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

The page for eligible server transfers has not been updated since November 22, 2022, I think they either forgot or just do not care. Correction December 6th but this post has not been updated since November.

Transfers are poison for realm communities. Player-elected transfers especially ought to be retired indefinitely.

Can you please open character transfers up on Faerlina. I would like to play this game and on Sulfuras I cannot. Literally cannot find a group to do anything on Sulfuras.

A response from Blizzard would be nice atleast. Is the support team even seeing this post? Has blizzard completely forgotten about re-opening servers? For people like me who have transferred mains onto dead servers some answers here would be nice. Thanks.

Can we talk about the server Maladath specifically on the Horde side.

I see a couple issues causing me to log off becuase of low population due to people raid logging if they even show up which is about every other week.

-Makes finding a pug for raids extremely difficult later on in the week. Total of 10 players in Naxx last night on a Saturday night 8pm PST. Finding a group for Dungeons is just as bad. Iā€™ve only had results after offering 100g for a tank or healer to join us. We need something asap to fix this.

Possible solutions I believe would be the original LFD tool, or opening server transfers to Maladath.

Let me know youā€™re thoughts on this guys.
Thanks in advance!

I am actually surprised that Maladath isnā€™t open for tranfers to or off.

Please open up transfers if we have characters on a locked realm. My main is on Bene (as is my Guild Iā€™ve been playing with the entirety of Wotlk Classic). I transferred my Hunter to Erakinus when the Queues were terrible so Iā€™d at least have something to play after work until they died down on Benediction. But now that character is stuck.

As everyone (Blizzard + Forums) have explained to me, Ret (my main on Bene) is not a real DPS, and if I want to do damage, I should switch classes. I would love to have my Hunter on Bene so I could help my Guild Prog Ulduar, but for some reason that was never fully explained when I transferred him off, I canā€™t transfer him back.

Itā€™s incredibly disappointing and somewhat illogical that I can make a Level 1 Hunter on Bene and level him to 80, but I canā€™t transfer my Level 80 Hunter to Benediction. Itā€™s a huge bummer. Please give us an update and modify the restrictions so those of us who can make characters on a realm can also transfer there.

This is even incredible under blizzardā€™s cringy standards. OPEN THE SERVERS AT LEAST TO THOSE WITH MAINS

So there are like 1.9k something posts on this thread. I have a feeling either blizzard is too concerned with other things or just do not care. To even give a update or simply reply.

It is rather sad and annoying imo.

The simple truth that Blizzard needs to face is that preserving/trying to replicate ā€œServer Identityā€ isnā€™t worth all the negatives. These negatives being: insane Queue times upon release/patches; one-faction mega servers; no world PvP; not being able to find groups; not being able to find arena partners; not being able to play with your friends.

I donā€™t blame Blizzard for trying to maintain server identity. I still remember the first server I ever played on 15 years ago (Spinebreaker). That said, the gaming atmosphere isnā€™t the same anymore. Everyone these days watches guides and streamers and youtubers, and because of this, everyone would prefer to be on a server together. At least, the vast majority of people (which is why we have Mega-servers).

Blizzard just needs to bite the bullet and enable Cross-Realm functions across the game. Allow people to join arena/dungeons/raids/bgs no matter the server. Let people phase into other servers so they can play with their friends. And also allow other players to phase into servers so there is a balanced Horde to Ally ratio in the open world (for PvP Servers).

I understand Server Identity, but the cost for trying to maintain it isnā€™t close to what we are losing by the current locked/one faction/mega-server situation. Bite the bullet. Implement it ASAP. Itā€™ll be a huge net-positive for the game.

Iā€™m suprised Sulf is locked but WM is not.

I understand keeping servers healthy but there hasnā€™t been a blue post from Blizzard even acknowledging peopleā€™s concerns or wants.

Hurry up and link Arugal with Yojamba

It would be nice for sure to have some servers linked up.

all of my friends are on sulf imagine they secretly open it up with the maintenance today been on retail just waiting for it

Oh boy I canā€™t wait for the brief resurgence of players for Ulduar to be used to justify the servers remaining locked only to go back to zero queues in a week. And still I will not play as all my friends are on a different realm and I CBA to pug.

Itā€™s actually so incredibly frustrating. I just want to bring my Hunter over so I can help my Guild for the first few weeks of prog before switching back to main (Ret).

I had zero idea that transferring my Hunter alt during the insane Queues would mean I could never transfer him back. It made perfect sense that if I could create a level one on Benediction, then I could also transfer characters there.

Honestly just so frustrated with Blizzard. All I want to do is play the game, and they make it so hard to do so.
