Wonder if we can get some extra support in here for them to lift the PVP/PVE restrictions on transfers as well. This block hasn’t existed in WoW at all for some time, seems arbitrary to bring it back for this very niche thing. It only serves to hurt the few people that it affects.
They talked about doing just this, but honestly free transfer to any Era realm would work just as well - or maybe even better, as some of us already have 10 characters on the Era servers.
Just have Hordies and Allys on two different realms in the same cluster … problem solved.
What they talked about, was allowing transfers to any realm, as long as it matched your server type (PVP/PVE). My request was, that since that realm type restriction has not existed in any form of WoW, retail and Classic, in quite some years, that it makes no sense for it to pertain to this transfer as well.
Ahh sorry yes THAT restriction is quite meaningless, sorry I’m too focussed on having free transfer to all Era realms. I read it as Era Ally & Hordie on same realm restriction, which I think should remain as clustering solves this problem.
The PvP/PvE restriction is totally meaningless - what about RP servers too?

Servers/Transfers are up.
Lame, they kept the PVP/PVE type restriction in 
I just don’t get why. Hell, if you pick Era as your destination, you can even pick PVE or PVP? >.>
So for the people that transferred their SOM characters initially, are they screwed?
did you ticket?
No, but I’ll try.
Dunno if that will work but it can’t hurt.
Mentioning that monkey wrench that Blizzard threw in might get some traction.
Just adding my reply on the pile that I would like to transfer my SoM character to my Wrath Classic server that is currently locked. Makes no sense that I can’t have one more character on the server, it’s not like I’m adding to the queue or server traffic.
I wish we could xfer to any realm we want. Stuck with a SoM alt that I won’t do anything with atm due to the awkward xfer restrictions
Their PvE->PvE and PvP->PvP restrictions for the transfer not only don’t make any sense, they aren’t even consistent. You can transfer a PvE server character to Whitemane (PvP). Lift the restrictions and let people go to their home servers with their characters instead of arbitrarily trapping some people because of a meaningless distinction.
I placed a ticket and a posted a thread on the wow customer support forums. The feedback I received there on the forums was that customer support would not be able to help with this issue. It is simply up to the developers to decide whether they want to allow/open transfers again for those of us who acted on the initial announcement.
Please see below for the post I made & subsequent replies:
Sadge.
I agree with perl 
Updating my classic logs. lul
In EU we can choose transfer from SoM to TWO out of 36 realms in Era - one PvP and one PvE … you once again forgot our RP servers and the German, French and Spanish servers … please redo this!
