Connected Realms | WoWWiki
Connected Realms (previously known as ‘Virtual Realms’)[1] are a joining of realms, where players from different realms function as though they were full members of any of the other connected realms, and whose players can persist with you in any zone you go into. Members of connected realms can trade gold, trade items, and share the same auction house. Players in a connected realm who are really members of another Realm, are marked with a #. These differ from the more temporary Coalesced Realms, in that these joinings are constant and share persistence.

Connected Realms
Connected Realms (also called “Virtual Realms”)[2] is a new feature that was to be implemented for Patch 5. 4, but not activated until some time after the patch launched. [3] Connected realms were supposed to be essentially several fairly low population servers merged into one, they will be able to interact with the other players as though they were on the same realm. Unlike Cross-realm zones the player’s server name will not appear alongside their name in the game world, but only in chat. [3]
In practice, Blizzard has often mixed medium to high population realms with low population realms.

FAQ
Note: This is a generic section stub. You can help expand it by clicking Edit to the right of the section title.
Q. Why are you implementing Connected Realms?
A. As WoW has evolved, we’ve seen players naturally gravitate toward a subset of very active realms, leaving behind lower-populated realms. Due to the massively multiplayer nature of World of Warcraft, certain kinds of gameplay experiences simply aren’t well-suited to a low-pop realm. By allowing players from two or more lower-pop realms to play together, we hope to give more players more opportunities to participate in group-oriented activities, helping to foster a more vibrant in-game community.
Connected Realms also allow us to link populations in a way that’s not disruptive to players, and that doesn’t negatively impact players’ sense of identity and character. Other alternatives such as merging realms would require us to force character name changes if there were conflicts, and could lead to confusion for returning players who’d log in to find their realm missing from the realm list. Some players also feel strong ties to their realm’s name or history, and we don’t want to erase that.
Q. Why implement this now?
A. Our cross-realm technology has continued to evolve since it was first developed for joining players in dungeons. It’s now at a point where we can create seamless worlds made up of multiple individual realms, and we think there are some really positive benefits to that.
Q. How can I tell if someone is on my Connected Realm, but from a different realm?
A. We want the experience to feel seamless so we won’t be indicating player’s home realms in the game world. In certain places, such as chat, players’ home realms will be displayed next to their name.
Q. Which realms will be connected as Connected Realms?
A. We haven’t decided yet which realms will be made part of a Connected Realm, or which other realms they’ll be connected to, though realms will only be connected to other realms of the same type (e. g. PvE to PvE, PvP to PvP, RP to RP). In the end, we’re considering a number of factors, including Battlegroup, population, and faction balance.
Q. How many realms will make up a Connected Realm?
A. We don’t know how many realms will make up a Connected Realm yet, and it’s likely to differ from Connected Realm to Connected Realm. Our goal is to create a vibrant and fun online experience where you can join guilds, access an active Auction House, and band together to take on group content.
Q. Will Connected Realms have any limitations?
A. There should be no limitations. We want the experience to be seamless, and we expect it work as if you’re suddenly part of a much more active realm.
Q. When will Connected Realms be available?
A. We haven’t yet determined when we’ll be creating the first Connected Realms, but we expect it will be some time after the launch of Patch 5. 4.
Unofficial FAQ
Q. Can you mail items between characters on Connected Realms?
A. Yes. This has been tested by WoWWiki users. See “A Guide to Cross-Realm Mailing” in the External links section for how to enter destination character name and realm. This similar to how you can mail Bind to Account items across realms, but also applies for Bind on Equip and Bind on Use items between Connected Realms.
Virtual Realms
This was the original name for Connected Realms[1] and was slated to be a part of Patch 5. 4, but was apparently renamed and delayed until some time after the launch of the patch.
From the PTR patch notes:[7]
Virtual Realms are sets of realms that are fused together, and will behave exactly as if they were one cohesive realm. Players on the same Virtual Realm will be able to join guilds, access a single Auction House, join arena teams and raids, as well run dungeons or group up to complete quests.
Players belonging to the same Virtual Realm will have a (#) symbol next to their name.

Velen NA US – RaidBuff
Velen is a connected realm in the North American region for retail World of Warcraft. This server is connected to Andorhal, Black Dragonflight, Eonar, Gul’dan, Scilla, Skullcrusher, Ursin, and Zuluhed.
An important thing to remember when looking at connected realms is that the Approximate Population data, Majority Faction, and Faction Split are for all of the realms in the connected realm group. In essence, connected realms function as one large realm. Because of this, it is a more accurate representation of the population levels you will experience to show the data for the connected realm group.
Velen Majority Faction
Velen is part of a Horde majority connected realm group. Approximately 64 of the connected realm group’s population is Horde, while the other belong to the Alliance.
Velen Population
Velen has a population of approximately 42, 000 actively played characters across its connected realm group, making it a low server. This figure includes active, max level characters that have participated in M+ or Raiding on or any of the 8 other realms it is connected to.
Velen Server Type
Velen is classified as a Normal server. Before Blizzard changed the server classification system in Battle for Azeroth, Velen was classified as a PvE server.
Velen Server Time
Velen Server Time is set to the Eastern Daylight Timezone (EDT, UTC -4).
Velen Battlegroup
Velen is part of the Retaliation Battlegroup. Battlegroups were a feature that determined PvP matchmaking in Arena and Battleground ladders until the game introduced cross-region PvP in Cataclysm.
The Retaliation Battlegroup includes:
Area 52
Auchindoun
Azuremyst
Blade’s Edge
Blood Furnace
Coilfang
Dawnbringer
Exodar
Fizzcrank
Galakrond
Ghostlands
Grizzly Hills
Shattered Halls
Terokkar
The Scryers
The Underbog

Velen is a connected realm. Velen is connected to 8 other realms. Those realms are:
Andorhal NA USBlack Dragonflight NA USEonar NA USGul’dan NA USScilla NA USSkullcrusher NA USUrsin NA USZuluhed NA US
Who Are the Top Guilds on Velen?
Velen is a connected realm, so the leaderboard for progression raiding guilds for this server will include guilds across all of the realms it is connected to, as guilds on connected realms are cross-realm. 8 out of 10 of these guilds did not complete Cutting Edge for Ny’alotha, so there is definitely room to be a competitive progression raiding guild on this connected realm group.
