Here’s something fun. Since I was lucky enough to hear about the transfer before it happened, I went ahead and moved that one char as I stated previously. Please note that this char was supposed to be moved from the RPPVP realm, to a PVP realm, as there was no option (in the free transfer) to move it elsewhere.
Well, I logged in to check and…they moved that char to the wrong realm. Rather than send that RPPVP char to the listed PVP realm, they moved it to the RP realm where they bulk moved all the chars that players who didn’t bother to Free Transfer their chars went to.
What was the point of offering that Free Transfer, if they aren’t going to actually do it?
And here’s the kicker. Since my Classic BC char was moving, I figured I would go ahead and move his Classic clone to the same realm, so they would at least retain some sort of cohesion despite the death of their birth realm*.
That Classic char arrived at the correct realm, so now he’s chilling out in the PVP realm, while his Classic BC counterpart is sitting on a RP realm ==
Opened a ticket about this, stating that the char was not transferred to the correct realm, and was basically told to pay for a transfer - even though their system made the mistake ==
I understand that your character did not transfer to the correct realm through our free character migration service. I’m afraid all free character migrations are final and irreversible, therefore Customer Support is unable to provide you with another one or reverse the service.
So there you have it, “oops we screwed up, but not our problem”.
I was asked to make a bug report, given this was “not human error” which I did, but really? Aren’t humans doing the moving here? Sure it’s all system operated for the mass transfer, but the Free Transfer has you select the destination server - and given this char’s only option was that one PVP server, how does “the system” screw that up?
Later told I could wait for the time time a Free Transfer happens (likely never) or pay to have him moved. So, a “system error” which is potentially finacially profitable? Blizzard sus.
*Incidentally, the Classic birth realm still exists, they only deleted the Classic BC versions of these realms, even though the Classic vrsions are even less populated than the Classic BC ones. The birth realm still exists but is still dead.
By the way, I also had a couple Alliance chars on one doomed realm, but I didn’t bother to try Free Transfer them - and both those chars have been lost in the void since the mass transfer XD
