Paid Character Transfers Now Available

omg. this isn’t a one way transfer??!!

i might as well transfer to a dead realm. get r14, then transfer back. Now you can get a jerk to everyone, get a reputation, then transfer off.

Garbage.

Paid slows things down, but doesn’t stop them.

Yes. Similar to Free Character Moves, when you use the Paid Character Transfer service, you keep your rank.

However, you lose any kills that you’ve accrued for that week.

Oh boy look at this… time to farm low pop

Can you switch factions with a character transfer?

Paid character transfers was implemented during vanilla WoW.

My question is is there going to be a 6-month cool down like there was in vanilla. EDIT: Looks like 3 months.

I see why you only have 1 post.

just like all the hoarding merchers that stock items hoping for them to shoot up in price with updates, only to find them tank because everybody stocked up… all the nolifers will xfer to low pop with all the other nolifers, ruining the low pop brackets with 2-3m honor per week for a handful of high bracket spots, while the high pop realms get dozens of high bracket spots and now all the nolifers are gone

Wow what a massively stupid decision. Grats to all the $25 low pop HWL/GMs, and to all the casuals & bads who think a server transfer away from the competition is the answer (Swifty).

And no restrictions on server/faction means the balance issues are now going to grow completely out of control. With all these terrible decisions lately a private server is going to hit in 6/8 months and you can say bye to half your player base.

Revert this cash grab now.

Stop being disingenuous. Say when they were and how. They were limited server to server and the option to freely go anywhere wasn’t implemented till Naxx/TBC.

Their is restrictions, you can’t xfer to a full realm. Swifty’s dream of transfering back to Faerlina won’t happen. Good.

Its limited now, you can’t xfer to full realm.

EDIT: Wait, what do you mean by limited server to server? Do you mean server type? According to the news article, there’s no transferring between PVE and PVP realm types.

And…

Don’t be a brat about it! I wasn’t doing anything more than stating that they existed during vanilla. That is simply where my point ended.

Nope. Anyone under the activision umbrella is doomed.

90 days now. So half of what it used to be.

Will it be possible in the future to change your characters faction when transferring to a different realm? I have a 57 horde character i would like to bring over to a realm where i have a 60 Alliance character and I’d love to be able to just make my level 57 toon an alliance so i can play them again.

Thanks for the update.

If everyone on Server A is making 1+ million honor a week and Server B is doing the same except their population is smaller. Moving to server B will actually reduce your chances of ranking up due to how the bracket system works. That is if hypothetically there are players PvPing the same amount.

It’s kind of funny how they went from hardly ever posting to only posting a link to a thread posted elsewhere.
