Well this is what Blizzard had to say.
World of Warcraft will have many different servers (called realms). Each realm will have its own name. Generally, friends should decide which realm to reside on before creating a character; however, if your friend has already begun playing the game before you, simply ask them which realm they reside on and join that one.
Also, other info.
Character names are unique on each realm. However, the same character name can exist on a different character on other realms.

WoW doens't have Realm vs. Realm combat as DAoC does.
In DAoC Realm vs. Realm (RvR) is the main form of PvP play.
People from one realm joins up into groups that will do battle with enemies of that realm.
All three realms are official enemies and thus legal targets in the frontieres (PvP areas).
It has nothing to do with the "realm" concept stated by Blizzard.
What you should look at is the way WoW does PvP and this is snipped from the FAQ at WoW-site.
We know that the player vs. player (PvP) option is very important to many gamers. Therefore, we plan to incorporate a form of player conflict into the World of Warcraft. However, players who do not wish to participate in PvP combat will not be required to do so. The PvP system will be incorporated in a consensual way that will be fun for those who wish to take part in this form of combat. Announcements regarding PvP options in the World of Warcraft will be announced in the months ahead.
