New European server, Blade's Edge, opens today [Updated]

by Daniel Whitcomb Jul 9th 2008 at 5:30AM

The Ruin Battlegroup of the European servers will be getting a new English language PvE server named Blade's Edge, Thundgot has announced.

It will be a completely new realm, which means no transfers allowed for the first few months. In addition, the Ahn'Qiraj gates will be closed -- which means this is your chance to get a group over there and start powerleveling toward the Qiraji battle tank and the Scarab Lord title. Apparently, some people have been complaining about queue times in the Ruin battlegroup for some time, so hopefully this should ease those problems once people get on and start leveling.

The server will open today at 17:00 Paris time. Good luck to everyone who decides to reroll there!

Update: Strike that, it looks like they decided to let the it go live right after maintenance. Thanks for the heads up, Roelof.

The problem of Ruin Battlegroup is that is only 4 realms that compose it, and only two are PvP, so is so little people entering for bg's that it takes hours and hours to enter to a decent bg... good thing i forsake that battlegroup.

Coolio, I might roll a new char there just to see what its like, It will be strange to think that no-ones even gone as far as booty bay :\

The best thing about it is that AQ gates are still closed there. Only if I was capable of such levels of no-lifing required to complete that chain... Well, good luck to the ones that will be going for the (best) title and mount in WoW :)

I wonder if this will save ruin (most appropriately named bg?!)

Just have a look at their BG forum, it's so depressing.

its a new server that is simply tainted by the fact ruin is a dead battle group, all of the 4 servers have a few hanging on the pvp side isn't just 2 servers though the Rppvp realms are more active than the pvp realms are tbh. its an issue thats been going on for over a year without any sign of it being fixed
