World of Warcraft is a huge game with dozens upon dozens of servers to choose from. As the juggernaut of an MMO is nearly two decades old, players have joined at different periods and not everyone has decided to conveniently play on the same realm. So, rather than pay that nasty $25 character transfer fee, let’s take a look at what Cross Realm play can do for you.

Can you play with friends on other servers in WoW?

While players can join one another across realms, there are some limitations. To play with your friend, you must beReal IDorBattleTag Friends. If you have yet to become friends this way, you can invite them by typing the following in the chat window “/invite Character Name-Realm Name.” From there, invite them as you would normally through the Friends List. While partied together, players can do quests, queue for dungeons and battlegrounds, andraidon normal and heroic. However, you will not be able to trade or join the same guild unless the realms are connected. Connected realms are servers that share a database and are functionally the same realm.
