In this region, all Free Character Transfers will be closed at 20:00 CEST on Tuesday, June 15.
If you’ve been planning to make use of the Free Character Transfer service, please do so as soon as possible.
Thank you!
We’ve opened the Free Character Transfer service to players on some realms in this region. Free Character Transfers are now available:
From
To
Faction Restriction
Gehennas
Stonespine
Horde only
Gehennas
Ten Storms
Horde only
Pyrewood Village
Nethergarde Keep
Alliance only
Firemaw
Bloodfang
Horde only
Please note:
You cannot transfer a character who:
is the leader of a guild.
has items up for auction.
has in-game mail messages.
You may have to change the character’s name after the transfer.
You cannot transfer a character to a PvP realm where you already have a character of the opposite faction.
The transfer of a character is a final decision once initiated, and cannot be undone. Blizzard Customer Service cannot adjust or reverse the character transfer process.
During times when servers are very busy, free character transfers can take up to several hours.
As always, we will monitor the number of characters moved and the populations on the realms above and close free transfers if necessary. We encourage players who wish to move to do so as soon as possible, as this service may be closed without notice.
We’ll update this thread with any planned changes or closures as soon as they are finalized.
Surely if you want people to move off the realms that are so ridiculously congested (like Gehennas) it would be wiser to give them a larger destination choice to increase the appeal of the service?
Yes asking the real questions here! I came back to this Ten Storms (alliance side) and it’s the worst social experience I ever had in wow. Everything is abandoned, /who in stormwind resulted in 5 hits including me and the friend who played on this server. And the solution is to transfer more horde in!?
so that the 20 alliance that transfer over will have a miserable time?
no i think blizzard made the right decision, its obvious that players want to join servers where their faction is outnumbering the other side. nobody cares about faction balance otherwise we wouldnt have this problem in the first place.
I’m ok with that, but at least give us poor alliance players a free transfer elsewhere. If they want to make it a 100% horde population I have no problem with that, but the alliance side is miserable atm.
Well im not interested in moving to any of those servers so why not remove the 90-day transfer cooldown? like reset it so i can move wherever i want by paying (i used my transfer 1 month ago and i want to move again), that should be an option too.
Lol, i think same. Ten storms ally side is completely dead. Its just horrible experience to play now. I hope blizz will make some actions soon, otherwise there wont be anything to save. Situation is pretty much similar to classic era servers - we need actions now!!!
Nethergarde Keep aleeady has more alliance than horde by a long way. When I was leveling it was dreani shamans everywhere taking all the quest mobs. Why are you artificially pumping more alliance only into NGK and not giving us horde too for balance? Is faction balance on PWV more important?
