Clarity on Transfer Gold Cap

Blizzard posted HERE that the gold cap restriction on transfers of 2,000g was being increased to 5,000g. Most people understood this to mean immediately, as gold caps on transfers in TBC allowed players above level 51 to move 5,000g. See: https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Transfer_limitations/Paid_Character_Transfer_FAQ_(US)?oldid=416423 However, according to THIS, the 5,000g limit doesn’t kick in until lvl70. So which of these is correct: Kaivax was unclear and meant only lv…

Server transfers

Hello yes! We intend to turn on the character transfer service soon after realms go live with the update next week. We need to keep transfers offline until we’re done snapshotting all characters, but that will be finished during maintenance, so realm transfers can be resumed thereafter. On a related note, we’ve made a small change to realm transfer restrictions. Previously, a player-character was restricted to taking a maximum of 2000 gold with them.

Character Transfer Information and Restrictions

I was able to move a level 52 character with 5000g once the servers & transfers were back online Thursday evening. Based on my reading of the forum posts above, this made sense to me; blue posts made it seem like it had been raised to 5k. However, on reading the support article, it comes into contradiction.

Is the gold cap now back to 2k? I had waited to move another character to gather some last few things, but now I am unable to move with the gold I had distributed.

I’m not here to agonize over the gold – I’m just trying to get some clarification so others don’t make this same mistake.

According to the Support article:
WoW Classic transfer cap is 2k.
TBC Classic transfer cap is 5k.

WoW Classic transfer cap is 2k.
TBC Classic transfer cap is 5k.

From level 51-69 the gold transfer limit is 2,000g and for level 70 characters the cap is 5,000g.

For a short time following pre-patch, the caps were not being correctly enforced for their level ranges. These ranges/caps could of course be adjusted in the future at the discretion of the World of Warcraft team.

Thanks for the clarification. Didn’t realize it depended on the level of the character as well.
