Quote:This is going to be interesting. I rerolled a character on Aman'Thul - one of the new Oceanic PVE realms. With Battlegroup 9, there is a clear effort to match realms in the Oceanic timezones (all the official Oceanic realms, plus Proudmoor and Blackrock, which were the unofficial Oceanic realms for a long time).

Oh, interesting. Tichondrius has a big aussie community, too, so that may be one reason Tich was included in this group.

Quote:The other downside is the dilution of the community aspect of playing against people on your own server. I'm levelling with a friend so when I'm on and he's not I go to the battlegrounds. There is such a small player pool in my bracket (30-39) that I get to know both the alliance and horde players who show up in every game. Seeing familiar faces is going to become a lot less frequent.

I have a feeling that after the initial "who the heck is that?" reaction during the first couple of weeks, people will start to get to know each other. 14-16 servers will be enough to have smooth battleground queues, but it isn't so big that you won't see the same faces if you play a reasonable amount. Also, since the 30-39 battleground community tends to be small as it is, that bracket will be even easier to get to know.

Quote:One certainty I can tell you: Teams are going to dominate pick-up groups even more than they do now.

But, there will be more pickup groups, too, so in between getting stomped by teams, you should find some good games.
