Updates on US Connected Realms

By now, several US realms have been successfully connected with Blizzard's new Connected Realms feature. In case you've been out of the loop, Blizzard released an update in regards to the new feature, which seamlessly connects two realms so that they'll behave as one. That means players on realms that are connected can join the same guilds, use one Auction House, and run raids and dungeons with each other -- a pretty big bonus for realms that have been suffering from lower populations. The list of successfully connected realms is as follows:

  • Auchindoun and Laughing Skull

  • Black Dragonflight and Skullcrusher

  • Aegwynn and Gurubashi

  • Balnazzar and Warsong

  • Burning Blade and Onyxia

  • Chromaggus and Garithos

  • Dalvengyr and Dark Iron

  • Dethecus and Detheroc

  • Dunemaul, Maiev, Boulderfist and Bloodscalp

  • Hakkar and Aegwynn

  • Rivendare and Firetree

It's a sizeable list -- but if your realm wasn't on the list, not to worry. Blizzard is revving up for more realm connections, and soon. Two new batches of realm connections are on the way, and the first batch of connections will be taking place on Monday, October 28.

Next Realm Connections

We plan to progress with two additional batches with the first batch connecting on Monday, October 28. These realms will be down for maintenance from 6:00 a.m. PDT through approximately 11:00 a.m. PDT and will be complete once made live.

Batch 1 Once determined, dates and times for the next batch will be provided in the General Forum and in-game breaking news.

Batch 2 Plans for these connections may change at any time, but we'll provide additional updates on specific dates for future connections here as we can. Please note that as a part of the connection process realm times may change to match each other. For more information on Connected Realms, please read the preview blog post here.

  • Blackwing Lair and Detheroc/Dethecus

  • Anub'arak and Chromaggus/Garithos

  • Drak'Tharon and Firetree/Rivendare

  • Blood Furnace and Mannaroth

  • Nesingwary and Vek'nilash

  • Haomarush and Detheroc/Dethecus/Blackwing Lair

  • Stonemaul and Bloodscalp/Maiev/Boulderfist/Dunemaul

  • Tortheldrin and Frostmane

  • Winterhoof and Kilrogg

  • Gul'dan and Skullcrusher

  • Lightning's Blade and Burning Blade



Maiev, Dunemaul, Bloodscalp and Boulderfist can expect a new addition to the quad of realms with the connection of Stonemaul. In addition, there are other connections that will be seeing the introduction of another new realm or two. For players on realms in the first batch listed, expect some downtime on Monday, and a host of new faces when the servers go live. As for the second batch, while there isn't a date set yet for the connections, Blizzard will provide that information once it becomes available.
