More realms will bridge in the future but for now these are it. The first wave of fresh connections should be live with the next not yet dated.
As subscriptions level fall each year for World of Warcraft it’s becoming a necessity to merge populations to keep things running, like instances and raids.

Connect Realms are also referred to as ‘Virtual Realms’ where players from each are treated as though they were full members of each other’s realm letting groups persistently travel together. Items and gold are tradable with the auction house shared between them as well. A ‘#’ symbol tags those from a connected realm.
