This transfer is not currently available for your characters faction

[Ithistra-ravencrest]

Perhaps you are one of those who thinks that the minority faction should be forced to play on a pvp server so the majority faction has enough players to farm for hk’s.

I’ve noticed that most of the Horde players in this thread are that way. Not surprising though, as they want to have easy kills.

[Myth-agamaggan (Myth)]

hey bud how clued do you have to be to realize that not everyone can be logged into the game to do the transfer in 2 hours or less. lol

They should just split the horde in two and dump all you alliance players on PVE servers where you belong.

All of this crying when you picked the minority faction on a PVP server. Don’t roll on PVP servers if you’re going to be little [Removed] about it.

[Longburn-frostmourne]

So your complaining about missing out on a transfer because they added factional restrictions to them exactly as players have been demanding for weeks ?

[Gantrithor-myzrael]

Not surprising though, as they want to have easy kills.

Right, because only the alliance is looking for 50:50 servers…

[Clothier-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Is that so you can tell everybody that you’re on a pvp server without having to worry about encountering actual pvp?

Putting all alliance on pve servers would mean no alliance for you guys to kill.

[Squancher-faerlina]

You apparently didn’t read what I wrote.

[Clothier-bloodsail-buccaneers]

The fact that people disagree with you does not mean they didn’t read what you wrote.

[Tylerman-illidan (Tylerman)]

they are allowing ally to go back. wash hands

[Kroaks-gorefiend]

Keep in mind the problem of being on a low Alliance pop server is not just that there’s a lot more Horde- it’s also low AH/trade chat participation, and difficulty forming groups outside of prime time hours. If the experience was poor, and an option for a better experience was provided, it would be dumb to not accept it.

Blizzard combined poor communication with poor execution. If they had said “Horde only” the guilds/friend groups would not have considered or attempted the switches, and if the servers still allowed for it, they would be able to infer this wasn’t intended and to attempt to do so would be risky. If they had implemented the code correctly, even if the guilds/groups had planned to move, they wouldn’t have been able to, and wouldn’t have had their guilds split. But because they did both poor communication and poor execution, guilds could plan to transfer, and they could start to transfer.

[Myth-agamaggan (Myth)]

This guy here gets it. this made it worse lol split up the remaining alliance folks on the servers and isolate others,

[Flocket-mankrik]

Indeed, “abandoning” your character means you feel you have no options. And right now, they don’t.

Not really. Taking a break from a character or characters is abandoning temporarily. I think what you mean is indefinitely which could only happen, if you delete the character.

You can “choose” to abandon your character and reroll on another server, losing months of work and leaving all your friends. Or you can quit the game. Those are the choices people have right now.

You can, also, choose to take a break. It’s not a be all, end all.

Perhaps you are one of those who thinks that the minority faction should be forced to play on a pvp server so the majority faction has enough players to farm for hk’s. Being forced to play on a pvp server to serve as fodder for the majority faction is a situation I would consider “unplayable”, just as a raider stuck on a realm with no raiding guilds would consider their situation “unplayable”.

Nah, I’m one of those people still questioning why people continue to roll on gankfest servers and still expecting them to be “fair”/“balanced”.

Each person decides for themselves what is “playable” and what is not, just as each person makes their own decision what is fun to them.

You can’t tell people whether they are right or wrong in finding a situation unworkable, just because you can imagine fictionalized circumstances that ought not to.

This has nothing to do with my question. Can you not Quest? Are Quest NPCs not popping out Quests? Are Vendors not accepting Trash Loot to Vendor? What is the objective “unplayable” cause here?

If someone has abandoned their character on an unplayable server and rerolled on another one, they’re not going back, regardless of how clever you think you are for telling us that’s an option. It’s not.

But it’s not gone forever. That’s what you keep missing. Servers go in and out of being “good” or “bad”, all the time. Why do you think I called it Server Hopping? Because it’s OK, for now, until it’s not, and people (generally speaking) begin Server Hopping, again. They’re not loyal to Servers, at all.

Folks:

Having trouble with a transfer

If you transferred before the Horde only option was activated, I’d recommend contacting Support. Due to the circumstances we may be able to revert the character move so you can return to the source realm.

Contact Customer Support using the In-Game options to do so. If you are alliance on one of the Horde-restricted transfer realms that they updated 2 hours ago in their sticky post.

WoW Classic Update Schedule and Free Character Moves

I’ve updated the original post here. Free Character Moves from Fairbanks, Herod, Incendius, Kromcrush, Skeram, and Stalagg are only available to Horde characters. We had some unexpected technical issues when we first enabled this service a couple of hours ago, and we’ve been working through those. Thank you!

You might be able to get your transfers reversed in this specific situation due to the circumstances. Seemingly, transfers to these servers for alliance were not supposed to be activated at all and some people who jumped on them at first open inadvertently were allowed through - thus, creating the problem.

[Snipy-faerlina]

How could they do this mid transfer?

Honestly, who cares? Whiny Alliance GETTING WHAT THEY ASKED FOR.

Great…so the next whines are going to be “why can’t i transfer just because im xxx faction, i wanted to last round but missed out because of work and now i can’t because its faction locked”

[Snipy-faerlina]

so the next whines are going to be “why can’t i transfer just because im xxx faction

Nah. It will always be Alliance.

@Egadz-stalagg

GG blizzard you just split a guild and a lot of friends.

LoL, you wine? You get a solution … again.

[Severon-stormrage]

hey look his race matches his fourm post

[Holycow-uldaman]

@Egadz-stalagg

The lack of a blue post of any sort is ridiculous. I know we aren’t the only guild or group of friends that have been split by this issue

Going to have to reverse transfers

Just painting that blue:

[Vallient-lothar-793622]

My guild was split as well, one guy left behind. Everyone else is now talking about quitting, you have got to be kidding Blizzard. Btw, thanks in advance for all the Horde troll responses about how dare I transfer to a balanced realm without queues, your garbage information and lack of empathy is critical in resolving customer service issues.
