reality fits your agenda, but just pointing out that the numbers shown can be for any level. 120 included.

Chaning level does not change server pop numbers

1. That's potentially the total number of characters CREATED, logged by a 3rd party statistic tracker that isn't able to track name changes (the only unique identifier for these things). These numbers have nothing to do with currently active accounts. The fact you even bring up this number as having any relevance of activity is just foolish.

2. Realms are merely separate world environments, they're not tied to physical machines like they were back in 2004. That is, 24 realms are not 24 servers. Plus, it's idiotic to try to tie the number of realms at launch to population limits imposed on a far more demanding game (live). It's even further idiotic to assume that if demand is higher than the AT LAUNCH environments can handle (whether technically or gameplay-wise), they couldn't just easily spin up new realms in mere minutes...

So, instead of being a toxic mess of a person that is only making the live community look even less appealing to be part of, perhaps just let people enjoy what they enjoy and stop using statistics and tech claims that you don't even understand?

Classic kids: "Classic is going to OVERTAKE Retail......Mark my words"


Blizzard releases 24 servers total for Classis.... Retail has 513.......




LOL thanks, classic kids. HAHAHA

Not saying you are wrong or right about the overtaking or not, but to compare it to retail realms is just absolutely stupid considering most of them are DEAD. They could shutdown so many of them and it would have barely any impact on the players as so few would be shuffled to another realm.

Oh, now I see it was a mistake to quote you. You're absolutely clueless if you believe there are 100k people playing on the dead realms LOL.

I agree the EU names are fucking terrible.
I'm surprised they didn't go for "Hogger", but maybe there's a Russian retail realm with that name already? Or Asian?

US gets simple, short or iconic names while the EU gets the opposit.

Keep in mind most of those 513 servers are completely dead and held together by cross-realm/CRZ

Thats still fine, but when you have 513 servers across the world, and your LOW END ones have 15k active players, that is still really really good. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Simpleton. OF course there aren't 100k active, and if you viewed the sliders on the website at all, you could see the disparity even further. But instead, you try to insult someone without ever actually doing any reading or inquiry yourself. Typical.

No one is saying that dead servers have 100k ACTIVE, but they have 100k+ UNIQUE characters made on those realms. With the website showing roughly 3.9+ million, ACTIVE 120 characters. Sure, some of those are the same account, same person with alts, easy conclusion to draw.

The point was, with only 24 classic realms, it will never take over retail, as all of those classic fanboys have talked about for the past year on this forum. Suck it nerd.

[glowpipe]

Water is wet, Here is another thing you guys can start fighting over and complain about.

Complaining about the server names ? really..

[MrLoque]

Any chanche MMOChampion will add a separate "Classic" section? Just like HOTS and Overwatch. I'd be glad to keep reading about the current WoW iteration without multiple Classic crossovers everywhere, to be honest. It's a completely different game, let's keep it... elsewhere?

[Tiwack]

Weird naming scheme but I guess there never was any. Just throwing darts/putting a tail on a donkey.
