Does the newly launched Paid Transfer service for WoW Classic allow moving characters between accounts owned by the same person (as it does for BfA)?
The news announcement and forum post in the WoW Classic General Discussion are not specific on this.
It’s actually covered in the Support article that they linked in the announcement and unfortunately, the answer is no.
Note : WoW Classic Characters cannot be transferred between accounts.
Any blues able to let us know if transfers between accounts be available for WoW classic at some point in the future?
Would like to consolidate alts to a single account.
No, I’m afraid not, Kiingy. For now, transfers are only from qualifying Realm to Realm. If that changes I’m sure the Support Article will be updated to reflect it but Customer Support wouldn’t know if/when our Developers would decide that until it actually happens.
Ah, well that’s disappointing.
Thanks for letting us know.
ya i know i really want to move my alt to my other account come on blizz i want to give you my money
Unfortunately that’s just not an option right now. If you feel that they should add it, you’ll want to post in the Classic General Forums so that your feedback is seen by the right people.
I just want to clerify this… This is not the ability to transfer a retail character to classic now is it?
Account transfers need to happen.
That isn’t something that Customer Support has any influence over. If you wish to see that kind of feature I’d recommend posting in the General Discussion forum with your feedback.
If you think it should be added the instructions for doing so have been posted.
No, and I don’t think that would ever be an option, but if you wish to be able to do so you would want to post over in General.
No. It is a paid service for the Classic realms.
Classic PvP to Classic PvP or Classic PvE
Classic PvE to Classic PvE
plus the Classic RP realms with the same restrictions.
Also, PvP realms are faction-locked. If you have an Alliance toon on a PvP server, you can’t transfer a Horde character to that server, and vice versa.
I was told by a Customer Support Rep that my old WoW account which was inactive for quite some time was not recoverable. I’ve since found out that it was recoverable and I have it back…only issue was, in the mean time I started a different classic account. Those two accounts are now linked on my BNet.
Where it gets annoying is now that if I want to play both I now need 2 subscriptions. If the person who I contacted the first time was able to find my account I would have 1 account (instead of 2), 1 subscription and the flexibility to play Retain (Modern) and Classic all at once.
Can you please make linked BNet account transfers possible!!! This will let me actually play both games?
Classic General Discussion might be the best choice.
