As a reminder, there are a number of services available to players who wish to change where their character is situated.
Realm transfers are available between many realms. These can be initiated by logging into the game and entering the Shop on the bottom left of the character selection screen.
Many potential realm transfers are free. See our Support Article for a full list of free transfers.
The Faction Change service is available. This can be initiated by logging into the game and entering the Shop on the bottom left of the character selection screen.
Restrictions on using transfers and boosts on (previously) âFresh Startâ realms have been lifted. Players can transfer to and from those realms, as well as use a Character Boost on a character created on a (previously) âFresh Startâ realm.
UPDATE MAY 1
The following free character transfers are now available in this region.
Can we transfer from skyfury to benediciton now? I just logged in and checked, it still said benediction was locked. is there a full list of available servers?

I would appreciate this more if the last character transfer I bought actually worked. I wanted to move a character from my secondary account to my primary, and it keeps telling me that the destination realm (not sure why it says realm instead of account) is full in red text. So that was a waste of money.
Out of curiosity, why are some servers still locked at this point? Pagle was been unlocked for a few months now while Sulfuras has remained locked despite Pagle having a higher population than Sulfuras.
I see. You said that at the beginning â âas a reminderâ. Remind what the customers can do with the limited unsatisfactory options instead of giving what customers are asking for. It literally means that you wonât do anything to resolve the issues and you customers just take it or unsub. Good try for a communication blue post after being silent for such a long time.
Honestly, with the way that blizzard has handled server populations in classic, they really should just shut down the mega servers and force everyone to free transfer to other servers, placing a faction pop cap on each server so people can only transfer to servers that havenât met it.
The mega servers are just way too rediculous.
Also, cancel all auctions and force each server economy to start from scratch so itâs not so heavily inflated.
This is getting to a point of utter nonsense. You guys FINALLY did something after months and almost a year of absolutely nothing to help fix Sulfuras only to turn around, open up a âFullâ server like Whitemane to transfer, while idly sitting by and allowing Sulfuras to once again die.
I canât tell you how many times people have told me they have âfriends waiting to transferâ to Sulfuras only to be locked out while we have almost 1/3 the raiding population as Whitemane and still zero action on your part.
Incredibly disappointing once again. You guys have done an amazing job of being totally useless when it comes to helping balance the servers better. It ruins the game for people and forces them into paying you money to try to âfixâ the problem.
To put it into perspective:
Sulfuras has lost nearly 65-70% of its population since Wrathâs launch (20k or so active raiders to under 7k) and Whitemane has effectively remained unchanged (hovering between 18-20k).
Being on Sulfuras since the beginning, this server has been through a lot and it almost entirely revolves around incompetency from Blizzard.
Can you at least recognize finally the current status of skyfury as a very low population server and consider enabling free transfer? it is currently unplayable.
If u dont have intention of enabling it, at least be smart enough to say it and stop the poor hope of the small amount of ppl currently playing on the server hoping to receive a transfer anytime in the future.
Clearly, Blizzard is receiving lots of feedback about servers dying. Are there actually people that didnât know about paid transfers already? Cmon, Blizz! Couldnât even update your support article before pointing people to it with an official blue post! (Skyfury is not locked for paid transfers anymore.)
Sulfuras is slowly dying again for the 5th time yet you cant transfer there from any server. Also you can transfer from benediction to eranikus which has a higher pop but not to sulfuras?? what is the logic
