(Update 17/12) 12/12 Free character migration

Due to population differences between some of the highest and lowest populated PvP realms, the following Free Character Migration will be available December 12th to 18th:

From: Al'Akir, Burning Legion, Magtheridon, Shadowmoon, Stormscale
To: Burning Blade, Jaedenar, Mazrigos, Spinebreaker

Additionally, to alleviate queues on Stonemaul and Warsong we have opened a new realm and free character migration from (currently only) those two realms to this new one. This migration is planned for the same dates as above.
The name of the new realm is Molten Core, and it’s in the Nightfall Battlegroup. Character creation on the realm will be disabled during the migration, except for those having a character there.

From: Stonemaul, Warsong
To: Molten Core (new realm) - will be closed at 10:00 CET on Dec 15th

Please note that the migration may be closed at any time should a destination realm's population rise too high.

Please keep this on the topic of migration, and constructive. New realm requests have several threads dedicated to them already.

Q u o t e:
this server is a pure fail... not many ppl will transfer and server will be a ghost town

Please note that keyword in the original post; "currently".

Q u o t e:
In this case the news came well behind the actually release of the server.

The early opening was a simple and honest mistake. The intended opening of the realm came pretty much at the same time as the forum post.

But please keep this thread on the topic of the migration. If you wish to discuss new realms, there are other threads for that.

Once again, folks, please keep this thread on the topic of the migration. Other realm discussions can be taken elsewhere.

Q u o t e:
Some questions regarding transfer cooldown, probably already asked somewhere else but cba to search for it:

- are you able to use free character migration when you still got a transfer cooldown; and
- will using free character migration give you a new 3-month cooldown?

Free migration is not affected by PCT cool-down, and will not trigger a cool-down.

Update Dec 14th, 14:00 CET
Due to a very high number of migrations to Molten Core the migration from Stonemaul and Warsong will be closed tomorrow, Saturday December 15th at 10:00 CET.

(Also added to the first post, and on the login screen.)

Q u o t e:
Man... Queues on Molten Core already. And guilds aren't even raiding yet...
Now I don't understand...

While I don't have the numbers available right now, I expect pretty much everybody who migrated are online tonight, and will be for the weekend. Still, the turnout was indeed higher than expected in the first few days, and this is why the migration will be closed tomorrow morning. We didn't want to shut it in the face of people with no notice though.

Q u o t e:
It is funny actually. Almost all rading guild transfered to Molten Core from Stonemaul, which is now "ghost realm", and we are allready having 300+ queues. Maybe open free transfer back? =)).

Some feedback and sharing of thoughts concerning Molten Core in this thread on the MC forum:

Q u o t e:
See'ing the login now saying free migration from Molten core to Stonemaul is a bit of a turnaround, maybe someone at blizard wasnt doign their job and the whole server went for the migration near enough (as well as the other server)

Hardly the entire realm, but a significant portion. ;-)

However, rather than shutting the migration in the players' face, splitting up guilds and friends, we decided to give them an end time and then see how it turned out. Turned out to be a little more than desired, and we're giving the opportunity to even it out. I think that's much better than slamming the door shut on people.

Edit: bad English. It's late... :-p
