How long does realm transfer take?

I paid for a WotLK classic realm transfer about 20 mins ago. The payment went through (the funds were taken out of my account), but the order still says “pending” on the BNET transactions page.

Is this normal?

While it typically only takes a few minutes for the actual transfer, the system has been overloaded, since the free character migrations from high pop servers are the same thing. Payments can take up to 24 hours to process.

I’d say give it the full 24 hours before you really start to worry.

OK thanks, hopefully it doesn’t take too long as it was almost instant for my wife and she’s there just waiting for me to join lol

You bet. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too much longer! Good luck!
