World of Warcraft announces possibility of cross-server group


Whoever likes MMOs know they are much more fun with friends around. In World of Warcraft is like that, but things in life, sometimes one friend who took you so long to convince you to follow the adventures of Azeroth decides to start playing, but on another server.


The Real ID Battle.net functionality, introduced some time ago, came to break this barrier, at least chat. It was possible to talk to players who had his Real ID, even though they were from another faction or another server. Only social interaction ended there. It was not possible, in fact, play with them.

A new feature promises to change that. Blizzard Entertainment announced that a tool still in the development process will allow, from the Real ID, characters from the same faction, but from different servers, may enter the queue in a group of five players to dungeons.

The service still has no release date set for and by all indications should be paid extra, as published by Nethaera, Community Manager on the official forums of World of Warcraft, "How to develop a complex functionality, we still have no date expected release, but it is important to clarify that as well as other services offered, the system of group formation between servers for Friends of the Real ID is a premium service, but only the player who invite other players to group needs access to this service "

More information will be released soon and the few details of the system will appear in the test servers.
