tbc-classic Free Character Transfers for Some US and EU Realms

[Staff 1,488]

Blizzard have just announced free character transfers for a number of US and EU realms (with some faction limitations) ahead of the Burning Crusade Classic launch:

Free Transfers (Source 1, 2)

EU:

We’ve opened the Free Character Transfer service to players on some realms in this region. Free Character Transfers are now available:

From	To	Faction Restriction
Gehennas	Stonespine	Horde only
Gehennas	Ten Storms	Horde only
Pyrewood Village	Nethergarde Keep	Alliance only
Firemaw	Bloodfang	Horde only

Please note:

• You cannot transfer a character who:
  • is the leader of a guild.
  • has items up for auction.
  • has in-game mail messages.
• You may have to change the character’s name after the transfer.
• You cannot transfer a character to a PvP realm where you already have a character of the opposite faction.
• The transfer of a character is a final decision once initiated, and cannot be undone. Blizzard Customer Service cannot adjust or reverse the character transfer process.

During times when servers are very busy, free character transfers can take up to several hours.

As always, we will monitor the number of characters moved and the populations on the realms above and close free transfers if necessary. We encourage players who wish to move to do so as soon as possible, as this service may be closed without notice.

We’ll update this thread with any planned changes or closures as soon as they are finalized.

Thank you!
