The average level atm should probably be ~15. If Blizz give us realm transfer (just one) anyone can start new chars to new realms and transfer when queues are shorter (probably 2 weeks from now on). Its not that hard to level up to 15 and i think most of us are up for this idea. Now, noone can play and even if they are online, at some point they get dced by Blizz.
Omg this game is online for almost 19 hours only and you want your 15+ characters to be transfered for free? Cmon guys, don’t be silly.
Blizzard offered character transfers in the past (pre Mop-ish) from high to low pop servers for ALL CHARACTER OVER LEVEL 15. Please read and reflect that before you say its not reasonable to transfer new characters.
No it’s not reasonable at all. It takes you to level like 5-6 hours to 15. It’s really worthless to do transfers.

Yes, I do.
The leveling was cruel and utter madness mixed with genuine moments of civilized organization of people in pursuit of a main goal in a manner that was not every man for himself but had genuine feeling and care to random strangers on the internet.
Do you know how rare things like that are nowadays, without a camera recording for the views or the instapresence. Just people being nice people.
But prior to that was the whole anticipation, from nostalrius to lightshope, to having the character creation and you managed to get the exact name you wanted or close to it on the server registration day or hour.
I’m sorry but right now I look at my main in classic as the beginings of a collage of possible future memories that I will possible treasure and genuine good moments.
I would want to transfer her even if I only managed to get her to level 4 .
Fully agreed!
Came here to post this. If you’re a solo player, switching to a new server is no big deal. However, many of us are in decently sized communities and you can’t just screw over 50+ people who already leveled a bunch on launch night. Only free transfers can be an incentive for entire communities to move, and let’s be honest, the impact of entire communities moving to a fresh server is much bigger than the few solo players who have still to create their first character.

Those transfers were done at TBC and they were very bad. Whole servers lost a huge amount of players, as there was a new streamer or world first guild around and everyone had to move there.
Blizzard just needs to lock the full servers and everyone waiting, will go to the low pop ones.
I did, golimag… right now 2h+ queue.
Also playing on “low pop” server isnt the issue. Ending on ghost servers is big deal why many peoples wont change realms.
Either make transfers available or get more layers but this is ridiculous…

They HAVE to add a transfere option in my opinion but also need to get rid of it once populations even out, its just i chose Razorgore which was the extra server that cam out on release day and the ques are HORRIBLE but then With layering you never see anyone AT ALL, the launch has been an Aboslute mess and its clear to see that blizzard barely gives a damn about their only good game
this please
there was no streaming back then what are you talking about
So here is my situation; everytime I manage to make a character on a server that is explicitly NOT full (by advice of Blizzard). I manage a low level character on that day, only to find out that NEXT DAY, that server is completely full and I am facing another 2 hr queue to get in. So…I hop to another new server, because it is medium populated and…again, next day, 2 hrs of queue!
So by now, I am very sceptical on the official statements from Blizzard, saying that they are mitigating the traffic in such a way, that they will support long lasting servers. For the past 48 hours, it has been demonstrated that the opposite is happening. All my friends are now scattered all over the place. One here, one there. And lucky for them, they managed to play a bit more than me. So here I am, again, not being able to play with friends, because the last server move I did, has been undone.
So make character transfers free! It has been seriously underestimated and I play this game for the social aspect with friends. Not so I can keep making new solo character leveling experiences…over…and over…and over.
Open 20 servers, start offering people the option to sign up into a new server. See where it all lands. And later merge it, if servers end up dead.
And next time, allow people to pre-guild, outside of the game, with a server preference set. Not just individuals. So that a guild can decide where to go. As a social group. That way you can tetris populations together and make decisions easy for your communities.
Enfin, stop upsetting everyone by a slow trickle release of servers! Stop underestimating the popularity. Stop making the future experience great by completely ruining the present. I want to play and I want it to be with friends. Dead servers is an absolute non issue at this point. Do you see any topics that complain about dead servers? I certainly don’t. So stop ruining your own succes. This isn’t Cartman’s themepark.
Gentleman, pedal to the petal please!
People don’t seem to understand what a transfer is you take your character with you not start again
It is Blizzard fault. They knew exactly how many players will play they game and they were lazy to prepare enough servers from the start. It is utter bullsh*t to wait in queue to just enter the game for 5+ hours.
That could result in making another server full though?
Yes, this is the big issue. They released to few servers to begin with. For example us in the hungarian community have decided to go to Golemagg when the servers were announced. This information has spread to most people in the community. And after that, it is really hard to make a whole community move to a different server, since some people might already have characters, some people might not want to move, and you don’t want to split the community in half. I can imagine that the same thing happened to a lot of other communities.
