90 #12 done, all 11 classes +1 extra dk

Grats, you crazy person!

I have an 88 druid I can't muster the desire to finish leveling and with my other 85s maxed on professions I have no desire to level them either!

Done som serious leveling US side! For some reason the LFD tool is way more pleasant over there.

Im a bit hesitant cause i think your sample size is a bit to low.

Probably. It was really pleasant until level 70 or so, then I got some really bad groups occasionally. I guess it was more of a low level thing than region thing.

And quite often you get people who speak absolutely no English (Latin Americans?) - that barely ever happens EU side. Doesn't mean they're bad or antyhing, but it makes communication difficult. o.O

This is America, we speak American!

Yep - expect more of this, though it seems to vary based on play time. Sometimes you find someone in the group who can and is willing to translate to help.

Though part of me does really want to meet someone who decides to speak French... usually it's Spanish or Portugese.

Not a fan of endgame content?

If you can wait until 5.4 you can probably have more like 33 characters per coalesced realm, unless you play on a high pop server.

at one point i was raiding on 2 different toons, and i am still a raiding tank on my dk
plus i am VP capped on 2 toons, and spent yesterday leveling my warrior
i just have ADD/OCD and tend to play a lot of different toons, and it drives me nuts seeing toons close to level cap

wait we get 33 slots per realm? O.O
afaik Terenas is a low pop, so yay! time to start a priest! ...but what race...hmmm

[Amirya]

Virtual realms, sir.

[Newsom]

No but say 3 realms get coalesced with virtual realms, you can have 11 chars per "real" realm that can all trade and mail each other, join the same guild, use the same AH, etc. I hope you don't have OCD about filling a realm.

lol not normally

and somehow i completely spaced on realms being combined

i wonder if you can invite people from other realms to your guild if you are both in the same combined realm

[Amirya]

I asked that same question in the 5.4 thread, and was told yes.

It would appear yes.

The only thing we really don't know is how the realms will be picked for merger. Biggest question, what happens to a severly imbalanced realm that is high-pop? Will it be merged with an opposite one?

[Newsom]

They said you could join guilds on merged realms, which is also why I'm assuming it will be a permanent merge.

Yeah, we just don't know how they are gonna select servers, and how many might be paired.

The funny thing is I got shouted down here several months ago when I said that CRZ meant that they were doing virtual servers now, which allowed for that kind of pairing. This only confirms it. Remember when they were selling those server blades? Those were the last of the "real" realm servers, it's been all virtual since then.
