Would other realms not be possible for people to transfer to rather than forcing two options to realms more dead than the ones that we were previously forced to move from due to closures?

I feel like the queues are getting worse, rather than getting better.
Is it log-in timer dodgers? or more people funneling in.
Either way, Sulfuras and Old Blanchy are DOA. Nobody is taking the transfers because of the faction imbalance and/or the 300 total population on the ironforge site.

RespectfullyâŚhuh?
Your insinuating that we are being willfully oblivious to something, but everyone here seems to be astutely aware of how much this burns the consumer.
Maybe I missed who or what you were directing that comment at.
Doesnt work when you restrict boosted chars from transfering, that where boosted before you added character transfers, and now you can no longer play them because you cant transfer them off the servers with 3 hour ques. So how bout refunds to everyone that cant play these chars that they paid to boost and can no longer play due to these outrageous que time and cant transfer to a server that they could play on. Or maybe fix these issues.
That make me really sad, me and some friends try to play Woltk, we started playning in benediction before the prepatch launch, we started to leveling to prepare our characters to play Woltk, now when i try to play i need wait 3 hours! They offering a free transfer to another realm, but dead realms? That really make me fell sad with that situation. They really dont care with us, just wanna earn some money when we transfer our character to dead servers, and more later pay to transfer back to live realms. I know that queue will over in one week, but that is really bad.

Remove these restrictions ASAP. Limiting characters on a server isnât going to accomplish anything when it comes to reducing queue times. Figure your sh!t out. Increase the max server pops or do something else, nobody is going to leave the populated servers because of âhypeâ queues that will last a couple weeks.
Please, remove these restrictions so I, and Iâm sure other players can be playing with their friends. Thanks.

This is a simple, yet effective business tactic. Blizzard is using this lock to create artificial demand for the boost.
If the concern would be that the population is too large and these servers have seen heavy queue times as per the post. The solution would be limiting or locking character creation while not allowing the use of the wrath 70 boost on these serves along with servers transfers. They have only locked the transfers because it will put us in a situation of desperation to play with our friends that we would buy a boost to avoid waiting for the lock to be removed.
Talk about squeezing out as much as they can out of the players base pockets.

Mankrik has no queue and my characters are all there except my auto transferred character from Stalagg to Sulfuras and now he canât join my mains? Open transfers to mankrik to people that have characters made there. Confused why you can still create new charactersâŚ
Iâm not on any of these particular servers (well, I have abandoned toons on Old Blanchy since itâs been dead for a while), but this is a pretty sad display on Blizzardâs part.
Sulfuras and Old Blanchy (along with Azuresong, Bloodsail Bucc, and Myzrael) arenât just comatose, theyâve been on a steady downward spiral. Merge or connect those, and maybe thereâs an upside to taking the jump, but independently theyâre in bad shape, especially given Blizzardâs claim that âcommunityâ is a central pillar.
This âtemporaryâ solution may kinda sorta get the megaservers through the hump, but it still really doesnât address server health at all more broadly.
Anyone taking that deal, unless they really want a near-solo game (and a few might) is going to regret it. Those servers are almost guaranteed to continue their decline after an initial bump.
As others have said, itâs unclear whether this is greed or just mismanagement. It would be generous to describe this move as âpuzzling.â

how about you nerds fix the servers so itâs actually playable instead of people having a 3+ hour queue around 2pm on a sunday

Anyone have any idea or prediction as to when transfers to Whitemane will open back up? My priest is stuck on Old Blanchy now 
I am already on one of these servers but cannot transfer other characters there. Yet I can boost a fresh one, or create a new one. It just doesnât make sense.

Add more layers.
Does anyone at Blizzard actually read the replies?

More layers wonât fix it, servers have a max capacity. Could be something like AH. Honestly, I donât personally understand it. I do remember reading that they have resources that spin-up so that if additional layering could alleviate/fix it, it would automatically be enabled.
Itâs a measure to keep players from migrating en masse to prevent queues from becoming worse than they already are. An appreciated measure, at that.
Any news on when/if boosted chars can take the transfer? Used my boost before queue times were a thing on Bene :\

Too little too late. We shouldnât have to transfer off realms where we have friends, raid teams, etc. because you didnât shut down transfers soon enough or not let people boost on overpopulated realms. Got dcâd today and now a 3 hour queue to get back in. People work during the week and come home to raid, legit wonât be able to because theyâll have a 3 or 4 hour queue. Does no one there have foresight or the ability to prevent issues before they become the mess weâre in now? Clearly not.
