Character Xfer

[Envøyz-turalyon]

Please allow people that already have characters on Faerlina to move their other characters to the server aswell, now since its locked my toons are on seperate servers now. I understand locking xfers for people that dont have any characters on this server but come on blizzard!

They’ve already said that is technically not possible. Locked is locked, there is no way around it.

It seems more like an oversight than an intentional restriction. Unless they’re trying to maximize the players they keep away from these locked servers, by discouraging them from playing there even if they have already have access.

[Morenna-pagle]

No, I mean it is not actually possible… it won’t let characters be transferred to it period. There is no switch that allows some characters but not all. It’s either on, or off.

[Gosakii-aegwynn]

So it’s an oversight. If OP wants to play Faerlina no matter what, he can, the locking isn’t keeping him from getting into the server, he’s just being impeded from getting his other characters in the server he wants to play in.

[Morenna-pagle]

I mean, maybe? But it is something the devs will have to fix (or not), and devs aren’t present on the forums.

Left behind by blizzard

My guild who are my close friends and I have raided with for the last 2 years since classic recently made the decision to leave dying Sulfuras because we were familiar with how it felt to be on a dead server since we had come to Sulfuras earlier this year when free transfers were offered off of Bigglesworth (Grobb was not an option at the time because you were not allowed to have alliance and horde on the same server and some of us had alliance chars there). We decided to go to Grobbulus because…

The Update:

@Gillyc-sulfuras

Bumping to give an update. I have spoken to 2 GM’s since writing this post and both of them told me it was not possible to forcibly move my character past the restrictions the devs have in place and instead offered me a free transfer to my guilds new server when the restrictions are lifted. Unfortunately, the devs have said it may be “many months” before they unlock the servers so my wrath launch is ruined and the uncertainty around the timeline of when I will be able to join my guild has me reconsidering if I would even want to reactivate my sub at this point as I would be many months behind and the whole situation has left such a sour taste in my mouth.

The most frustrating thing about the whole situation is I do genuinely think the people from customer support want to help me and they are acknowledging that they have done wrong by offering my a free transfer down the road but they are not able to actually help me because their hands are tied by the developers who are the ones who put me into this situation with their lack of communication about locking the servers and about when to expect arena awards. If I had known I had to choose between playing the first few months of wrath with my friends and my arena title I would have chosen my guild without a doubt.

Weird, doing that for me too, but if you click open in new tab it should work.
