The migration of my account was accepted but whenever I try to log in it is stuck on logging into an EU server with 2 hours of waiting and I cannot even transfer my toon to an American server because they do not appear on the screen.
Why is Blizzard so complicated nowadays when all of this was done by ourselves back then with 2 clicks… It´s been a weeks since all of this started and I cannot even play the game. This is outrageous!
I’ve never heard of a region transfer or account migration between EU/US before, infact I thought this was entirely impossible?
Cross region transfers have never been a thing, I’ve been here since a month or two after the game started and have never seen them.
Hello Armigero,
As mentioned already there is no way to migrate an WoW account from one region to another and if you want to play in a different region you’d be looking at starting over from scratch.
If it’s still something you’re interested in, you can find all the relevant details here:
Why are these threads so complicated?
I am utterly confused why you thought a transfer from EU to NA was possible and even “Accepted”?

Quoting this for truth. You’ve never been able to move game licences between regions. EU Wow can only be played on EU servers and US Wow on US servers.
I also suggest you remove your Spanish post as, firstly, it’s against the rules and, secondly, people do understand other languages and the mods will deal with it.
Microsoft own Blizzard. Microsoft have every intention of putting Blizzard’s catalog of games on their xbox pass for pc. They have all but said this is going to happen, but when is anyone’s guess right now. It makes zero sense for microsoft to continue down this subscription path limiting people being able to play or wanting to play. By having this game on the xbox pass is opens it to millions of players who would otherwise probably never play wow, and it’s not as if they [players] are giving money to Blizzard either.
What does this mean for migration? It makes perfect financial sense to close Blizzard EU because they won’t even be needed when this game ends up on the xbox pass. I suspect all accounts in Europe will end up on american realms. It saves Microsoft a ton of money. The sooner the better imo because it will open the game up to far more players, which this game desperately needs!
Of course they don’t, they want to buy Activision but haven’t bought them yet. You really need to keep up on current events.
Microsoft didn’t complete the transaction yet to buy Actiblizzard.
Also, the want Call of Duty more then WoW.
Because they can restrict CoD to only Xbox and PC and therefor cut off the PS acces, forcing them to buy an Xbox…
Making them more money off consoles + WoW is a nice additional money sink and alternative MMORPG for ESO.
Impossible not, entirely possible and very simple. However as someone who’s been working with servers migrations and replications for many years and worked with many worldwide companies: Microsoft, Amazon, Google…etc. Blizzard have one of the oldest and weakest infrastructure system you can even imagine, these guys came from a gaming background and have no knowledge about how servers architecture should be, when you see any server either if its a game or website from 2010 onward still going down for maintenance, know their infrastructure is not scalable and still live in the 90s.
Today people can even replicate content between ROW and China (China servers are always isolated from ROW) still we can send content between the two.
So its not possible, is just blizzard Infra is super duper old and they don’t employ the right experienced Infra guys to show them how its done.
You wanted to necro two years old topic just to brag how good you are?
Since then nothing has changed since the necro.
Region migrations are not possible as a service besides special server closures like the temporary China shutdown to allow entire groups to come over to EU, NA or another region.
If you wish to suggest them include a regional transfer for toons or licenses you may do so. However, since adding the Warband all license splitting and character transfers between BNET accounts are also entirely disabled. It is not likely to come as a service.
its just your imagination and limitation, making you think if someone can cook a meal they are bragging. sorry cant help you on this.
I didn’t say I’m the only person in the world who does this, this is very common and hundred of managed services out there work with servers and replicate across multiple regions. all companies migrate their servers to the cloud, if you use AWS you can span servers in any region in ROW and replicate assets and code from one region across all other regions including China. Same if you use Azure, Google or any other cloud provider.
You just need to architect your servers.
Its about posting something usually used by many infra teams where blizzard dropped of the tech train and didn’t move since then.
So its technically possible, but blizz wont allow it.
Other mmos like swtor allows you to play any servers you wish (eu, usa, asia). Main reason for blocking are probably has something to do with botting, but still kinda meh if you change your home to other region, you must start from scratch.
