I can create as many new characters on Sulfurus as I want.
I cannot BUY a server transfer for my existing rogue to move over him over to Sulfurus due to Blizzard’s imposed restriction.
It is so unbelievably stupid that I am able to, and forced to, level another rogue from 1-80 on Sulfurus to play with my friends.
I know there are hundreds of threads about this already, but please let’s continue to create more and bump them until we finally get a response.
Can a single person at Blizzard explain this rationale? Do the right people at Blizz even know about this state of character creation (allowed) vs. paid transferring (not allowed)? My guess is no to both.
This absolutely embarrassing display of Blizzard’s incompetence has been going on far too long.

I actually feel sorry for Blizzard that their forums are polluted with your horrible opinions. You are the reason why Classic does not receive thoughtful attention and smart decisions to benefit the players.
This rationale HAS ALREADY been explained, just not in a super public spot. If you look through the customer support forums you’ll find your rationale. Blizzard HAS already addressed this. GM Aggrend already stated on the customer support forums that the system is not set up to be able to tell if someone already has existing characters on a server. This means if a server is locked, the server is locked for everyone as the system does not recognize if someone has pre-existing characters on a server. He has said it’s something they might look into in the future but as it is RIGHT NOW, the system is just not set up to allow people to transfer to servers they have pre-existing characters because the system is not set up to tell if pre-existing characters exist. It just sees a big ‘CLOSED’ sign, and stops everyone, pre-existing characters or not.
And once they do unlock them, and Ulduar comes out with tons of players returning, you will be screaming how Blizzard is incompetent for not (somehow) keeping people off your server.
I doubt they will. Nor would they have to, really. But refer above for info.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against it or anything. But you’re shooting yourself in the foot here imho.
Long time player from launch to end of panda. Had to quit due to adulting. Old crew plays and I finally have time that I can play. I understand queues are not the answer but isn’t there a system to allow cross realm grouping? Cross realm PVP or PVE content, either one would be enough for myself. Isn’t that a thing? should be…
I get some of the answers people suggested might be what kills the feel of this era of the game. I 100% agree and if its just impossible to accomplish this for people like myself then come Classic Cata launch I guess I have to create one on every realm just to cover my bases.
