Hi there,
Yep, totally appreciate this, it was always going to be very disruptive having creation locked down on all the realms but folks were very concerned about having character names taken before they could transfer and we had limited, painful, options we could use in the time we had.
However seeing as how this is also messing with Faction Change and Name Change, we do not want to wait a whole week anymore for re-enabling character creation, instead we will be unlocking all the Destination Realms for character creation on Saturday 27th at 6pm GMT.
This is the absolute peak time for Mists of Pandaria Classic each week in EU, so hopefully this time slot gives as many people as possible a chance to reserve names for those who have not yet elected to transfer.
Please share this information around to friends and guild members to make sure as many people are possible are ready!
