Good news for WoW raiders! Soon you will be able to join your nakama on other servers and raid the same dungeon at the same time, together!

World of Warcraft US community manager Nethaera has announced on Blizzard’s official forums that they’re adding a much-requested feature to the Looking For Group tool: cross-realm queuing. Yes, I see some happy faces here!

The feature is now entering testing phase on the current PTR. After the feature is implemented, players will be able to form a party with their Real ID friends, no matter what realm they’re on–although they will still need to be on the same faction. Of course, this will happen on the patch 4.2, although it’s unconfirmed.

However, Nethaera also warns that “certain elements of the cross-realm Real ID party system will be premium-based,” which is a nice way of saying that you’re gonna have to hand over some money to unlock parts of it. Now that’s such a shitty thing to do Blizzard, sucking us dry!

She went on to clarify that only the player sending out the invitations will need to have those premium features. It seems likely that you’ll have to pay the premium fee in order to create a cross-realm party and invite friends, but that it will be free to accept the group invitations of those that have paid.

So, is this worth the shit?
