US Connected realms update, now with RP realms
A new update has been posted for Connected realms in the US -- earlier this week several realms were reported as having no date set as of yet for their connection. The date has now been set for Thursday, January 30 for the following realms: Alleria and Khadgar Anvilmar and Undermine Archimonde and Agamaggan/Jaedenar/The Underbog Cho'gall and Auchindoun/Laughing Skull Eitrigg and Shu'halo Mok'Nathal and Silvermoon In addition to this list, another batch of realms scheduled for connection has been provided for Thursday, February 6, as well as a third set of connections slated for some point after that. The most interesting thing about the list, however, is not the connection dates, but the realm types -- RP realms are now officially on the list. Players on low-population RP realms may want to check the lists out, because you just might have some new friends to say hello to soon.
US Connected Realms update for January 21
Blizzard Community Representative Nethaera has updated the US-side Connected Realms post for January 21. It appears that all the connections slated for the 17th of January have completed successfully, and as we see below, the newly connected Agamaggan and Jaedenar will be joined with The Underbog this Thursday, January 23rd, along with these other connections: Alleria and Khadgar Altar of Storms and Anetheron/Magtheridon/Ysondre Misha and Rexxar Ner'zhul and Frostmane/Tortheldrin The Underbog and Agamaggan/Jaedenar The only notable item on this list is an absence -- Shu'halo and Eitrigg has been delayed yet again. It was posted on January 6 as upcoming, and therefore should have been connected in the subsequent January 17 batch, but was delayed and pushed to "upcoming" again. As we can see below, it's still in the "upcoming" section, for the third time. The next set of connections, which do not yet have a set date, are as follows:

US Connected Realms schedule updated with 15 new connections
Blizzard has updated the US realm connection schedule for the remainder of the year. In total, 15 more connections are slated to happen over the holiday season. If your realm is on this list, your capital cities are about to get a little more crowded.

This first batch of realms will be connected on Monday, December 16 during a scheduled maintenance from 6 a.m. PST to 11 a.m. PST: Andorhal and Scilla/Ursin Crushridge and Anub'arak/Chromaggus/Garithos/Nathrezim/Smolderthorn Icecrown and Malygos Quel'dorei and Sen'jin
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.
