Blizzard’s community team has announced a new premium World of Warcraft service yesterday which will allow players to join cross-realm dungeons at an extra fee and stirred up quite a commotion from the community.

The details of the service can be found below:

With the continued popularity of the Dungeon Finder, many players have been asking for a way to group up with real-life friends who play on other realms to take on instances together. Today, we wanted to give you a heads up about a new feature currently in development that will allow players to invite Real ID friends ( http://us.battle.net/en/realid/ ) of the same faction to a party regardless of the realm they play on, and then queue up for a 5-player regular or Heroic dungeon.

As this is a fairly complex service to develop, we don’t have a release date to share quite yet. It’s important to note that as with some of the other convenience- and connectivity-oriented features we offer, certain elements of the cross-realm Real ID party system will be premium-based, though only the player sending the invitations will need to have access to the premium service. We’ll have more details to share with you as development progresses — in the meantime, you may begin to see elements of the feature appear on the World of Warcraft PTR.

Naturally, an additional fee of any type would create some type of anger, unless its for pets and such of course. The new premium cross server announcement comes right after word that Blizzard loses nearly 600,000 subscribers. Another reason to believe Blizzard is just a bunch of money hungry hordes.

Real ID originally launched with the requirements for users to use their identity on the forums, after the players voiced their opinions, Blizzard heard the cries and did the right thing. Let’s hope Blizzard can make the right move on this one like they’ve had in the past.
