Looks like we got our free transfers. Unfortunately, it isn’t to the realms most people would want to go to… of course, it wouldn’t be…
Now the question is which realm should you transfer to if you want to take this free transfer option.
Arugal: While this realm does have a sizeable and decent population. It is an oceanic realm thus your connection may not be the best. It is also primarily horde for the few alliance left on Thunderfury.
Bigglesworth: Is one of the dying realms. I am completely unsure as to why Blizzard would put this on the list. This is a trap do not transfer here you will be looking to transfer again in a few months. Factions are also massively unbalanced in the horde’s favor.
Earthfury: While I do not consider this one of the dying realms… There is, however, a real concern to transfer here as after the current set of dying realms die, these ones would be next. If you are Alliance do not transfer here as you have no home. It is dead on the alliance side. Horde if you want to take a chance you could bolster this realm and bring the realm up to a solid mid-population realm.
Fairbanks: This is just pretty much a copy of Earthfury, but slightly less populated. Everything that applies to Earthfury applies here.
Grobbulus: This realm would be my overall recommendation for both alliance and horde. If you are willing to get over the whole RP thing. It is the best choice for your future time in WoW without the other mega-realms being on the list. It is the fourth biggest realm and our remaining Horde population would really help to balance out their realms faction balance bring it to more normal levels. In addition, this is also the realm a few former Thunderfury members fled to alongside Benediction and Faerlina.
Herod: Another one of the dying realms. Do not transfer here.
Netherwind: This realm is worse off then Thunderfury why is this on the list.
Sulfuras: This is just a better version of Earthfury.
Yojamba: Another Oceanic realms so I do not recommend going here.
