TBC Release Realms

Posted by Stropp on January 15, 2007

Drysc posted the following information on the official forums regarding the new realms that will be released with The Burning Crusade expansion.

We’ll be launching the following six realms with the release of The Burning Crusade expansion on January 16, at 12:01 AM EST.


Nagrand - PvE, Oceanic - Bloodlust battlegroup


Velen - PvE, Pacific


Coilfang - PvP, Pacific


Terokkar - PvE, Central


Exodar - PvE, Eastern


Auchindoun - PvP, Eastern


The majority of these realms will be placed in a new battlegroup, the name of which has yet to be announced. These are new non-transfer realms and as such the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj will be closed and they will not be open to character transfers for six months.

As I posted the other day, there is a new Oceanic realm that will be added at this time which is good news for us overcrowded antipodeans.

The other good news is that these realms will not be open to transfers for six months. While this doesn’t take as much pressure off the existing servers, players who don’t mind starting anew will find a nice clean economy waiting for them. Prices will be low and everything will be shiny. Blood elves and Draenei will abound.
