More US Connected Realms on the way
Blizzard has just announced another two batches of US connected realms, and has provided a time table for the previously announced connected realms. If you see your realm on this list and don't know what a connected realm is, it essentially connects two realms so they behave as one. You can join guilds, enjoy a fuller auction house, and run raids with each other. If you have the same character name or guild name as someone from your connected realm, you will both be able to keep using your names.
The realms below are scheduled to be connected on Monday, November 4:
Haomarush and Detheroc/Dethecus/Blackwing Lair
Stonemaul and Bloodscalp/Maiev/Boulderfist/Dunemaul
Daggerspine and Aegwynn/Hakkar
Tortheldrin and Frostmane
Dentarg and Whisperwind
Check after the break for the next two batches of connected realms.
