Transfer Restrictions and Free Character Transfers Now Available -- Updated Nov. 22

Start unlocking the servers slowly, at least for character creation, these servers have been locked for more than 40 days and that’s enough to sort out the queues already.

It has only JUST become enough as of like… 1 week ago.

It’s a trending thing, these servers and this game is losing players on a daily basis, now is the time to start unlocking servers, so they have time to observe if servers really need to locked again or not before Ulduar hits. And by the look of it, just opening character creation on the 4 locked realms wouldn’t have a big impact on Ulduar launch because most of the players who quit during phase 1 won’t be coming back either way.

They need to unlock them with a narrow scope. tons of us have friends locked off the server. Small queues are fine and a sign of a healthy server IMO. This would help maintain the health of the servers.

Will Mankrik be opening soon for transfer? There have been no extended queues let alone queues at anytime of the day. I’d very much like to play with the rest of my family and friends…

Can we get a blue post update on this please? Having friends come back to play unable to transfer to join the rest of their friends kills the fun.

I have returned to play with my friends on Sulfuras and was surprised when I was not able to create a new character on the realm. Please Unlock the realms so we are able to play with friends!

Can we get like some kinda road map at least? So I know how long it will be before I’m allowed to play with my friends? Just a spec… a drop of communication?

Can we at least transfer if we have 3x active level 80s and a bunch of 70s on a locked server already?

I can’t transfer lvl 70 horde alts off Mankrik to Pagle to play with the 5 horde that are still clinging to Pagle, let alone a stray 70 alliance there.

But I can boost or start more level 1s. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

i totally agree

Please open Mankrik for paid transfers! I took a free transfer from Faerlina horde to Bloodsail Buccaneers and the horde side is very low pop. There are only 1-2 auctions for major gems. Only about 500 players at peak hours are online on horde side. It’s really depressing and it’s about to make me quit playing the game. I have friends on Mankrik that I can’t play with even though queues haven’t existed on that server for nearly a month

Hey @kaivax @blizzard we need an update on this please! It’s been over 2 weeks of nothing. Please provide us an explanation as to why we cannot transfer a character to a server where we already have characters. There is no more additional load on active logins and you are still making $25.

If you are purposefully locking transfers, while allowing us to create a brand new character, that makes literally no sense. Other than the fact that you are intentionally exploiting your game to have your customers only solution be to pay $50 for a boost as opposed to $25 for a transfer.

The WOTLK Classic community needs feedback from the Devs, Community managers, and Blizzard in general as to why this is being allowed. Would the solution be to offer transfers at $50 so we can still play with our friends while consolidating existing characters on other servers? If you allowed me to transfer my characters I could consolidate my total character footprint from 4 servers to 2. All while still maintaining my 1 character per account active login load.

There seems to be more at play then just server congestion issues, that don’t exist for most servers now, and it feels like it is more about how much money people are willing to pay for a boost as opposed to wait for you to unlock transfers. I hope I’m wrong, but actions have spoken louder than words so far.

Allow cross realm arenas if you are going to lock servers.

It’s past time to unlock servers. The initial strain is over. Let friends play together again.
