Players are abuzz with activity now that the Wrath of the Lich King pre-patch has officially come! People are scuttling about, trying out their new talents, getting gems for their gear, glyphs for their new specs, playing new Death Knight characters, and absolutely flooding the auction house with items — on several larger realms, the auction house was reduced to a snail’s pace due to the incredible amount of activity thanks to people coming back to the game to try out the new patch. That is along a myriad of other issues on those popular servers, like login queues.

Blizzard has decided to be proactive with these servers and has immediately restricted transfers, blocking people from transferring their characters to the following realms:

NA Servers
EU Servers
Benediction
Gehennas
Grobbulus
Golemagg
Faerlina
Firemaw
Mankrik
Pyrewood Village
Pagle
Venoxis
Whitemane

Furthermore, they have gone 1 step further and enabled their free character migration service. Specifically, you can transfer from the following servers, to the following servers:

From Server
To Servers
NA Servers
Benediction
Old Blanchy (PvE), Sulfuras (PvP)
Grobbulus
Old Blanchy (PvE), Sulfuras (PvP)
Faerlina
Old Blanchy (PvE), Sulfuras (PvP)
EU Servers
Firemaw
Mograine (PvP), Hydraxian Waterlords (RP)
Gehennas
Mograine (PvP), Hydraxian Waterlords (RP)
Golemagg
Mograine (PvP), Hydraxian Waterlords (RP)

Kaivax warns that these Free Character Transfers may be closed at any time without prior warning, so players who are interested in moving out of their server if they’re happy with the server’s current situation to do so ASAP.


Will you be using a free character transfer? Or did you hope to transfer your characters to one of the now-blocked server and now find yourself unable to do so? Let us know in the comments below!

Adjustments have been made to some high-population realms in this region.

To prevent further overcrowding, we are now restricting transfers to:

Benediction
Grobbulus
Faerlina
Mankrik
Pagle
Whitemane

We expect to lift this restriction when these realms are no longer experiencing extended queues.


We’ve also enabled Free Character Transfers from the most overpopulated realms in this region:

FROM

We strongly encourage players who wish to use a Free Character Transfer to do so as soon as possible. Free Character Transfers may be closed without warning.

What about a low population transfer, I am in Westfall as Horde and there are barely any Horde to run raids or consistent dungeons?

Exactly. I’m on Pyrewood Village as Horde and it’s become exclusively Alliance now. There should be either an option to transfer or some kind of restriction made to balance the population.

Or tell new people that it is alliance server or a horde server before they join.

Planned on playing with people i know. Tried to open a ticket to get a move, pretty much got ignored for 3 weeks. Terrible response after that long wait and no way to respond back to them. I cant transfer to the realm thats closed pretty disappointing. more reasons to just quit playing again.
