Is it possible to have cross-realm PvP (Like on retail)

[Igzz]

I was wondering if it would be possible to have cross-realm pvp (rated arena, skirmishes, battlegrounds etc.) on a server which has 3 realms. Basically making queues come up faster. Thanks!

Of course it is, if your willing to script it.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Yes, but unless i've missed some significant change current emulators aren't really designed for it. Implementing it would require extensive edits and new code, which few people in the community would be capable of doing.

Everything you can do on retail you can do on a private server. But remember blizzard has a huge team of people who mastered in this. So you can but it will take alot of work and alot of trial and error

I wouldn't call ~150 developers a huge team. Considering the size of WoW.

150 developers is quite a big team by the industry's standards.. And it's not the size of WoW, it's the depth

Have a look at the clutering code (realmserver project) that appears in ascent based emus

^ This.

But i don't see how it would make it any faster as it's the same amount of players but on different realsm. Unless you mean if you have a funserver realm and a blizzlike realm then yeah it would but if its the same realm but 3 times then it would not make a difference.

Well it would be cool if you could team up with another server :P WoWScape Vs ToxicWoW :O

Both of which are dead, so in addition to a programmer we'll also be needing a necromancer.

i.E. on M....-WoW (I'm not advertising, just an example) this would be great. 12k players at the peak hours on three servers, this would probably be a more active realmpool then some blizzard ones.

No shit thier dead.....i waws saying that would of been a great example.

[Supadupaflyfly]

Would be awesome if you could get it working.

[TheSpidey]

Question being, how many servers actually have enough players and enough balanced realms for this to be worthwhile?

[Ballwinkle]

Dunno, prolly 4. but still...it would be kinda kewl.
