Starting , players with an active subscription or game time on their World of Warcraft account can reserve their character names by creating up to three WoW Classic characters. Please note that all of your characters on a PVP realm must be the same faction.

Before creating a character, you’ll choose the realm where you want to play that character. Realms in the Americas will be:

Name Type Time Zone Ashkandi Normal Eastern Atiesh Normal Pacific Azuresong Normal Pacific Mankrik Normal Eastern Myzrael Normal Pacific Old Blanchy Normal Pacific Pagle Normal Eastern Westfall Normal Eastern Windseeker Normal Eastern

Name Type Time Zone Benediction PvP Eastern Bigglesworth PvP Pacific Blaumeux PvP Pacific Faerlina PvP Eastern Fairbanks PvP Pacific Herod PvP Eastern Incendius PvP Eastern Kirtonos PvP Eastern Kurinaxx PvP Pacific Kromcrush PvP Eastern Rattlegore PvP Pacific Skeram PvP Eastern Smolderweb PvP Pacific Stalagg PvP Eastern Sulfuras PvP Eastern Thalnos PvP Eastern Thunderfury PvP Pacific Whitemane PvP Pacific

Name Type Time Zone Bloodsail Buccaneers RP Eastern Deviate Delight RP-PvP Eastern Grobbulus RP-PvP Pacific

Oceanic realms will be:

Name Type Time Zone Arugal PvP Australian Eastern Time Felstriker PvP Australian Eastern Time Remulos Normal Australian Eastern Time Yojamba PvP Australian Eastern Time

Relative realm population will be visible in-game to help in choosing a realm so you will see Low, Medium, or High in the realm selection screen. If there are high numbers of players congregating on individual realms during name reservation and character creation, we will post warnings about the potential for queues on those realms, giving you time to choose alternate realms.
