(...OP updated with the latest "additions".)

"All hail the realm of our new PvP Overlords... Bigglesworth!!!" :D
August 26, 2019 10:00 AM PST, (19:00 CEST) We will remove the limitation on only creating a total of three WoW Classic characters per WoW account. Thereafter, players will be able to create up to 10 characters per Classic realm, for a total of 50 characters across all Classic realms per WoW account.
Additionally, at this time, based on their expected population and queues, we strongly advise people to move off the following realms:
  • NA
    • Herod – PvP
    • Faerlina – PvP
    • Whitemane – PvP
  • EU
    • Shazzrah – PvP
    • Golemagg – PvP
If you are currently planning to play on one of these realms, you should expect extremely long queue times that take several hours to get through.

Im pretty impressed how full every option is... except they might be counting each character, not each account.

Now that we can have all 50 I bet there's just tons of reserving going on. So hard to get ANY name now... o_O
 
Anyone not see Blizz screwing this up from the jump? Anyone? Raise your hand
I didn’t, seemed like a smooth launch to me for how many players are trying to play.

I did play on the PvE server which didn’t have a high pop so that did help :D
 
I’ve been in a login queue for 6-7 hours now ☹️
 
(...OP updated with the latest "additions".)

(...I've also re-ordered each section to be "reverse-chronological", because the sheer magnitude
of Blizzard's fucking incompetence had made finding the newest-realms somewhat inconvenient.
) :rolleyes:

NEW REALM POPULATION LABEL SYSTEM

With a hotfix to WoW Classic a few moments ago, we’ve changed how the realm population labels work in order to display realm populations in a more meaningful way.

How it worked before this hotfix

As we explained here, the system previously calculated the population labels by comparing all realms to the most-populated realm. This could result in a very crowded realm (with a lengthy queue) showing up as “Medium”, since it was being compared to the realm that had the highest population and a potentially massive queue.

How population labels work now

This system now measures each realm against a realm’s absolute capacity. Medium indicates a healthy total population on a realm – well in excess of what we considered Full in a 2006 – with room for more players to log-in. You’ll now see a High label if the realm is close to having a queue, and a Full label if the realm currently has a queue.

(...OP updated with "yet even more" US Realms.)

They gave us a little advance-notice this time: Fresh PvP-Realms today at 6pm(PDT)/9pm(EDT)...
 
Imagine every new realm as a fresh possibility to speedrun to 60 :p


Also, their intial strategy of early pain for long gain (queues but thriving servers later on) seems to be now scrapped? They're adding realms left and right, and I'm not sure if they're needed. To me (maybe I'm wrong) it seems like we both got queue pain and the new servers will be very low pop.

Got a sneaking suspicion we'll see free xfers and server consolidation in the future
 
Where can I check the release date of the realms?
I'd imagine that there will eventually be a list on WoWpedia, but it hasn't happened yet... For now, you'd have to search for Blizzard's announcements on the official forums.

What are the latest released realms EU for example?
I've organized each Region in "reverse-chronological" order... so the "newest" realms will be first.

Bloodfang-EU and Judgement-EU just opened three days ago, for example. ;)
 
(...OP updated with the upcoming US/EU "transfer" Realms, since they will eventually be open to new characters as well.)
[...] free character moves will become available in this region very soon. When these free character moves open, player-characters at any level will be able to move:

From -> To
  • Arugal -> Felstriker
  • Faerlina -> Heartseeker (new realm)
  • Stalagg -> Heartseeker (new realm)
  • Herod -> Earthfury (new realm)
  • Skeram -> Earthfury (new realm)
  • Incendius -> Netherwind
  • Thalnos -> Netherwind
  • Fairbanks -> Arcanite Reaper (new realm)
  • Whitemane -> Arcanite Reaper (new realm)
  • Bigglesworth -> Anathema
  • Pagle -> Windseeker
  • Grobbulus -> Deviate Delight
For approximately one day, the new realms will be restricted to only those players using a free character move. After one day, any player may create new characters there. [...]
