Tired of finding out that your new college room mate/love interest/new internet friend is on a different realm than you in World of Warcraft? Can’t decide who should change realms so you can raid together?
Well, that’s no longer a problem, as in Patch 4.3.2, Blizzard will enable Real-ID friends to group up and join a raid together, via the Looking for Raid tool. You can also, reportedly, queue up for Battlegrounds and older raids as well.
Here’s the full post from Blizzard:
We previously introduced the ability to form cross-realm parties with Real ID friends, and now with Patch 4.3.2, we’re adding the ability for players to use that same functionality to form raids to run older normal or heroic raids, or participate in Battlegrounds!
This will allow you to join up with your Real ID friendsfrom other realms and:
- Form a cross-realm raid and use Raid Finder
- Jump in to any classic dungeon or raid and be automatically placed in the same instance
- Join forces and dominate the Battlegrounds
Please note, you will not yet be able to run normal or Heroic Dragon Soul with cross-realm Real ID raids.
As we look forward to the BattleTag system, it’s a very exciting time for World of Warcraft. No matter what realm you and your friends are on you’ll be able to team up and take on group content throughout the game.
