World of Warcraft Classic: Names of the German realms presented
Blizzard is bringing back "World of Warcraft: Classic" at the end of August. The German realms have been announced today. What's more, players can now reserve up to three character names.
As of today, the realms for the upcoming "World of Warcraft: Classic" are known: "Everlook" (Normal) and "Lucifron" (PvP). In addition, players with an active subscription or with game time on their "World of Warcraft" account can reserve up to three character names. To do this, they simply have to create a character on the corresponding server. On PvP servers, however, only characters from a single faction are accepted, as Blizzard reports in its forum .
Stink from the Community
This morning's news from Blizzard has not only caused the Community to jump for joy. Although further realms are planned in English, French and Russian - including the role-playing PvP realm "Zandalar Tribe" - two German servers are not enough for German-speaking players. In addition, there would be no role-playing server in German.
Community Manager Toschayju, meanwhile, assures us that Blizzard is closely monitoring the development of the server population in order to open more realms if necessary. After all, nothing ruins the gaming experience of an MMORPG - Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game - as quickly as empty cities and a lack of raid players.
What you need to know about "WoW: Classic"
"World of Warcraft: Classic" was announced almost two years ago at Blizzcon 2017. The servers with the classic WoW version will go online worldwide on Tuesday, 27 August at 00:01 CET. Players do not need to purchase an additional plan. The game will be based on patch 1.12, "Drums of War". The patch was originally released on 22 August 2006.
Of course, Horde noob and fellow editorial team member Phil will be doing a Let's Play as soon as the servers go live. Probably a pitiful attempt at Castle Shadowfang, assuming a tank can be found. Or something else he's totally not good at. Depends on how long it takes him to pull a character to about level 20. Certainly a long time. Would look very different if he was an alliance player.
Well. Have fun in the wasteland chat, is all I can say.

I’ve always wanted to say: «I am Groot.»
