WoW Insider revealed that Blizzard will opened new realms for oversea players. Australian players who have to share the same realms with the North Americans will have an own server which may be located in their country.

A few weeks ago we wrote about the difficulties encountered by Oceanic players -- maintenance and lag during their prime time hours as well as severe overcrowding on Oceanic flagged servers. Well, this Thursday, Oceanic players can look forward to the opening of a new Oceanic flagged realm (Dath?Remar, PvE), as well as free character transfers from all existing Oceanic realms (Aman?thul, Barthilas, Frostmourne, Jubei?thos, and Khaz?goroth). Will a single additional realm alleviate the issues occurring regularly on the other five realms? Come Thursday, we?ll find out.
