tbc-classic An Update on Wrath Classic Fresh Server Transfers

[Staff 1,488]

WoW Classic Game Producer Aggrend posted an update on the availability of transfers for fresh Wrath Classic servers, clarifying that the 90-day period mentioned by Community Manager Kaivax would be an absolute minimum amount of time they'd wait to open transfers, as they intend to listen to community feedback.

Blizzard announced fresh servers for Wrath Classic on Monday. The blog post included information about transfers opening after the fresh servers have been live for 90 days. Today, Aggrend reiterated that 90 days is the bare minimum amount of time they'd wait to open transfers and it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be enabled exactly 90 days after fresh servers are up.

Myself and other members of the team have been reading through a lot of the responses about Fresh Start servers since it was announced, and the common feedback we’ve seen is concern over the idea of transfers opening after the servers have been live for 90 days. I felt it was important to chime in and highlight that Kaviax’s post specifically mentions they won’t be available for at least 90 days. As in, at minimum.

The concept of opening fresh start realms in this way for Classic is somewhat new territory for us, so in this situation we believe its very important to carefully monitor the population on these new realms, observe player behavior, and listen to feedback on this topic. There is nothing saying that transfers must flip on exactly on day 91, day 191, or even day 991 and we don’t intend to commit to an arbitrary timeframe for transfers to become enabled super far ahead of time. We plan to be very thoughtful and deliberate when it comes to how and when we lift the restrictions around transfers on these realms.

So to reiterate, 90 days is the absolute minimum amount of time we’d wait to open transfers, and we intend to listen to the feedback we get on this very carefully. If the realms are healthy and we don’t feel the need to open transfers on these realms, we won’t rush to do so. The team really wants to take care with anything we do here because of how excited many players are about the idea of being able to start fresh and have that type of “equal playing field” experience in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. We are excited about it too, and we really want to take our time and ensure that the experience is as awesome as it can be.

Thanks for reading, and I hope this does a little bit to reassure some concerns about this. As always, thank you so much for the comments and feedback!
