Firemaw locked even with characters there

Why am I not allowed to transfer to Firemaw when I already have a character there. I understand that Blizzards wants a lower influx of players to that realm, but I am already playing there! Just want my other character there too. Feels like a very strange desicion.

Because they don’t want MORE characters… you’re free to play the character you have there, right?

I guess in theory you could argue that you can only be logged in with one character at a time, so it doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 10 characters, but in practice more characters represent more total log-in time, as you’re going to do dailies, raid-log on several characters, and such.

So allowing transfer characters besides the existing characters is going to ramp up the total stress on the server.

Yes I understand that in a way. But I can still create more characters, and even use a level boost on them. Just cant transfer a character, wich would basically be the same thing.

Unlock firemaw. Server is going down fast.

That is very odd, and true. I checked out myself, indeed I can make as many new characters on Firemaw as I like. I’m hoping it 's just a technical limitation then, as in it’s too difficult to exclude people with an existing character from the lock-out

They should at least block the level boost option on firemaw as well, if they’re not going to allow transfers in.

The blocked everyone from moving there, is that so hard to understand? It’s probably technically difficult to only allow some people to move there.

I don’t see why they should do that.

I find it odd that you’re not allowed to transfer a character in, but you can create new characters and buy the boost to get them to end-game, I think that’s inconsistent.

Though I think the proper implementation would be locking the creation of new characters all together, so people who already had a character can still use all regular features of the shop.

I understand where you are coming from but I think when the transfer system was designed it was made only to restrict by realm name and not account parameters like Characters on the realms. With hindsight they should have.

I personally think it would need a huge rewrite to add that.

I sympathise with you. It is the (mysterious) way it is, and the way we were told it would work.
