The World of Warcraft team is excited to introduce the opening of three brand new realms! Cho'gall (PvP), Kael'thas (PvE), and Kirin Tor (RP-PvE) will be available to newcomers beginning their journey in Azeroth for the first time, and players who wish to start anew on a fresh new realm. All are welcome! Here is an opportunity for players to pioneer their way into untrodden territory, to shape the balance of power between the Horde and the Alliance, to make their make their mark on Azeroth!
To seek out these new realms, login into World of Warcraft and look for the "New" label in the Population column. We hope you enjoy, and see you in the game!

Folks, we honestly wouldn't be opening up these realms if we didn't need the capacity. With the lowest population (which is still Medium) realms receiving new players through the transfer service, the "low population" problem on them will be relieved.

Q u o t e:
warsong is down, we are having infinite queues and lags and crashes, we cant play and you are bringing up new servers when there are still low pops. Speak nonsense much?
Warsong's transfers begin in approximately eight hours. If you are unhappy with the performance of your realm, you are welcome to transfer off.
The low population realms will be relieved with said transfers.
Our server team is working to alleviate the issues cropping up tonight, but that does not mean we do not need the capacity provided by these new realms. On the contrary.
I speak sense from where I stand, in point of fact.

The problem with the choice is it isn't nearly as controlled as this situation -- far more things can go awry in a realm transfer with choices when you're attempting to alleviate server overpopulation. That is why the realm transfers are straight 1-1 shots.
Ideally we would have offered transfers within the same time zones, but there were no low population realms available in the respective time zones. I understand that some of you would prefer to transfer onto fresh realms, but through this system we allieviate both low and high population issues at once.

Q u o t e:
huh? open up more transfers to the EXTREMELY low pop servers, this seems incredibly obvious....
my server and many others are already very low in population and will get far worse now that you have released new servers, maybe if you had OPEN TRANSFERS TO OTHER LOW POP REALMS i wouldnt be so pissed, but thats obviously not the case.
There are no realms below medium population based on our internal numbers.

Q u o t e:
Erm, those numbers include all the alts and alts of alts and all the farmer alts? Shouldn't you guys look at the number of people online at peak time instead?
That's precisely what we're looking at. With all due respect, please give us more credit than that. :) "Population" refers to the average number of players online at peak time.

Q u o t e:
The fact that you claim to agree with this idiocy causes me to lose a great deal of respect for you, Caydiem. Frostmane has been absolutely ravaged by the transfer, and our faction balance and performance issues, never mind the economical and social aspects of the server have not, and never will, recover.
I am a representative of Blizzard Entertainment, Totembag. Unless I specify otherwise (using "I" and other such indicators) I am giving the stance of the company.
We have taken steps to ensure that what occurred on your realm will not occur again, and are monitoring Frostmane closely still. If the time comes to act for your realm, we will.

I am calling myself someone with access to internal numbers of realm population. I've seen them with my own eyes. I know well how many players are on at peak, and (aside from the new realms, naturally) there is no one realm below what is termed medium population at peak.

are you able to post these figures to players creating new characters on new realms? would help alleviate population imbalance as people want to be the underdogs and balance servers, rather that relying on 3rd party sites which do include alts and inactives

Q u o t e:
Cay, You guys need to seriously look at the population active. Alot of servers have a high pop accoutns, but the active players is low.
Spirestone the server i come from has the lowest population, and at peak times it is always at a low population. You cannot say we need the new relems because players know that we don't.
For the past 5 sserver transfers Spirestone been ignored time and time again. For being great to people and players yet you ignore them and open new pops based on high pop complaints.
What really needs to be done is to allow high pop a choice between certain servers not just one.
Also can you please at at SPirestones numbers and come back here and post that it med population. Cause it never is and wde loose people everyday due to this, new servers and the lack of a transfer to this server.
I've already stated that we're looking at active players, not total characters or accounts.

Q u o t e:
Caydiem - why not make one of these new servers a PVP server with a new ruleset? So many people have been wanting a more "hardcore" ruleset with PVP death penalties (exp loss, item loot etc), possibly Free for all, that excludes battlegrounds for the more "hardcore" pvpers. Why not offer a new server for the growing number of players in support of a server like this. I've seen countless threads supporting such a server, why not give it a shot?
Because that requires coding an entirely different PvP system; we have no plans to implement a "hardcore" realm at this time.
