New Oceanic PvP realm for transfer
More migrations for Europe
It seems like there have been free character migrations for Europe constantly for the past few months. Well, this week is no different. Thundgot announced the following free moves, available from today, April 9th, to next Wednesday, April 15th, all for PvP realms (I think):- From: Frostmane, Grim Batol, Magtheridon, Twilight's Hammer
- To: Bladefist, Dragonmaw, Spinebreaker
- From: Molten Core
- To: Stonemaul
Free migrations for Europe
- From: Burning Legion, Crushridge, Kazzak, Magtheridon, Shadowmoon
- To: Auchindoun, Jaedenar
Europe joins in the free move fun
To go along with the set of free North American character transfers that started yesterday, Blizzard Europe has seen fit to open the following free character transfers:- From: Al'Akir, Crushridge, Grim Batol, Outland, Stormscale
- To: Burning Blade, Laughing Skull
Since Blizz bases their transfer decision off of their stats for what realms need it most, this should be the appropriate set of servers, but I'll ask you anyway: if you're on one of the "from" servers, are you overcrowded now? If you're on one of the "to" servers, are you glad to have some new company coming? And if you're on another server altogether, do you need some transfer loving? Sound off in the comments.
Free US transfers now open
Once again, it's time to balance the server load a bit. Free character transfers are available on select North American realms, starting a few hours ago at 12:00 PM PST and going for one week, until Tuesday, March 4 at 12:00 PM PST. Here's the server list:- Group A (PvP)
- From: Illidan, Mal'Ganis, Sargeras, Stormreaver, Tichondrius
- To: Vashj
- Group B (PvP)
- From: Arthas, Burning Blade, Mannoroth, Mug'thol, Warsong
- To: Zuluhed
- Group C (PvE)
- From: Area 52, Arygos, Ghostlands, Hellscream, Zul'jin
- To: Velen
Many free moves for North America
Earlier this evening, Drysc announced a bevy of free character transfers for the North American realms, in four groups. The transfers began today at 3:00 PM PST, and will run until Thursday, January 17 at 3:00 PM PST -- that's one week, for those who shun addition. As always, transfer ASAP if you know you want to switch servers, because they do occasionally shut down early due to desired population levels being reached. And now, the available moves:- Group A:
- From: Illidan, Sargeras, Kel'Thuzad, Mannoroth
- To: Anatheron
- Group B:
- From: Jubei'Thos, Frostmourne, Barthilas
- To: Thaurissan
- Group C:
- From: Aman'Thul, Khaz'goroth, Dath'Remar, Nagrand
- To: Caelestrasz
- Group D:
- From: Emerald Dream, Destromath, Tichondrius, Stormreaver
- To: The Underbog
Free character moves for the US
We've had some moves recently for Oceanic and European realms, but these are the first North American free character transfers I've seen in a while. As of noon PST today, and until 12:01 PM PST a week from today, December 28th, players can make the following transfers free of charge:- From: Arthas, Illidan, Mal'Ganis, Warsong
- To: Azshara
More EU migrations
Due to population differences between some of the highest and lowest populated PvP realms, the following Free Character Migration will be available November 7th to 13th:
From: Crushridge, Frostmane, Grim Batol, Kazzak, Outland
To: Boulderfist, Daggerspine, Vek'nilash
Please note that the migration may be closed at any time should a destination realm's population rise too high.
This is the same source realms as before, and one of the same destination realms (Boulderfist). It looks like not too many people chose to take advantage of this move last time. So get moving, people!
Oh, and to answer a question that was asked in another thread: Europe will be getting patch 2.3 on November 14th, a week from today (source).
Free character migration for some EU servers
Due to population differences between some of the highest and lowest populated PvP realms, the following Free Character Migration will be available from October 24th to 30th:
From: Crushridge, Frostmane, Grim Batol, Kazzak, Outland
To: Boulderfist, Jaedenar, Kor'gall
Please note that the migration may be closed at any time should a destination realm's population rise too high. (Thundgot)
Edit: Apparently the following additional EU migrations are also active until the 30th:
From: Zul'Jin
To: Uldum, Tyrande
[Thanks, Rauten]
As the post says, you should take advantage of this ASAP if you want to move, because they do occasionally close these early.
Are you on any of these servers? If you're on the "from" realms, do you agree that overpopulation is a problem, and if so, are you going to move? If you're on the "to" realms, do you think your realm needs more players?
Free character transfers for Oceanic realms
It's been a little while since we had some free character transfers, probably because of the realm population cap increase that came with the BC infrastructure upgrade. Starting tomorrow, residents of two Oceanic realms will be eligible to transfer to some less populated ones:
We will be offering free character transfers from the following Oceanic realms to other, lower populated realms to assist in alleviating population growth. These transfers will become available on Thursday, June 21 at 12:01 PM PDT, and run until Thursday, June 28 at 12:01 PM PDT. In the event that a realm meets our transfer goals before the scheduled end date, the transfers to that realm will be disabled. We highly recommend that if you are planning to transfer that you do so at your earliest convenience.
Once the transfers open you can begin your transfer by visiting the Character Move page located here: https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/character-move.html
Source Destination
Aman'Thul -> Nagrand
Jubei'thos -> Thaurissan
Are you on any of the involved realms? Will you be transferring, and if you're on Nagrand or Thaurissan, would you in fact advise others to transfer to your realms?
Revenge of the European transfer
There haven't been any free character transfers in a while, but here's one, having started today. European players can transfer from any of Crushridge, Outland, or Warsong to any of Agamagann, Dragonmaw, Spinebreaker, or Vek'nilash. This is the most choice I've seen in any character migration, which is neat. As always, you're advised to get on these ASAP, since they could close early. Here's the blue post:
Note: any free migration may be changed or closed at any time.
Please keep this thread on the topic of the below migrations. Posts concerning other migrations (requests, old migrations, PCT, etc) will not be responded to here.
To use the free migration, please follow this link:
http://www.wow-europe.com/en/support/charactermoverealms.html
FAQ: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/faq/charactermove.html
The below migrations will be activated today (Wednesday April 4th). They're scheduled to close at the start of the maintenance on Wednesday April 11th. However, again, please note that this may change at any time. (Edit: to explain; while the main purpose of the migration is to fill up some of the lower populated realms we of course don't want them filled to the point of having queues, hence the possibility of migration being closed prematurely.)
From any of these realms: Crushridge, Outland, Warsong
To any of these realms: Agamaggan, Dragonmaw, Spinebreaker, Vek'nilash
Blue Notes: BC launch vid, contest and move for Europe
A few small items of interest for you all today. First, a documentary video by Blizzard of the BC launch, in both California and Europe. Cop the vid here; it's fun to see the festivities leading up to the new sandbox we're all playing in.Second, it seems that WoW is turning two in Europe on February 11. There's a lore contest and a wallpaper contest; prizes include Alienware computers and Nvidia video cards. As usual for their European contests, many countries are ineligible, because of their laws as regards lotteries -- it's not that Blizz just hates several random countries in Western Europe, as many forum posters seem to think. Blizzard's got the full details on their page.

More transfers for North America
Transfers from some impacted North American servers to four brand-new realms began at noon PST today, and will run "until 11PM, Friday, January 19 or until such a time that the destination realms have received adequate transfers to them." From Eyonix:- In the event that a realm meets our transfer goals before the scheduled end date the transfers to that realm will be disabled. We highly recommend that if you are planning to transfer that you do so at your earliest convenience.

I do have a character on Doomhammer, so I might transfer just for the hell of it. New servers are fun.
However, one sour note for the transfer bonanza: Cloudbeard of the guild Tide writes that a lot of people, including most of his guild, are stuck in the free transfer queue, and Blizz hasn't said much beyond that they're "working on a resolution." So maybe look out; but on the other hand, Eyonix urges you to transfer ASAP.
