Today, World of Warcraft: Classic community manager Kaivax made a post on the official Blizzard forums warning players of unprecedented levels of server capacity regarding the Classic PvP realm, Herod. In the post, Kaivan warns that, based on the initial name reservations, Herod is going to be "massively overpopulated".
To remedy this problem, Blizzard is suggesting that some World of Warcraft Classic players scoot over to the Stalagg realm which was opened up not long ago. “We recently opened up the Stalagg realm, and we urge players on Herod to consider moving there,” Blizzard said. “There are a lot of players currently on Herod and we want Stalagg to fill up before we open any new PvP realms. This is so that player population is spread as evenly as possible before launch, in order to provide the best play experience.”
“Our top priority in planning for WoW Classic’s launch has been ensuring that we are laying the groundwork for strong realm communities that will endure over the months and years to follow,” Jordan says.
It should be noted that WoW’s current servers can fit many more players in a single realm than what was possible back in 2006. Today’s Medium realm already has more characters than the most crowded realms in 2006. However, Blizzard says it will not be raising the population cap any further as that “would simply forestall the problem,” and create severe queues later on.
