I'm wondering if Blizzard ever changes servers in their battlegroups?

No, for good reason. Each battlegroup is in it's own server-farm located somewhere in the country. There might be multiple battlegroups in one location, and that might be a possiblity, but MOST of them are across the country.

They just reorganized battlegroups.

Queues are faster and more frequent than they ever have been for randoms as well as BG's.


No, they don't do it often..YES, they JUST did it.

Any way to back that up? Not that I don't believe it, I just didn't realize they could do it.

I play on Wildhammer. Last night I got into a random dungeon and was in there with Earthen Ring guys. I ran plenty of random dungeons before this reorganization and I know that Earthen Ring was not in our BG

Figures. I swear my server only wins 10% of the BGs I play in. Was hoping maybe someone at Blizzard would occasionally rearrange things to keep the BGs more competitive.

Yah talehon, look at your info on your launcher for a change. 10/16 they reorganized 2 entire groups..

Also, I can tell you for sure that Retaliation and Nightfall are now "intermingled" when it comes to queues..even though the "group names" have not changed.


Its awesome. Login and queue up and see for yourself.

Edit: and also, form a Bg forum page..

The following realms are all a part of the Retaliation Battlegroup (List subject to change):

Area 52- Normal
Auchindoun- PvP
Azuremyst- Normal
Blade's Edge- Normal
Blood Furnace- PvP
Coilfang- PvP
Exodar- Normal
Shattered Halls- PvP
Terokkar- Normal
The Scryers- Normal
The Underbog- PvP
Velen- Normal
Zangarmarsh- Normal



The following realms are all a part of the Nightfall Battlegroup (List subject to change):

Aerie Peak- Normal
Altar of Storms- PvP
Alterac Mountains- PvP
Anvilmar-Normal
Arygos- Normal
Blackwing Lair- PvP
Deathwing- PvP
Demon Soul- PvP
Doomhammer- Normal
Gnomeregan- Normal
Icecrown- Normal
Jaedenar- PvP
Kel'Thuzad- PvP
Lethon- PvP
Onyxia- PvP
Sentinels- RP
Tanaris- Normal
The Venture Co- RP-PvP
Uldaman- Normal
Undermine- Normal


List subject to change...why would they disclaim that..if they never changed them?

I see people from ALL of these servers in randoms, and BG's..

Seems to me queues are longer for the horde anyway on lightbringer since the changes.

Were they "instant" beforehand?
