The following are the transfer restrictions for Classic:
- Each transfer has a ninety-day cooldown.
Gold transfer limits specific level ranges are as follows: - Level 1-30 can transfer with up to 100 gold
- Level 31-50 can transfer with up to 500 gold
- Level 51-60 can transfer with up to 2000 gold
- Characters cannot transfer from PvE realms to PvP Realms and RP realms cannot transfer to RP-PvP realms.
- Characters cannot transfer to PvP realms and RP-PvP realms that have a character of the opposite faction already established.
- Characters can only transfer between realms and accounts in the same region. (EU, US, Asia)
- Certain realms are not eligible transfer destinations.
- Characters cannot transfer to a realm where your character list is full.
- If your character’s name is taken on the destination server, you can change its name after the transfer.
- Active auctions or mail will prevent a transfer.
- Raid lockouts transfer with your character.
- Your PvP rank will transfer with your character but any kills you earned on your source realm between the weekly reset and the time your transfer comes into effect, and any honor from those kills, will NOT transfer with you.
Server Balance is an on-going issue. To correct this issue I recommend the following restrictions:
- Characters can only transfer to medium population realms or high population realms of their chosen faction when, faction population is 40-60% of the realm population.
- Characters cannot transfer off realms of their chosen faction when, faction population is 30% or less of the realm population.
- Free transfers are available to characters on high population realms or full population realms of their chosen faction when, faction population is 75% or greater of the realm population.
I encourage other players to post recommendations and feed back. Thank you for your time.
