If it’s like they say, that they expect 80% drop off. Each server should have 5 layers and 15 000 players. This will make the server end at 3000 active players once all layers are merged.
Since we have 12 servers that would mean there is room for 180 000 players given that they all spread out evenly (which they wont).
This seems to be a very conservative number of servers imo. 
We need way more servers for en-pvp!
Anyone perhaps know where the servers will be located…?
why? I play on PvE, not on PvP
Blizzard, this really isn’t enough. 6k queues for a stress test on the two PvP servers you put up and you think 2 PvP servers are enough for release? The queues will be insane. Stop being cheap and prepping for this to fail! We need 2 more English PvP realms and another pve
I have a feeling that 2 PVP servers won’t be enough
The dribbling amount of PvP servers actually, scrap that - the amount of servers altogether for the EU seems to show that Blizzard lack confidence in their product, which in turn, as a customer, gives me no confidence at all.
Fingers crossed they will have the time to rectify this should they have to
This is very true and also very alarming - BLIZZARD PLEASE LISTEN!
I dont think u ever played Classic.
Classic is about Community, It isnt about having people around u 24/7 no matter what zone u are in.
Classic is about everyone knowing who everyone is.
Everyone know who the ninja looters are, or who the Top pvp’ers are etc.
Having megaservers with 20k+ people will just become an unknown troll haven with no real community.
There is no way, 2 pvp servers for all EU is enough. Massive queues to get in. No way to Rank up, farming Mats will be hell. Please blizzard add more servers!
Hey CZ/SK comunity follow us to Shazzrah server. Motion is back at Aliance side. And I hope that Black Division and others will follow us.
Yeah and it will be awesome to have wasted 2 weeks sub to reserve name in advance on 2 servers. then during release day 5 more servers get released and name reservation is wasted since majority have to swap server again where they didnt even have chance to reserve names on.
@Pinkylarue: Actually, the “opening bid” turned out be rather like some people predicted. 
Given that precreation begins Tuesday, Blizzard has plenty of time to make additional adjustments before launch.
@Trelw: I really hope you’re right! But I fail to understand the small amount of servers when people are screaming out for language specific servers (And I support this 100%) - I guess that they will see their huge mistake
There will be more realms on release day I am 100% certain.
Please change Zandalar Tribe realm name!
its just a server name… come on xD
Can’t say I am too excited about the English/poly-glot Realm Names…Hydraxian Waterlords seems quite the mouthfull.
Some personal suggestions:
Parvink
Sprysprocket
Verigan
Yes please rename the Servers into: Mimimi, QQ and who cares!
@Pinkylarue: I am not sure, if you are aware of this, but US region got 13 total, 2 of them Oceanic… and entire China, if what I read is correct, opens up with total of 8 realms. So Blizzard is keeping their hand very close to their chest across the globe.
There is also the additional matter of language specific servers altering the region internal balancing. German and French support realms are going to have player bases almost purely consisting of people, who are able to communicate in those specific languages. I am working on EU region population related post, but it is sufficienlty complicated to have already taken me couple of days and I need to consider making a separate thread for it, (when and IF I manage to finish it at all) as it would be relevant to at least 5 different currently open threads, including this one…
