World of Warcraft<\/em> is an MMORPG that simply can\u2019t house its large community on one server. So, to accommodate all players burning with the desire to prove themselves in Azeroth, Blizzard Entertainment created PvP, PvE, and RPPvP realms that easily meet the needs of different types of players. Although realms like RPPVP realms are slightly less popular in the general WoW<\/em> community and see a gradual decline over the years, they still have dedicated residents that return with a smile on their faces.<\/p>
Although you\u2019re free to choose a realm to your liking, the popularity of realms can greatly impact your gameplay largely because of the server-wide economy, faction disbalances, and potentially lack of dungeon and raid groups. While retail players enjoy the cross-realm benefits such as cross-realm auction house, Arena and Mythic+ queues, and guild groups, the Classic<\/em> players can only play together with the players in the same realm. So, approaching the realm selection process in WoW<\/em> with caution would be the best practice. <\/p>
On top of all of this, Classic <\/em>players have an even harder time when selecting a realm since Blizzard regularly launches fresh realms with every upcoming Classic<\/em> expansion. Wrath of the Lich King Classic<\/em> is, by no means, an exception to this rule, with the North American and European regions receiving two realms, respectively. While the North American servers launched with the pre-patch on Aug. 30<\/a> are Skyfury (PvP) and Maladath (Normal), the European region can enjoy Thekal (PvP) and Giantstalker (Normal). So, the question is should you join the hype train and roll a character on a fresh server, or should you stick to your old server?<\/p>
