Welcome to our list of top World of Warcraft Realms to play on in 2021. If you ever wondered which Realm
you
should choose if you are starting, or in case you want to move servers, then this guide is for you.
Realm Rankings
We use algorithms and statistics to rate different servers by considering the number of active Raiding
guilds, community healthiness, Auction House activity, Raid/PvP progress, popularity, etc. We covered
realms
from Americas & Oceania, Europe, Taiwan and Korea regions.
If you are unsure what type of realm you should choose, than we recommend choosing the "Raiding"
option, unless you want to focus specifically on either PvP (Player vs Player) or RP (Role
Playing) aspects of the game.
The realms are placed from the most recommended to less attractive (but still worth considering).

Frequently Asked Questions
🏆 What is the best WoW Realm to play on?
You should decide for yourself by looking at our recommendations above.
In
general, you should choose the one that is placed first, unless you have friends that
are
already playing on some other server.
🎯 Which WoW Region should I choose?
The best region is the one that is physically closest to you (so you can
have as little server delay as possible) and the one that uses language which you can
understand.
🤔 Normal or RP realm?
Choose RP realms only if you intend to participate in WoW Role-playing.
If
you are not sure, then go with Normal.
