Free server migration off dead/locked realms

Like others have said unless they are closing a realm they will only ever offer transfers from high pop realms to low pop ones. Giving them on low pop realms would only make things worse.

I wholeheartedly agree that this is the appropriate use for transfers in theory. But, in practice, LOL, if only this were true! Transfers have been shamefully mismanaged throughout Classic’s history.

More to the point, OP you should have a free transfer available for any and all Classic Era characters to either The PvP West (Whitemane) or PvE East (Mankrik) clusters.

They will never make free transfers from low pop servers

You are sorely mistaken. I made a thread about this very topic (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/classic-era-exploitation-of-free-transfers), over a year ago, covering a problem which began years prior. It still holds true and is the reason I’ve stopped playing WoW.

Here is more evidence that Classic Era Free Transfers are being abused to mule resources off low-pop realms:

@Kynsa-mankrik

The problem isn’t transfers to, its transfers off the servers, because the bots basically go to empty servers, fill up a level 1 alts, then push all the consumes to higher population servers. So if you blocked characters below 60 from transferring with herbs/mines/etc and made everything bound it would solve most of the farming problem at least on smaller servers, where they get used a feeder server for mankirk/whitemane.

@Psychachi-mankrik

Yea there are a few people I met who said they have a 60 to farm on zero pop servers and use lvl 1 alts to mule mats over to high pop realms for profit since its a free transfer.
