You’re not the only one considering unsubbing.

I have two more accounts, will unsub WOW2 in a week if no response, then WOW1 a week after that.

It’s all I can do. Blizzard can see my support history. The original transfer, the poor responses from GM’s that assured me there was no cooldown in ERA, the refunded transfer, the waiting patiently for 90 days to transfer back to Mankrik.

Anecdotally the whitemane rumour mill is saying that this is a response to people transferring to grob for world boss loot then transferring back again. Nothing to support this, but its more believable than :

OH WE NOTICED A MONEY TRAP AND WE’RE SUCH NICE GUYS WE TOOK IT AWAY

While leaving the cataclysm / progression paid transfer in the store alongside a $140 store mount.!

We’re not idiots. This is a wow-police overaction to something ingame that rubbed someone at blizzard the wrong way. REMOVE THE PAID TRANSFERS NOW I DONT CARE ABOUT ERRORS WE’LL FIX THOSE LATER etc.

We are collateral damage in something else that’s going on.

Wow. Someone cares if people spend $25 each to transfer to Grobb and form a party big enough to down world bosses and then transfer back with the loot? Who cares??? And this would be worse than an army of bots and farmers on Grobb working 24/7 farming mining nodes and herbs and then free transferring their stashes back to Whitemane???

I have a better solution. Turn the free transfers off of Grobb off. Then people won’t be able to transfer to Grobb to take advantage of the server and then just pop back off.

rumours only…

There would be a 90 day cooldown on grob after you got your loot. Maybe it’s part of the gdkp crusade blizzard are on of late? who knows.

I don’t know anything about the scene on Grob apart from hearing that there is something quite special going on over there!

We have a unique guild of Grobb survivors that downs Saph and KT regularly. Jarl is our mouthpiece here, search for his posts about us. We are well-known to the devs.

When will this be fixed? I have friends that are unable to transfer off of Whitemane to play with me on Mankrik. I don’t understand why this function was removed in the first place.

thanks for the support Yoof! <3

Hopefully with the extended maintenance today we get paid transfers back and they close free transfers.

One will hope. Blizzard did this on purpose. I may sound like a conspiracy nut (so be it) but my opinion is they did this on spite. They want 60 era dead. The less chances for servers to join together to continue a raid scene/community due to this. I wanted to transfer back to Bloodsail Buccaneers from Mankrik and I can’t now but I can do a free transfer from Bloodsail to Mankrik on my toons there even if the 90 days is still not up. I moved a level 11 rogue to Bloodsail just 45 days ago and was able to move it back free to Mankrik yesterday.

Also leading up to Fresh Mankrik had a gold bot pushing ADS in LFG constantly for 3 weeks driving people insane cause it just kept coming back. The joke was it was actually a Blizzard employee doing it to drive people to Fresh cause literally Fresh servers dropped and the Gold bot died in LFG.

Blizzard knows what they are doing. This is why I expect them to one day just wipe 60 completely and all 5 years of work gone. Why I don’t trust Fresh

4 hour extended maintenance, character transfers still not for sale, but still free off of Grobb. Very disappointing.

Blizzard, please stop diminishing small communities with harmful changes like removing the Paid Transfer Service that your customer are asking to pay to use.

Era is already a smaller game type compared to Anniversary or SOD. People still want to play here despite that.

However changes to remove the Paid Transfer Service, especially at a time where it is needed more than ever, is nothing but harmful to your paying customers.

For the first time in 3 years I’m wondering why I’m paying you still for my subscription when you actively change services at the detriment of one of your most loyal bases of players.

With new game modes coming out (a good thing!) existing communities on Era are shifting around. Players are requesting paid mobility from PvP to PvE or RP PvP. Our communities need this vital PTS to join like minded and stable groups of players who wish to continue on Era.

Players used to be able to pay you, happily, for this service. By removing it, you lock friends apart from eachother.

This is not respectful of the customer or players time.

Instead of finding a candidate who wishes to join us on Grobbulus, and telling them they are able to pay to migrate to our realm, I now have to ask them to level 1-60. Lol!

Instead of the players on Whitemane who are tired of GDKPs and looking for a community in Mankirk PvE, tough luck with your character with 60 days played time. You have to restart.

It’s not like the service was new. It’s been around for multiple years, and the sudden removal of it is nothing but disrespectful to a small and loyal faction of WoW players — the entire Era community. I won’t even get into the continued FCM exploitation that you’ve glaringly left in still.

We will not stop demanding change. And when I inevitably unsubscribe one day because our guild can no longer sustain directly due to this change, well you won’t care because we are an insignificant drop in the bucket to you. That’s how changes like this make us feel.

From valued customer to insignificant.

Your move.

Please reinstate the Paid Transfer Service to Classic Era.

Kethryllia, I see you answering other posts here today. How about our issue? No disrespect intended.

PLEASE restore this service! Not allowing character transfers between realms is preventing us from being reunited with our friend who wants to return to the Mankrik cluster! I am sure there are many others who would like this service restored so they can continue gaming with their friends. The social and community aspect of WoW Classic is vital to the health of the game. Blizzard we ask for you to restore this service and allow us to continue enjoying the game to the fullest with no hinderances to the social fabric!

Being perfectly honest, if I had updates that I could provide at this time, I 100% already would have. I have absolutely passed the feedback along, but I cannot reveal what plans we have, if any, until/if they’re announced publicly.

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything else to relay at this time. :frowning:
