Burning Crusade crossrealm grouping

Hello.There was a bug in Burning Crusade Classic that made it possible to invite player-characters from other realms. The bug was fixed it several hours ago.Have fun out there!
Update: I’m mistaken about the hotfix having been applied earlier. The bug is still active and we’ll hotfix it soon.
Cross-realm is not intended.

Comment by TicjHow can it be just a bug if when grouping with someone from another realm a text pops up on the chat that says "All players in the party must be in the same realm to enter Eastern Kingdoms."
As far as I know that is not a text that has ever been used before. Sounds like an implemented feature that they turned back on. But glad it's removed at least.Comment by TheRadikidThank god. Was this close to screwing up Classic.Comment by TheRadikidThis is a huge loss for players with friends from other realms. Now we are being arbitrarily separated from playing together. This is forcing us to socialize LESS, not more.Comment by Trang0ulThis is a huge loss for players with friends from other realms. Now we are being arbitrarily separated from playing together.

Why can't we play with cross-realm friends again? Servers are arbitrary barriers anyways.Comment by KittyTheUnicornIf you have such a large social network and they all play classic WoW, instead of retail, another mmo, or another game.
Then I seriously doubt most of them would want cross realm.
Most people who play that version of the game, play it for the advantages AND disadvantages it had.
That is classic versions target audience.Comment by ZaikahalWell this is killing my interest in TBC classic quickly.
