So..my server is entirely dead and my only option is to pay an absurd amount of money?

Pretty messed up tbh… get on my character after a few months of not playing and the server is completely dead. WoW pop tracker has it at 0, completely empty.

I really wish Blizzard would be more on top of merging servers or offering free transfers for this kind of thing. We know they set up servers to fail just so they can charge crazy amounts of money to transfer off.

Super frustrating.

Some servers offer a free transfer, then another free transfer to a mega-server.

Sorry, I’m not in a position to mouseover and see your current server, but others will likely help fill in the missing information.

Don’t dispair.

“absurd amount of money” that never went up since it was added.

You can also level a new character on a new server

While this is true and wish the OP didn’t propose it this way. Blizz should be doing server management. It looks really bad when they don’t because it seems like it’s on purpose to make people spend more money to play a game they already bought and have a sub too.

So this really is on Blizz to manage the servers to provide a good gaming environment so communities can flourish.

Server imbalance is a player created issue, not a Blizzard one.

Players chose to stack servers and abandon healthy ones for a multitude of reasons. Just look at the single faction mega servers that are PVP in name only.

Sorry you missed the boat.

I took free xfers off of Mankrik to Eranikus and then again when they offered free transfers from Eranikus (and a boat load of other servers) to Faerlina without spending a dime.

This is a sock puppet thread though, so I’m hard pressed to believe we’ll see any form of a reply to anyone outside of shaking the metaphorical boat to rile up the beehive.

I may be pleasantly surprised though. :man_shrugging:t2:

I dont know how often I did that until I found my current main server. Luckily I simply enjoy playing the game so this never was an issue for me :slight_smile:

the players organically caused the servers to die.

this is how we, the players, wanted it to be.

we did this.

blizzard ‘fixing’ it would literally erase player actions. An arms race. A bad ending for both parties.

just looked at Skyfury and free transfers are open from it still.

Go to Skyfury > Shop > Services > Free character transfer.

From there, you have two options. It’s for this toon and you’re horde on Skyfury, right?
#1 Take the free transfer to Whitemane or
#2 If you want to go to Faerlina, which is the most popular server, select Sulfuras first, then once that character is on Sulfuras do the same thing and free transfer to Faerlina.

I don’t even play Wrath anymore but happened to see this thread. It’s good that a few people mentioned that free transfers were a thing and they were polite so props to those posters. My next two paragraphs are not directed at the posters trying to be nice to the OP.

The people who showed that they were both ignorant about the very game they play and about this ongoing free transfer option (which is basic knowledge as I know it and haven’t played Wrath since March and I both updated and checked Wrath to help the OP) AND decided to be rude jerks really says something about part of the WoW community and especially this forums population. Sorry you have to deal with that OP.

The sad part is that these threads come up all the time and the ongoing solution is rarely given but the snark from people who only come to these forums to be toxic, rude jerks to others almost always is there, no matter what. They really are the very thing that drags both these forums and WoW down.

They still have free transfers. This guy is just tweeking.

Dude we’re literally in the same boat. The replies to these threads make me remember why I stopped playing classic LOL

Yes op servers die and and blizzard WON’T do something because they can offer paid transfers and these bootlickers will love them for it. Worse on classic because of the already small player population.

Not sure what server your on but I just got back on after playing classic and transferred my warrior from sulfuras to benediction for free.
