For approximately one day, the new realms will be restricted to only those players using a free character move. After one day, any player may create new characters there. This is to allow players using the free character move service a better chance at retaining the name of the character they’re moving.
We will let you know when the new realms open and free character moves are enabled.
We should be allowed to go both ways. During the confusion a lot of us rerolled but now are well beyond the level we started at on the high pop servers. Please consider this, thank you.
This makes absolutely no sense to me, if you just allow people to transfer to the full servers then its a wash. They would still have high wait times and everyone would still be raging on here.
I’m not even going to consider swapping if you’re just going to allow us to pick a low pop server to go to. I’m not going to drop my time investment to go to a “new realm” that will probably be a dead realm in a few weeks.
All Original servers should be able to move to any realm. Half my Friends are on my current realm and half on another. Forcing me onto a new realm solves nothing whatsoever. GET A CLUE BLIZZ!
What are you talking about? There are 20k queues any realm with transfers open on them will become high pop.
Also those realms with smaller queues are transferring to already existing medium pop realms. So they will be high pop too. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LOW POP REALM. Every realm is 10x the size of retail launch full realms.
It helps by solving the realm queue issue and by assuring that every new server will be high pop. Realms with smaller queues are able to transfer to existing medium pop servers (which are already multiple times larger than full retail launch realms so its not even comparable) and realms with 10-20k queues are getting new fresh servers that will instantly become high pop realms.
Also, all these realms are opening to everyone a day later after you get your guaranteed name so if you have friends who have been bouncing around in permanent limbo being chased by queues, they can join you as well.
Netherwind ruined, you’re letting 60’s xfer to a realm that the highest lvl is 40, with an extra 4 days played time and abused dungeon grinding and layer hopping.
I already rerolled off of incendius after playing there for 3 days, now I have 2 warlocks each around the same level with the same played time between the 2 servers because you couldn’t announce transfers when you opened the realm.
Except it doesn’t. If player A is on Herod, player B is on Incendius, player C is on Deviate Delight (this is actually pretty much the situation with my guild, fyi) this does absolutely nothing to help.
