Paid Character Transfer Talk

Blizzards Paid Character Transfer services only allows people from very highly populated servers transfer to lower populated servers, but Drak'Tharon I know a lot of people that would like to transfer to a different realm because of the extreamly low population and Horde:Alliance ration which is about at 15:1 right now. I believe we, the consumers, already pay enough money to just play the game, and that we shouldn't have to pay to transfer from a low population server. And I also know countless people who have transfered to servers to get away from theirs, only to find the new server is no better or worse then theirs. Blizzard should offer better choices for the WoW community and Realm Transfers. Any opinions or issues on your realm? Feel free to disscuss them on here. Maybe Blizzard will read this and consider some things.

Thanks for your Time,
Ty

Actually, Dreor, the Paid Character Transfer service is intended to be used by people who want to transfer between realms. Population level is virtually irrelevant, the only time it really matters if is the population is rather high and we feel that transfers to the realm should be halted.

Please note that this service is entirely optional and was introduced to allow players who wanted to transfer realms the ability to do so for a specific price.

On occasion a realm's average population may exceed a level that we would like and in those cases we may offer Free Character Moves from a high population realm to a low population realm. Such transfer options are usually announced on the General Discussion forum. You may also check the following link.
