New realms for US and EU players

Yep, you heard me right. Today has brought news of four new US realms and one new English-language EU realm. US players have their pick of Misha (PvE, PST, Whirlwind), Ravenholdt (RP-PvP, ET, Whirlwind), Bladefist (PvE, PST, Whirlwind), and Maiv (PvP, PST, Whirlwind). European players hoping for a fresh start can look towards the new Burning Steppes realm (PvP, Nightfall). While there's no further details on the US front, CM Thundgot tells EU players that they should expect several new realms opening up when the expansion launches -- and thus they shouldn't hope for more new realms before then.Filed under: Realm News, Realm Status, News items

Damnit Blizzard, stop opening up new realms when existing realms are terribly underpopulated!

@ #2) Agreed. There's no reason for it. Open up free transfers to get people off the crowded ones, and onto the low pop ones.

And don't add RP realms, only spreads out the RP Community. Better have a free transfer from RP-PvP to PvP and RP-PvE to PvE for every RP realm all the time or something like that, could help out a lot for the non-rolelayers that accidently rolled there.

You all do realize Blizz probably knows how many customers of theirs are inactive at this time. Come TBC, I'm certain we'll see subscriber numbers jump to nearly 10 million within 1 month of release. We'll need new servers to help offset the load - probably will see Blizz offer free transfers to all of these new servers they've opened up in the last couple of months. Now, one area that does need new servers are the Oceanic. They've seen some loving, but I think they need a couple more.
