A bluepost today has confirmed the names and release dates of the “Fresh Start” realms for WotLK Classic.

The servers will be Skyfury for the North American region, and Thekal for the European region. These realms will be released August 30th and August 31st respectively, alongside the WotLK Classic pre-patch.

Interestingly, these realms are both PvP. This means that anyone looking to play on the Fresh Start realms will be playing on a PvP server. With only one realm per region, this could provide a lot of world PvP opportunities that are not present in most current realms.

Blizzard has previously clarified a few of the specifics of Fresh Start realms: players will not be able to create a Death Knight on these realms unless they already have a level 55 character on the same realm. In addition, boosts and realm transfers will be locked for at least 90-days.

I love MMOs of all shades, especially the nitty gritty numbers parts of them. You might recognize me from the Shadow Priest discord, otherwise I play a little bit of everything, especially games with support roles available.
