WoW Classic Name Reservations Now Open

---

WoW Classic name reservations open today! Players with an active subscription or game time on their World of Warcraft account can create up to three characters per WoW account before WoW Classic releases worldwide on Monday, August 27 at 00:01 CEST. Times for name reservation are 6p ET and 3p PDT today.

When you reserve a name, you'll also choose the realm you will play that character on. Wowhead also provides some information regarding name reservation:

Players who choose to play on a PvP realm will only be able to create characters within the same faction. This means that if you create an Alliance character, all further characters on that realm must also be Alliance characters.
After WoW Classic is live, you'll be able to create up to 10 characters on any given realm and can create a maximum of 50 characters across all WoW Classic realms. This character count does not impact the number of characters you can create on the current World of Warcraft realms.
Characters that were created for the WoW Classic beta or stress tests will not be available to use in WoW Classic.
To create a character and play WoW Classic, you will need to download and install the client first.

Open the Battle.net desktop app and select World of Warcraft in the game selection menu.
Under the Version menu, select World of Warcraft Classic. If you have more than one World of Warcraft account, you'll see a second dropdown for Account. In that column, select the active account you want to play on.
Click the Install button. You'll see an installation progress bar that will show you when the installation is available to play.
Once the installation is complete, click the Play button.
