New European Realms Coming Soon?
With the release of 8 new US servers this week, and two more coming next week, I'm wondering about the fate of our European colleagues. But never fear, European players! Community manager Thundgot has noted that, while the US servers were released earlier than anticipated, the European team still plans to roll out new server hardware in mid-April. Since April is fast approaching, you'd best get started planning your new character and setting up a guild website!
Two More US Realms on Monday
I imagine the server folks at Blizzard have had a hard week - because they've announced another two realms, transfer only, opening Monday. Players on the servers Shadowsong and Azjol-Nerub can transfer to Norgannon while players on the servers Alleria and Hellscream can transfer to Thrall. As usual, transfers are open from Monday to Friday, 3AM to 3PM PST, and the transfer period closes on Thursday, after which point normal character creation will be available.
Blizzard Rumored To Have Bought 1500 New Servers
Rahul Sood, President of VoodooPC, has rumored that Blizzard just purchased over 1500 new Opteron servers. If they did so, it is likely that they will be used in conjunction with the release of the Burning Crusade expansion. Now I really know nothing about servers, but according to the hype, these bad boys are "the business". It's exciting to see Blizzard making such a large investment in the future of WoW, and hopefully these new servers will make a noticeable difference.
