wow Blizzard Offering Free Character Moves for Some Realms

[Staff 1,378]

Due to consistent, extended queue times, Blizzard enabled free character moves for players who have characters on high population realms.

If the service is available on your realm, you can access it in the Services section of the Shop on your char selection screen for that realm. You won't be able to select a destination realm that also has a high population.

With the launch of Shadowlands, great numbers of players have left Azeroth for the afterlife, dramatically increasing player populations on every realm. For a small number of realms, demand has been overwhelming, and we’ve been working around the clock to address issues on those realms and make the game available to the maximum number of players.

Today, we’ve enabled the Free Character Transfer service for players who have characters on high population realms that are experiencing consistent, extended queues. If this service is available on your realm, you’ll access it in the Services section of the Shop on your character selection screen for that realm.

Please note:

• You cannot select a destination realm that also has a high population.
• Realm to realm character transfers take time to complete, and the duration is higher when more players are using the service.
• You cannot log in to your character until the migration has completed.
• You cannot cancel a migration in progress.
• Blizzard Customer Support cannot cancel a migration or speed up the migration process.
• Character migrations are irreversible.
• The free service may be disabled at any time, as necessary.

We strongly suggest that any players planning to use a Free Character Transfer do so as soon as possible.

Thank you very much!

I wonder how they decide which Realms are eligible. Playing on EU-Blackrock and Serverstatus says "full" yet i cannot transfer to another realm. Werid.

You can only transfer is there are consistently high queues on your realm.

Your realm and Ravencrest for example, are both full but have no queues, so no reason to transfer, in fact they are the best place to be right now I'd say ?

Ah. Thanks for the explanation. Ye, you're right. I haven't had any issues logging in whatsoever, besides wednesday evening for like 10 minutes.
