One aspect of having over six million subscribers that Blizzard probably never anticipated was having to come up with names for the many dozens (if not hundreds) of different game servers. Luckily, the lore of the Warcraft universe is pretty rich, and there were plenty of names to choose from.Did you ever wonder just where your server got it's name? Well, Blizzplanet has posted a list of the WoW servers, with an explanation of the lore behind the names of each, so you can finally find out what the heck Destromath really means (and no, it's not a G.I. Joe program to help kids learn arithmatic). I am a little disheartened, however, to hear that Blackmoore is not, in fact, named after the guitarist from Rainbow....

I play on Destromath and always wondered how it was pronounced. DESTRO-math or De-STROM-ath. I always thought it was the first and yes, it made me think of GI Joe.

Hmmm.. Am I missing a second page link somewhere? They seem to go up to Skullcrusher and then it just stops.

My server's name is Eitrigg, and I have no idea where they came up with that. I don't remember that word being in any part of the Warcraft story.

Another Eitrigg player here. Eitrigg is an Orc in Thrall's chamber. He's the one you talk to for you tier 1 upgrade quests. Though I guess you wouldn't know that if you're Alliance :-p
