I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding transferring wow classic characters to a different wow account… How is this not allowed? It doesn’t damage or change the integrity of the game. I’ve seen many posts like this before, I’m surprised that blizz hasn’t made this available yet. Please listen to your community on something that should have been implemented with character transfers… It will be easier to merge characters of two accounts together, instead of paying a separate subscription to both or having to pick one account and character to play over the other because you can’t afford two subscriptions.

Some people do believe it changes the integrity of the game. Some people also believe it’s a form of cheating, because you can boost yourself and then transfer those characters to the one account, then unsub the second account later.
Some people think it makes it easier for people to sell accounts (it doesn’t).
I think it’s about time blizzard puts this into the game. If people want to do it, let them do it. We’ve been able to do this on retail since day 1. Classic shouldn’t be any different.

We really don’t need it easier to sell your 10 level 60 hunters robot leveled.

It’s a #change really that has been implemented into Classic that wasn’t present during Vanilla, and it’s curious as to why it is this way.
Is it simply that it was a missed feature of transfers by the product managers, or is there intention? If the latter, then what is that intention?
For what it’s worth, this is nonsense if (and we are) we are talking about same bnet account, different WoW account (under that same bnet account - with the exact same login credentials).

Yeah it needs to be added. You can’t really even server transfer because of all the locked servers so the regular server transfer isn’t even really available. It doesn’t do any damage to the game. You can still boost and sell characters on different accounts anyway.

I would love this. I would love to get my hunter and lock on my other account so i can have a toon in the city doing Xmuts and spamming for recruitment while i level.

There are literallly millions of changes that “don’t damage the integrity of the game”. Those millions of changes are NOT made.
So that isn’t the rule – changes are not automatically made UNLESS they provably damage the game.
If you want a change, you must show how it benefits thousands of players (out of the millions of players in the game).
How does this change help people? Why don’t you list 3 COMMON scenarios – 3 situations that MANY players are in, where this rule will help them.
“Because I want it” is not a reason for a change.
We don’t need to show anything. It’s actually a change to NOT have it in the game, since we have been able to do this on retail since day 1.

It is a change from how vanilla transfers worked. At the time there wasn’t even bnet accounts.
For an authentic recreation, people should be able to transfer to any account - within in the same bnet or not - with matching names and gov’t ID, exactly as could be done in vanilla.

I am happy with either or as long as I get account wide transfers. I have no desire to sell accounts, characters or gold.

It was 100 percent available in vanilla.
Perhaps my wording was awkward.
I meant not having the ability to transfer between accounts that you own is a change.
I’m beginning to get a sense that it’s a multiboxer request. I’m not sure why they want it but that the two replies declined to answer this request leads me to believe the answer would hurt their case for the change. It’s probably useful for them to more effectively exploit the economy.

It’s possible.
In my case, I had read something about someone restoring their original WoW account a couple of months before the launch of Classic, and put in a ticket to see if I could do the same.
To my surprise, I was able to get back a Priest and Warlock that I had actually deleted during BC, when they were max level at the time, because it was prior to in-game race/sex changes, and I had regretted some choices. That account existed prior to BattleNet accounts, and was then added as a second account to the one I currently play.
When Classic first launched, there were long queues for my preferred server, so I decided to play a character on my other account while waiting in queue. It turns out that I’ve spent enough time waiting in queue to have a level 59 warrior on my other account, on another server.
I had just assumed that when transfers were enabled, I would be able to transfer my queue alt to my main account and server.

This is pretty much the same thing that happened to me. I’m in your same situation man. It’s ridiculous that I’ve seen so many threads about this and they have failed to even acknowledge anything.

It doesn’t hurt the economy. It was available in classic. It doesn’t promote character, gold or account selling. it was available in classic. Activision Blizzard is just ignoring the request. It’s pretty stupid too. People who complain about it are just bad.
-
Make a new Mage on that server/account/etc.
-
Sell boosts for gold only and only in public Blizzard channels so you don’t get banned.
-
Make your preferred alt and buy boosts to 60 using only gold and only on Blizzard public channels so you don’t get banned.
-
Continue to sell boosts on your Mage to simply BUY PreRaid BiS and/or BiS forever gear for the preferred alt.
In all seriousness, just join them and AoE grind. If you hate Mages, use a Paladin, but they are surprisingly not as robust vs a Mage pull. Paladins CAN do instance farming well, but not AS well.
There really isn’t much point to paid server transfers now due to boost services.
PLEASE NOTE: There is not a ToS violation, because the exchange is gold-only and is done only on Blizzard channels for chat.
No. If it was available in vanilla. It should be allowed. LoL.

Account to account transfer, please. I have 3 chars now, crafting/trading on one means I can’t play the others.
When I started the game in July, I didn’t foresee the need to use multiple accounts, now I do.
Take my money and let me split up my characters !!! I’m paying you double !!!

it’s more money in blizzard’s pocket… That is typically the only thing they care about. It is odd… Only thing I can think of is they don’t want to increase the number of players online at a time.
