Server names?

Does anyone know if they have released server names yet?  I would like to be on the same server as all my friends on retail launch.  If so please link me to the names.  Thanks in advance!

    Shortly before the beta ended, one of the Devs posted on the WoW board saying that the server list would not be released until launch day, they gave some reason for it but i forget what it was, something to do with evenly distrubuting server population.

    wow.... I just followed the link to the Blizzard forums...

       Those closed beta testers are really pissed! image

    Although the whole "If you're not happy, then don't play it!" always applies, I can see their point about the lack of logic behind the decision.

      Blizzard has another comment half way through the forums clarifying that the reason for the decision was to release servers on a need basis .. to avoid having too many servers.

      Well, I think it's obvious that they will have at least a few dozens ... so why not release those names ... you know the first few will fill up whether or not the names are released, so why not let it get filled up by people who want to play together... Maybe there is another reason which I am missing..

    I think it very evident why they do not want to release server names, they understand unlike almost ever other MMO, that people will all choose the first four servers ahead of time and jam pack those and leave the others hardly populated.. Happens on almost ever MMORPG I have played, you will get serveral guild saying "Oh we need to be on this server cause such and such guild is" and it just keeps on going.. People began to post polls on which server they will choose usually with 3 or 4 (depending on game) being the main ones and the others forgotten..

    Once agian Blizzard is the brains behind the Anarchy (the players) and uses logic rather then emotions. Dont let them have the chance to plan out days in advance where there going calling home make them make that decision the day off.  Brilliant!!!
