Free Character Transfers for Burning Crusade Classic Realms

Also ITT: a bunch of people from completely healthy and non-dead servers complaining that their server is dead.

Well… This is a pretty underwhelming and disappointing list of realms. Was any thought or consideration put into this?

There are servers that have egregiously unbalanced server population and are nowhere to be found. Blizzard can’t even think to merge any of these imbalanced servers?

In fact, it is quite laughable that blizzard forces players to pay to play on such servers. Netherwind has a single Horde Guild raiding and yet they all have to pay the same subscription other people have to pay yet those other players get a viable Auction House, an engaging leveling experience, an active LFG channel and PUGs, an experience you know actually worth paying for…

The metrics used to decide who gets a transfer and to where might as well have just been darts thrown at a board, because there are plenty of servers not on this list that could benefit.

Insane Blizzard allows such faction imbalance in the first place for a subscription based game which snow balls into mass exodus of guilds off of a server. Netherwind was lively 2 months ago and now it’s a complete desolate wasteland. But hey the server population is “medium” despite one side having less than 40 players on at one time at peak hours. Which oh yeah alliance are leaving so the population is shrinking. Guess we missed the cut off.

I’m not asking for a lot. Just to have the option to leave a server that for my “faction” has an egregiously low population, the same option. That Blizzard is giving others.

Guess your completely lost they are options LoL

Why are you allowing Horde to transfer to Faerlina or Alliance to Benediction?

I get that you aren’t going to do anything to fix the faction imbalance problems but this is actively making it worse.

What are Blizz taking to think that Felstriker is a high pop server? 0 raiding horde guilds, 1 raiding ally guild, 20 items on the AH in its peak.
Someone screwed that list up.

PLEASE consider looking at medium pop PVE servers…I play Horde on Myzrael and it is honestly awful. Sure we’re a “medium pop” server but with barely 1k players on Horde (this includes all characters i’m pretty sure) the game is becoming unplayable. Guilds are mostly long dead or dying because there are no players to recruit. It’s a massive struggle to form groups for essentially anything. It’s an absolute shame we have to pay the same amount of money as people who get to play on servers with healthy populations. SOS on Myzrael Horde. Please!

What about the pve server?

Well this is the nail in the coffin for medium servers. The only reason someone would go to most medium servers is 1) because they’re intimidated by the “full” status of other servers and 2) because they didn’t do any research at all before initiating a transfer.

At this point anything under “high population” should truly be considered dead, and I know there’s been plenty of conversations both here and on Reddit that doubt the viability of “high” servers.

The fact that Blizz is allowing transfers to servers like Sulfuras and Rattlegore is just plain tone-deaf. Speaking from Sulfuras experience, we’ve got a horde-only community of raid-loggers with very little activity outside the 4pm-midnight window each day, and it’s only getting worse. If you’re looking at Sulfuras to use your free transfer, DONT!!!

As a member here, I’m going to enjoy using part of my yearly bonus from a GOOD Fortune 500 company to pay for the alts I’ve dedicated some real time on to xfer to a full server. I’m certainly glad my company isn’t as garbage and toxic as Blizzard, sad how things went so far downhill when they sold to Activision (my god, who could have predicted this?!) but still the Kotick crap reveals that no matter what there were problems inside.

Ok so that was rambling and off topic, but hey good luck everyone! Blizz won’t be doing crao to try to balance your servers for PVP and they don’t give a little damn about dying servers in the mid-range, so just go to a full/high of your faction and enjoy the death of world PVP like the rest of us.

How is Netherwind not in this list when Horde has at most 40 players at peak hours. Auction House is empty and it’s impossible to do dungeons.

It’s because they are utterly incompetent. Have you managed to not notice this for the last ten years?

Obviously I was expecting they they didn’t consider faction differentiation for those free server transfers. Mankrik Alliance is in a rough spot and it’s gonna keep getting worst. A good portion of the resistance still on it is against paying for server transfer and would rather quit. What are you gonna do Blizzard, let us go and lose our monthly sub?

You really don’t know what you are doing.

This is bleeding for medium populated servers who can’t transfer for free.

Bloodsail Buccaneers needed free transfer and you blew it.

Hi,

Do regular paid character transfer service gold cap restrictions still apply? With the regular gold cap I’m not going to be able to transfers off with the rest of my guild (and the other alliance guilds on the server). Sure I could leave the gold behind, but, you know, just deleting 140k+ gold doesn’t feel good.
