Free Character Transfers Have Ended
October, 5 - *These free transfers have now ended and are no longer available.
We’re providing free transfers off of realms that are currently seeing high queue times. If you’re on one of the below realms and would like to avoid waiting in queues to play, you can take advantage of these free transfers. We’ve done our best to match realm types and time zones for a smooth transfer process.
The current transfers will go until approximately 9:00 a.m. PDT, October 4. Please be aware that, due to the unpredictable nature of free transfers, we may close down any transfers at any time and without warning if the destination realm becomes full. If you plan to move with friends or your guild, we suggest that you coordinate the effort to reduce the chance of any stragglers being left behind.
Although free Guild Master Realm Transfers are not possible at this time, these free character transfers will allow you to retain your guild membership and reputation, provided the guild master completes a Guild Master Realm Transfer to the destination realm first, and does not change factions.
Early closures aside, this set of Free Character Moves will end on Thursday, October 4.

We’ll be continuing to closely monitor realm concurrency, and will provide updates should the above transfers be altered, or any new transfers become available.

Make it 5!
I just came back after a very long break from WoW, and in order to play the game I would have to transfer 4 characters off dead/dying realms ($100) on top of buying at least cataclysm ($20) for a grand total of $120 dollars. You have got to be kidding me. Its not my fault that every one of my mains is on a dead or dying server...25 bucks a pop is way overpriced. There is no way I am paying $120 to play WoW when you *already* have to pay a monthly fee. That's insane!

When you open the free character transfers to one server from another. I might consider coming back.
I was actually enthusiastic about coming back too. With the new pandaria expansion. But my server Gorganash, once a very popular server, is now a ghost town. Just don't have the interest to play alone...
Please think about opening it back up, and emailing all users that this is open. (you might get a few more months of payment from me)
