We are now offering free character moves from select high population PvP realms.

We recommend to anyone who wishes to use the free character move system to do so at your earliest convenience.

Q u o t e:


I understand that depending on early cutoffs and whatnot affecting the status of your free transfers, btu would there be any chance you could give us a ballpark on the PvE transfer avaliability? Exact dates are understandably moot, but an estimation of early/mid/late february or whenever would be nice. =)

Any chance you know when this may take place?

The goal is to have PvE free moves by the end of the week, though depending on how we proceed with PvE moves, it may be early next week.

Q u o t e:
Please acknowledge faction restraints on current pvp transfers.

The only realm that has a restraint is Mal'Ganis, though I did leave this out of my original post. I'll edit that now. All faction restraints are listed on the "Eligible Realm" list within the "Free Character Move" page. If there are no restrictions, it says, "none."

Q u o t e:
You didn't put a server on the list that is either mistakenly got xfers off or wasn't put on the list accidentally

Shattered Halls (PvP) -> Balnazzar (PvP)
Shattered Halls (PvP) -> Lethon (PvP)
Shattered Halls (PvP) -> Zuluhed (PvP)
Shattered Halls (PvP) -> Anub'arak (PvP)
Shattered Halls (PvP) -> Ysondre (PvP)
Shattered Halls (PvP) -> Darrowmere (PvP)

Free character moves from Shattered Halls will be closing tonight at 8 PM PST, as this realm was included on the move list by mistake. If you are on Shattered Halls and wish to move with your friends or guild to one of the available destination realms, please do so before the deadline tonight. We apologize for the confusion and short notice on this.

Q u o t e:


Thank you for your reply Zarhym, however there seems to be an unintended restriction witholding realms from transferring alliance characters to a few of the destination realms.

You are correct. It appears that neither Alliance or Horde on Dark Iron are currently able to move to Anub'Arak. Our database administrators are working to add Anub'Arak as an eligible destination for Dark Iron. Thanks for reporting this, Sebbers. :)

Edit: This has been resolved.

Free PvP character moves from Cho'gall (Horde only) have been added! These moves are scheduled to end Tuesday, February 10, at 8:00 PM PST provided our transfer goals are not reached prior to this time.

Q u o t e:


Try reading the entire post next time.

Were talking about PvP realms with high populations and Blizzard can not get the Qs down to what they want by just giving PvP xfers. If they open options to PvE realms there are many people willing to take them so they get the benefit of a realm more their style and will help alleviate the high population problems. It's a win-win situation.

We do not have plans to open up free character moves to differing realm types in the near future. The goal of free character moves is to offer players a lower-population option to their current realm and rule set.

If players would like to switch play styles, it is recommended that the paid character transfer service be used.

Edit: PvE free moves should be coming this week.

These free character moves are now closed.
