it's the only eastern pvp not listed as high pop currently.

LINK stating overpopulated

quote:

Based on name reservations so far, the Herod realm is looking to be massively overpopulated. If all existing players on this server remain there, login queues in excess of 10,000 players are a certainty, and possibly much higher than that. We recently opened up the Stalagg realm, and we urge players on Herod to consider moving there. There are a lot of players currently on Herod and we want Stalagg to fill up before we open any new PvP realms. This is so that player population is spread as evenly as possible before launch, in order to provide the best play experience. While we are able to fit several times more players on a single realm in 2019 than was the case in 2006, we are not going to raise that cap any further, even though we have the technical capacity to do so. Raising realm caps would simply forestall the problem, letting more players in at launch but creating an unsustainable situation down the line, with severe queues when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2 of our content unlock plan. Please also note that our realm population estimates of Low, Medium, High, and Full are based on this increased capacity – a Medium realm today already has more characters on it than even the most crowded realms did back in 2006. Our top priority in planning for WoW Classic’s launch has been ensuring that we are laying the groundwork for strong realm communities that will endure over the months and years to follow, which is why we’re cautiously opening new servers to meet demand.


I moved them over and hopefully they'll add more realms once this one evens out and I may delete/create again.


What is this phase 2 content unlock? is there a roadmap of everything in the works?

Yes. 6 phases. Zones/bosses, item drops, when PvP comes out, etc. They are trying to mimic classic as much as possible. You don’t want BWL (gear) to be out when first zoning MC/Onyxia/DM/etc

ETA: found this from a few days ago.... All 6 phase drops

You got to pay monthly for this? I haven't played since vanilla anyway so nothing will be different for me.

One sub gets you both games, so everyone who has retail can play classic. You wont be able to play full retail without buying the current expansion, but if you're just paying for classic then they're both the same.

There are naming rules. You won’t have that name for long.

Knew this was coming. This only further demonstrates how completely disconnected Blizzard got from their playerbase.

I might stay where I am but some dipshit on forums declared my realm as "conservative" so im pretty sure it will be filled with a bunch of prog trolls now.

2019 Blizzard isn't classic Blizzard. That's for sure.

I do sympathize with Blizzard here to a degree though. First of all, I think you will see a huge influx of players initially. I wouldn't be surprised if more people play classic WoW at least for a period of time than retail. It will drop off eventually though, and you'll see those servers merge together. That's not to say Classic WoW will die. I believe it will always have a core playerbase, but it won't be the huge ordeal that it is now.

You also have to look at it from the perspective of this is Blizzard finally admitting that, at least in some ways, their current product (the one current Blizzard had a hand in developing) is inferior to the old product. To a certain degree, the older the game gets, the harder it is to avoid this sentiment, but it's a tough pill for them to swallow all the same.

So ill wait til about an hour before launch and see if skeram is still medium and possibly switch. If i wasn't 3 miles from the atlantic id consider rolling on a pac realm. May even consider a PvE with hopes of char transfer later. I do not want to be in que longer than 45 min. If its too terrible ill just cancel my days off tues and wed.
