Yeah I tried to transfer from OCE to US West and East, to same realm type (PVP). This I tried with a level 60 character with no mail in the mailbox, and no active auctions.
I also tried to transfer to another OCE realm. All the time I get the same error “An error was encountered. Please come back later”
I tried creating a US character, and transferring between US realms. Same error there. Has anyone actually successfully transferred between Classic Era realms since pre-patch?
I have a guild ready to invite me on Whitemane. They have been raiding since pre-patch. They have 120 active level 60 characters. I currently can’t play Classic Era because OCE is completely dead.
Edit: Logging a GM ticket to see what’s up. The transfers may still be locked. I suspect they are working on merging more realms. If they enable to pay transfers now, and then in a week they merge OCE and US, then the people who paid will be upset for wasting money.
Trying to transfer from OCE servers results in an error message.
Blizzard, please fix.
Raise a ticket. I raised one a day ago. Still waiting for a response. They seem to be a bit behind on tickets. Hopefully they fix it once they look into my ticket!
This is still broken =/ Can’t raid til this is fixed, because there aren’t enough players on OCE to form a raid! Will likely just cancel sub til this is addressed.
When are you going to open PVE>PVP transfers, people want it
They replied to my ticket and said to wait and see if server maintenance fixes it
I guess we shall see…
What do you not enough people to raid? There’s plenty, just find people to raid with on Arugal whether that’s a guild or a pug. There’s discords that host the pugs, don’t LFG it because 95% of them are in discord.
After almost two weeks, I have an adequate response.
TLDR; Specialist GM responded that there is an issue at Blizzard end. They said there is no ETA and to wait for developers to apply a fix. They suggest to keep trying as a way to check if the devs has fixed it.
After multiple back and forth with multiple GM’s, troubleshooting mainly client side (clear cache, reinstall game, restart router etc.), I insisted this is server side. I asked that my issue be looked at by a tech. I wasn’t very successful there. However after multiple back and forth messages, I suggested they do the realm transfer on my behalf, and I added enough money to my bnet for two transfers. They obliged and went ahead with the transfers. At which point they encountered the same error. And now the devs were made aware of the issue.
Not sure with what urgency they will act on this, as Oceania Classic Era seems completely dead.
For those reading this, Herod PVP US East are raiding Naxx. They have a ton of active members. They are also doing AQ40, MC and BWL. So if you are looking for a home, go there. This is US Horde. Guild is called Classic Forever. I will join them as soon as I can transfer my toons. For now I rolled a new toon since I am unable to transfer.
For Alliance, there is a US West PVP realm called Whitemane. They have a guild called Legends. They are also raiding Naxx. They have multiple world or realm firsts I believe.
My ticket number is US79575575
Perhaps if we can get more tickets logged, the devs might prioritise this issue.
