Free Character Migration (FCM)
There is currently no FCM available.

Please note: FCM is opened based on realm population tracking and analysis, not by request. If you're looking for a specific migration (from realm A to realm B), you are in most cases better off using Paid Character Transfer, or you could end up waiting for a very long time.


Paid Character Transfers (PCT)
All English realms follow the regular PCT rules, found here:

Q u o t e:
Meh probably get flamed for this as usual but still no news on new servers? :<

I don't see why you couldn't just say yes/no like they did on the American forums.

We answer that question every day, even before you ask it, in the FAQ. The answers there are valid until we change the answer.

Q: Are you planning on opening any new realms very soon?
A: Unless there's a sticky thread about it in the General forum or news about it on the website; no.

Q: When will you open new realms?
A: New realms are opened as other realms of the same type (PvE/Normal, PvP, RP, RP PvP) fill up. The goal is to always be able to have the Recommended tag on a given number of PvE/Normal and PvP realms, and avoid having all RP and RP PvP realms tagged as Full.

Q u o t e:
Ok but with only two recomended PvP and one recomended RP/RP-PvP isn't it new realm time? or does it require no recomended realms?

We recommend only 2-3 realms of the same type to focus newcomers and rerollers on the same couple of realms, to ensure they have other newcomers and rerollers to play with. Thus even when there are more than two realms of a given type that could benefit from extra population, we only recommend a few at a time.

For RP PvP (and Normal RP) we only recommend one at a time for the same reason. After all, it's more than 10% of the realms of the given type.
