Update:

Free character moves to Garrosh are now closed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be offering free character moves from selected high population realms to a brand new PvE realm, Garrosh, to assist in population dispersal. The ability to move a character from the selected source realms is scheduled to run until Wednesday, January 14, 6:00 pm PST. Garrosh is an eastern timezone realm on the Emberstorm battlegroup.

In the event that these realms meet our transfer goals before the scheduled end date, the transfers to that realm will be disabled. We highly recommend that if you are planning to transfer that you do so at your earliest convenience. No characters will be eligible for these free moves once the transfers have been closed.

You can begin your transfer by visiting the Character Move page located here: https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/character-move.html

Q u o t e:


On Account Management it says Garrosh not Gundrak :P Gundrak is PvP realm ^^

I've been shuffling these lists around through too many spreadsheets and databases today. My apologies. : \

The new realm is Garrosh, and the post has been edited to correct this.

Q u o t e:
I can sit in a 500 deep queue on Eldre'Thalas after the kids are back in school and yet there is no option to lessen the population on the server?

Eldre'Thalas is definitely on our watch list. At this time though there are 55 realms more impacted than your realm, and we want to avoid opening the flood gates with free transfers all at once. It's much more easy to control the flow of players using these transfers if we enable them in segments. Your patience is appreciated.

Q u o t e:
i know it does no good. but please think of garona. :P

Garona is on our watch list as well. There are 40 realms with larger queues on average than Garona.
