+'''Windshear Hold''' is an [[Alliance]] town located in [[Windshear Crag]], [[Stonetalon Mountains]]. It features many different alliance races. It holds flight paths to [[Stardust Spire]], [[Thal'darah Overlook]], [[Farwatcher's Glen]], and [[Nijel's Point]].
-A high population [[:Category:US servers|US server]].  Upon the release of WoW this server was chosen as the unofficial Australian PVP server by the Australian WoW community (also acknowledged by Blizzard in the Australian trial WoW DVD booklet, along with [[Server:Spinebreaker US|Spinebreaker]] and [[Server:Proudmoore US|Proudmoore]]).  Since then [[:Category:Oceanic Time Zone servers|Oceanic realms]] have been released and many Australians have rerolled, slightly alleviating the long queues suffered by this realm.  However, because of this history, Blackrock is still a harsh and unfriendly server when it comes to transfers or new players.

-This realm is infamous for the [[Server:Argent Dawn US|Argent Dawn]] [[gnome]] raids.  These events would occur when the server has unbearable [[lag]] or goes down.  Many, sometimes hundreds, of Blackrock players create level 1 gnomes on the Argent Dawn [[:Category:RP servers|role playing realm]] and raid [[Ironforge]], [[spam]]ming text in chat channels and annoying players.  The majority of players joined a guild named <Blackrock Exiles>.  This behavior greatly annoyed the Argent Dawn population and was discouraged by Blizzard.  Contrary to popular belief this is not a valid roleplaying event.  The Blackrock denizens sole purpose is to disrupt Argent Dawn, usually by creating characters with vulgar names and spamming the server's Alliance trade channels with sophmoric humor or [[atlasloot]] links of [[Thunderfury]].  Despite numerious complaints and petitions from the Argent Dawn community, the guild <Exiles of Blackrock> continues to exist on the server and Blizzard has taken little (if any) action against the guilty.

-==Play Times==
+[[Category:Night elf territories]]
+[[Category:Alliance towns]]
-Blackrock is primarily a Pacific Standard Time server - however, the largest chunk of the population is of an Oceanic player base so Blackrock's peak population times usually run at AEST (NSW/Sydney Time) or UTC/GMT +10 hours.
-==Server Transfers==
-There has been 5 free server transfers as initiated by Blizzard from Blackrock to other lower populated servers.
