Update Schedule for Anniversary Realms

The Burning Crusade Classic is coming to Anniversary realms, with the Burning Crusade pre-patch arriving next week. Please take note of the following schedule of events.

24-Hour Maintenance for Anniversary realms

In the Americas and Oceania region, starting at 3:00 p.m. PST on Monday, January 12, we will take all Anniversary realms offline for maintenance.

Following a 24-hour maintenance period, Anniversary realms will come back online with the Burning Crusade Classic pre-patch.

Realm Transfer Notices

Free character transfers from Anniversary Realms to Classic Era realms will close when Anniversary Realms are taken offline for maintenance.

After that time, players will no longer be able to move their Classic Anniversary characters to Classic Era realms, and characters remaining on Classic Anniversary realms will continue to Burning Crusade Classic.

Until the maintenance period begins, players with characters on Anniversary Hardcore realms can transfer their characters to Normal (non-Hardcore) Anniversary realms, so that those characters will continue to Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary.

If you wish to transfer your character from a Normal Anniversary Realm to a Classic Era realm (character doesn’t advance to Burning Crusade Classic), or from an Anniversary Hardcore realm to a Normal Anniversary realm (character does advance to Burning Crusade Classic, and is no longer a Hardcore character), please do so as soon as possible. Players who wait until the last minute to transfer characters may encounter issues or delays.

Thank you!

That’s awesome! I so happy that Blizzard allows us to use the boosts on Blood Elves and Draenei!! Great news!!

Kaivax can you confirm whether cross server bg/arena grouping will be implemented since the arena team paradigm was changed to personal rating & now that we only have 2 servers going?

Any chance that you can communicate a TBC launch date with us? Been patiently waiting :pleading_face:

They did just not here its Feb 5th

Servers will be down for 24 hours starting on Monday until TBC release, so I doubt it.

No clones but there is still a 24 hour maintenance anyways? Crazy…

People have been grinding away for over a month now to hit R14 this week. We need an official statement that the honor will count toward the ranking, or this is a huge slap in the face to the time invested.

Will there be options to transfer from Doomhowl to Nightslayer? Like on Era Defias Pillager to Whitemane?

Is there a plan to allow Dreamscythe members to transfer to Whitemane or for Mankrik players to be able to once again? Mankrik is very dead and not a good destination for the small pop that will be going to Era.
