Mixed feelings on this. I get wanting to have one server for each, and making an RPPvP server will somewhat split the community. We’ll get a smaller subset of people interested in the PRPvP experience that classic has become famous for, but then we get a “greener grass” effect and the server will likely slowly shrink as people leak to the “main megaserver” where everybody is.
At the same time, I just really want an RPPvP server, and think it would be WAY harder to find that sort of experience on a regular pvp megaserver.

RP servers would with the mono-server set-up Blizz is rolling out only serve as overflow for impatient, entitled players not wanting a queue on launch.
In a MMORPG game RP should be the norm, nort the exception.

There is RP server in Era which is kind of fresh because it’s really low population. There was a movement to revive it at some point.
They said they’re open to adding RP realms if the community shows enough demand. In original classic, there was going to be no RPPVP realm either, but the community managed to convince blizzard otherwise

RP server is needed. It’s unique and even for those who don’t rp it’s a great immersion. People are more kind in general on RP server as well.

It’s Warcraft 20th Anniversary, what do you expect. For Blizzard to thank and accommodate its die-hard old timer playerbase ???
No, the only thing that matters is money, and for them to provide the least amount of effort possible.

It really is NUTS after the whole Ibelin movie that they don’t even mention roleplay in any form. ZT and HW were amazing before blizzard decimated them with threatening to close them and adding free transfers.
