- For other timelines, see Timeline (disambiguation).
This is an ongoing list of all realms that have been created since the release of World of Warcraft on 11/23/04.
Each realm can be found under a heading of the day that it was released. This list may help you if you're trying to figure out when a new server's 6-month Character Transfer block expires or just to estimate how far that realm likely is in end-game progression. Also the realm type and time zone have been indicated, along with any other information relevant to realm selection.
