For approximately one day after free character moves to a realm begin, these new realms will be restricted to only those players using a free character move. After one day, any player may create new characters there. This is to allow players using the free character move service a better chance at retaining the name of the character they’re moving.
Your announcement suggests that over the next “approximately 1 day” all 3 new realms will begin accepting transfers. Should either amend that or start posting your planned times for the other realms to open up so players know it might be later today / early tomorrow (if this is in fact the case).
hmm… yeah that was the first place I checked, because that’s where I see it on Retail. But I don’t see it on char select screen for Classic. Maybe it only appears for certain (eligible?) realms?
It works. Now you don’t type in your server to transfer to, Earthfury shows up on a list. Wait time 1-3 hours it looks like. Got two transferring now, so multiple characters appears to be possible. Good luck to all Herod and Skeram refugees.
I have a 34 hunter on Herod horde, there’s absolutely no way im taking a free transfer to alleviate queue times for people if I’m unsure of whether I’ll be able to paid xfer back to herod to play with all of my friends, and no, they’re not going to leave herod either because they also have friends of friends who play on herod. If I was sure there was going to be paid xfers in a months time, or two months time etc I’d do it.
