If You Want To Enter the WOW You Must Select a Realm
If you want to enter the World of Warcraft you must select a realm—sometimes referred to as a server. Each realm acts as an individual copy of the World of Warcraft world, and falls into one of four categories. Realms are either player versus player (PvP), where open combat among players is more common, or player versus environment (PvE), where the game play is more focused on defeating monsters and completing quests. Role-play (RP) and role-play (PvP) (RP-PVP) variants of both primary realm types are also available. Realms are also categorized by language, with in-game support in the language available. Players can make new characters on all realms, and it is also possible to move already established characters between realms for a fee.
