Eranikus is now open for new character creation and transfers from other realms.
Please refer to this regularly-updated article for the status of all realms.
Updated September 16
In response to overwhelming feedback from players, Free Character Transfers are now available from Skyfury to Angerforge. We will monitor this transfer connection very closely, and it may be closed without notice.
Updated September 13
To reduce further overcrowding, we’ve temporarily disabled new character creation on the Fresh Start realm Skyfury. New or returning players who wish to try out a Fresh Start on a PvP realm may now select the Angerforge realm, or the Maladath realm if they’d like a bit less PvP.
Updated September 9 - 1:00 p.m.
Free character transfers from Benediction to Sulfuras are again available, for Alliance player characters.
To provide players who wish to escape the queues with a pristine environment to begin creating communities together, we have now opened a new destination realm for Free Character Transfers from overpopulated realms: Eranikus (PvP).
This realm can only be accessed via free transfer from Benediction, Faerlina, or Grobbulus. Additionally, all four of these realms are now locked for character creation, which means that it is only possible to create a character on the realm if you already have a character on that realm.
Please note: we will close free transfers to Eranikus when we see it approaching a population that is so high that it might begin queueing. This may occur without a great deal of warning.
Over the last week, transfers to the Sulfuras realm have been successful enough that it is approaching full population. To prevent Sulfuras from requiring a queue, we will close have closed Free Character Transfers to Sulfuras tomorrow, Thursday, September 8 at 12:00 Noon PDT.
Thank you very much for going forth and populating this new realm!
Adjustments have been made to some high-population realms in this region.
To prevent further overcrowding, we are now restricting transfers to:
Benediction
Grobbulus
Faerlina
Mankrik
Pagle
Whitemane
