Vaneras over at the
European forums has announced that some planned changes to the starting spawn locations on the
Tournament Test Realm are in the works to address congestion issues. At the moment, the current spawn areas and vendors are located in each race's starting area, which is heavily populated upon character creation and log-in. The high density of players population
cause heavy lag and much difficulty purchasing items from vendors. To address the situation, Vaneras reports that Blizzard is working on randomizing spawn locations (e.g. creating a Tauren won't necessarily start you off at Red Cloud Mesa) as well as adding new places for item vendors. The current list of vendor locations is as follows (subject to change):
1. Ammen Vale
2. North Shire
3. Coldridge Valley
4. Shadowglen
5. Goldshire
6. Sentinel Hill (Westfall)
7. Kharanos
8. Ironforge
9. Stormwind
10. Deathknell
11. Sunstrider Isle
12. Red Cloud Mesa
13. Valley of Trials
There are currently more Alliance vendor locations than there are Horde, but it's likely that more locations will be added in the future. So if you haven't visited the TTR yet, why don't you
get the PTR client and try it out. Even if only to check out your toon
dressed in phat lewtz.

Yea, that wasn't really well thought out at the time. I was sitting there for 15 minutes trying to buy one enchant and just gave up. It would also be nice if these servers allowed battlegrounds.

I understand that. However, such a realm with battlegrounds active would be very fun (take out the gear aspect and leave only the skill aspect).

I agree that battlegrounds need to be implemented, just because they are so damn fun if you aren't honor grinding in them/they are great to practice in if you take your arena partners with you. I can't see it happening, but it would be great.

The new vendors are not actually up on the realms.
They are in the patch notes but there is no new patch for the test realms.
