The server you pick matters in The Burning Crusade Classic .
In retail World of Warcraft , you can get by on pretty much any server, despite its low or high population. Servers are seamlessly linked together, connecting battle groups, dungeons, and in some cases raids, guilds, and auction houses as one.
But in Classic , you’re heavily restricted to your server. You can’t play with friends from other servers or factions, or switch between battle groups. Once you’ve chosen a server, you’re stuck with it—unless, of course, you fork out $25 for a transfer.
Choosing a server makes a difference in Classic , so picking one and sticking with it should be your first plan of action when playing the game for the first time. Here’s the full list of TBC Classic servers, their populations, and faction distributions.
