World of Warcraft Classic name reservations were opened on Monday

Nothing is more sacred than your name in World of Warcraft. It’s the first thing players see about you, and the name your raid leader will shout when you stand in the fire and ruin the fight. Naming yourself is a task that you can’t rush, even in the excitement of Blizzard-run Classic servers. To prevent that kind of stress on day one, Blizzard opened up a piece of World of Warcraft Classic a little early. Players can now reserve their server, character class, race, and name.

First, you will need to make the character on whatever realm you want to play on. You should keep in mind that if you choose a PvP realm, you will only be able to create characters within that same faction. After WoW Classic goes live on August 26, you'll be able to create up to 10 characters on any realm, with a maximum of 50 characters on all WoW Classic realms. Any characters created during the beta or stress tests will not be available in the full version of WoW Classic.

Now that we've covered the basics, let's talk about how to go about reserving your WoW Classic character name.

•    First, open up the Battle.net desktop application and select World of Warcraft in the game menu.
•    Next, look for the version option and then select World of Warcraft Classic. If you have multiple WoW accounts, you will see a second dropdown option to choose the account that you want to work off of.
•    With WoW Classic chosen, go ahead and install the game. When it finishes installing, launch the title and then select Create a New Character. Now you can choose your faction, class, race, and name.

Blizzard also reminds us that you can only play with a single faction (Horde or Alliance) per PVP server as Classic is following the old realm rules, and there is a maximum of 10 characters per realm, with a max of 50 characters per region. Thankfully there's no overlap with the main game, as the 50 character thing is a separate entity and only applies to Classic. Provided that your name is something basic like "Greg," be prepared to jump into the breach later today! As a reminder the classic character classes are: Warrior, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Shaman (Horde only), Paladin (Alliance only), Priest, Rogue, and Warlock.
