Bornakk announced last night that selected US PvP realms will be given free character moves starting at Noon pacific time today, July 10th, and ending on July 17th. As always, Blizzard does reserve the right to close transfers early once their quotas are met, so be sure to get your transfer request in as early as possible if you plan to move. Once the transfers are open, you can visit the character move page to request a transfer.
The realm transfers are as follows:
-
Characters from the Barthilas and Frostmourne realms may move to the Dreadmaul realm.
-
Characters from the Illidan, Mal'ganis, and Warsong realms may move to the Zuluhed realm.

Hey, no offense but STOP using the title "US PvP realms get free character moves" or titles like it that do not indicate it's select realms. Every time I see this bloody title I get all excited that I might be able to move a character off stormreaver the server I played on at launch and end up reading the article and being upset. Just adding the word "Select" to the begining of the title would let people know they can still read the article but it doesn't imply an all inclusive or encompassing move option.

Diamon, he has a valid point. That's not QQ, the article is misleading. It says "free realm transfers" and it's only for specific realms. What's QQing about that? If it said "BETA COMING OUT TOMORROW" and then went on to read "only internally for Blizzard employees and family members" then a lot of people would be pretty angry, and rumors would be flying about the new beta. Articles should be titled for people glancing down to see what they want to read. Would it be so difficult to put in the word "limited" before the title for those people who have been waiting to move little used characters but don't want to pay for the move?
Why is it when people have valid points, someone has to cry "go QQ some more"?

The difference in your analogy is that any time Blizz does free realm transfers its for select realms with population issues. So, its pretty common knowledge that the title would mean certain realms are getting free transfers. I got excited and let down too, but not because of the title... I was hoping that the realm my lowbie horde is on could transfer.
It wasn't so much QQ on the first reply as it was just ignorance that lead to his disappointment. Now he/she will know in the future.

Zuluhead is a dead realm they need to just stop it already. Not only that but the players who have yet to x-fer off there are absolutely terrible (alliance side)

I was expecting Scilla to be one of the servers that you get free transfers FROM, as there have been rumors of it closing floating around the general chat lately. I am glad it isn't though, It is my home. :-)

DOH! I was hoping to be able to move a lone toon from Tortheldrin to Nazjatar without paying the OUTRAGES $25 fee. They really need to make it cheaper to move!

If anything there will never be a free move from Torth as all of the Alliance are leaving anyway. I could see a free move to torth from other servers. But I hope not... Why should we suffer with people that screwed things up so bad on their own realm that they take a free transfer?

First Frostmourne is an oceanic server.
second Frostmourne has allready had free transfers to dreadmaul, when dreadmaul was opened up frostmourne was one of a list of 3 oceanic servers given the option to transfer there.
the problem was that Frostmourne had just opened up the badge vendor on the isle about 5 days before Dreadmaul opened up, no guilds at t4 - t5 content wanted to move because they could get t6 equivalent gear at the new vendor.
Frostmourne still experiences Daily ques at peak raiding time.
I personally would love a free xfer off of frostmourne, now that my guild is no longer around (due to the huge amount of competing guilds at the kara lvl) but to dreadmaul? no thanks I want to go where my friends are. blizz give me 3 free transfers to the server of my choice please.
