My personal household dilemma is that we have two accounts between me and my wife and have roughly 5 alliance characters of level 80 that are different race/class combinations, and furthermore we had originally created them all on the same server (Firetree). To say the least Firetree alliance has become somewhat dormant and very inactive over the years due to severely low population and has become entirely no fun anymore.
While we wish to once again enjoy our high level characters on a more densely populated and active server we are again set back due to the amount of money it would cost to transfer all of them to the new destination realm. Roughly doing the math per account with 5 characters of level 80 transferred individually is $125.00, and then add that with the other account and that is a whopping $250.00 dollars to enjoy the characters we have already spent hundreds of hours of play on to develop and create.
Is blizzard looking into batch character transferring at an affordable rate and if not why? Do you think it should cost $250 dollars or more for a household or family that enjoys to play together to be able to continue to have fun together on a game they have already invested years of monthly subscription fees, and personal hours of character development on?
Cataclysm from my Beta experience is supposed to be about a fun game experience overall and well it is not fun that I have to pay such an excessive amount of money in regards to once again enjoying my high end characters on a more populated or active server.
Lastly if you are not considering batch character transfers at an affordable price how about at least merging several of the lower end population servers together to not only help the community have a richer and fuller gaming experience but to also save yourselves some money as you could shut down a few of the inactive servers once merging several of the low population ones has been complete.
