WOW Emberstorm Battlegroup : World of Warcraft General Discussions

Drysc adds some insight about the Emberstorm Battlegroup...

The Emberstorm battlegroup was never intended to be a battlegroup where only new realms would be created, and I do sincerely apologize if you were assuming that that was the case.

Battlegroups function within a set of realm hardware, as we open new realms they will exist as part of a whole set of realms. Think of it as an "egg crate" there are a dozen spaces (more for our realm sets obviously) which exist as one battlegroup. As we fill in those slots with eggs (new realms) they are all connected as one group. This limitation is necessitated by how our realm infrastructure is designed. We don't arbitrarily add realms to specific battlegroups, they are placed as space is available. In the most recent case there happened to be a few spots of room on some of the older realm sets, and the remainder spilled over into the only room we had.

Thanks
