Does blizzard even look at this!!! They just sucking up our money but won’t respond for sh&t. WOTLK was the best xpac for SO many people and you are ruining that for them… do what’s right stop playing with people money.

Especially when raids open after 1 week

Just want to be able to transfer my guys to Grobb where I have existing characters. Same account…again why can I boost or create a new toon, but not transfer one? It makes no sense!

The original blue comment on locking servers was that transfers weren’t working sufficiently to end queues and more people needed to move, so they took the “very heavy-handed” approach of locking the largest 4 servers (Bene/Grob/Faer/Skyfury). Sulfuras was reaching ‘close to full’ so they decided to end free transfers there. But apparently they went so far overboard with Sulfuras that not only did they end free transfers on 9/9, they fully locked the server and to avoid the same situation on Eranikus it was functionally locked as well. I say ‘apparently’ because there has been no further blue update other than a note about a bug.

So due to their own error or incompetence, Sulfuras now has to be locked. However, Sulfuras doesn’t have free transfers anywhere else to reduce the population which was the planned solution on the other locked realms, i.e. the server became overpopulated because of their mistake and now they are doing nothing to address that overpopulation.

If you did what Blizz wanted and transferred to Sulfuras reduce the queue problem, if any of your friends didn’t make it in time or want to join fresh that’s too bad, pay up and transfer again (if you’re even able with the time limit on transfers). If you were already on Sulfuras and have friends that want to come back for wrath that’s too bad, pay up and go to some other server. Seems like there’s a common denominator here.

Day 5 after disappointing my uncle by not being able to transfer my warlock after promising him I would. We use to land in the Boney Burbs together and hold it down. I’ll be lucky if he’ll even get in the same discord as me let alone ever play Fortnite together again. I feel as if the guild is turning against me. Time will tell. Maybe Ion will one day open transfers again to Whitemane.

Thank you for opening free transfers to Earthfury.

Grobbulus to Bloodsail Buccaneers is also great to see for RPers who don’t care about the PVP.

That’s honestly awesome that the people on so many of these mostly one-sided servers finally have a way out without paying for it.
