I wrote about the same concern. I can buy a lvl 70 boost for $49, but I cannot transfer my lvl 70 mage over onto the server… My main is a 70 priest on whitemane, which I play 99% of my time. Playing a different character over my priest doesn’t change the player count.

Can you please allow people with characters already on a server to transfer the rest of their characters there? Its very annoying this is still a problem.

They really need to do this.

Please allow creation of new characters on locked servers. I don’t care if you keep transfers locked but why can’t friends starting up join up with their guild on a locked server. WoTLK launch is in 10 days and people are scattered.
Our guild is on Sulfuras and we can’t get the rest of our players that haven’t played classic before there to get set up ahead of wrath??? Don’t completely ruin the WOTLK launch for everyone.

Yeah i know, people reporting it isnt for either method.
Agreed, I want to main to bring my alt to the same server as my main and I can’t do it because Whitemane is locked. Makes no sense. I already play on Whitemane on my Main,

Still no info on why paid transfers are disabled to Eranikus? Or I guess now the free transfers are broken too?
What’s most important if it can be answered is if paid transfers to Eranikus will open before WOTLK release? It’s not hard to find people with guildies stuck on servers that can’t transfer to one of the new servers for a variety of reasons, so it’d be great to let these guilds get back together again.

Throughout these past two weeks me and my friends are now split across 3 servers despite making efforts to stick together. Opening paid transfers from servers in conjunction with the free transfers from the big servers would make Eranikus appealing for everyone and a chance to get people playing with their friends again.
Please do not randomly close this server like Sulfuras was. Let us get a big community going again

You want to populate Eranikus, correct? So my RL friend decides he wants to transfer off of Grob and I’ll join him on Eranikus. But I can’t, because I can’t pay for a transfer off of Mankirk (to Eranikus), nor can I boost a new character there. Why is boosting and paid transfers to this server locked if building a population is what you’re looking for?

It’s not just about your friends, it’s also about preventing the problem again. Load balancing with the unpredictable behavior of people is a delicate act. You all move to Eranikus along with everyone else, you are going to end up in the exact same boat… long queues.
Also, launch is in a little over a week, and we don’t know what is in line for server launch. You don’t just make changes without looking at the long term…
Why wouldn’t you put this in an ingame message when transferring? I literally never read forums and now I am stuck on Sulfuras when my entire guild went to Eranikus because I transferred right before it locked.
I proceed to open a ticket and the response is essentially “we are too busy to help you at this time, good luck”

Blizz. PLEASE open up Eranikus to new players and xfers from other servers, especially before launch.
At this point our plans will be starting on a server that is open for Wrath launch (since my friends are coming to classic for the first time) and I will move my toons off of Eranikus when I can. Please communicate, this is frustrating.
I really feel like this impacts Eranikus’s long term viability if they keep these barriers and restrictions up.

When Will Erankius be opened for new character creation vs. held for transfers

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.

OI, why cant i paid transfer from grobbulas to sulfuras
This is garbage. Why even bother having fresh start realms, when you’re just repeating the exact same steps that have had negative impacts on server health?
