Sure, but they already had it disabled for their “fresh realm” movement. This change is impacting all other servers now — the ones with the Naxx geared toons already on it. Preventing people from Whitemane switching to Mankirk, or to Grobbulus, where we already have Naxx gear and are not trying to create a fresh movement.
All this does is harm communities, and prevent players from moving to realms that align with their goals.
On Grobbulus, we’re simply looking to have people allowed to migrate their existing characters to Grobbulus in order to join our guilds here, and offer an alternative from Whitemane for players.
We have players happily pay to transfer their toons from Whitemane & Mankirk to join a small community vibe on Grobbulus. We have players currently waiting for blizzard to re enable this service so they can come play with us on their existing level 60s.
Players assumed for a long while that the only option to play Era was on Whitemane and/or Mankirk. However we’ve been growing on Grobbulus for over 3.5 years, and as more players found our message, they’ve switched their home to Grobbulus.
Preventing the paying consumer from paying for a service they gain value from is crazy — all in the name of protecting them from a money trap. If that’s the case, make it a Free Character Move! Enable player movement and choice. There’s nothing to lose here, and by disabling this service, it actively harms small communities like Grobbulus Era.
