In preparation for the upcoming launch of Wrath of the Lich King, we will be increasing the gold limit for paid character transfers from 10,000 to 20,000 gold. Players who wish to transfer a level-70 (or higher) character carrying up to 20,000 gold will be able to do so starting Tuesday, November 4, after weekly scheduled maintenance is completed.

Please keep in mind that all other transfer-eligibility requirements, restrictions, and policies remain the same. The new gold limit also applies to free character moves (when offered). For more information, please visit our Paid Character Transfer FAQ (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20558&categoryId=2317&parentCategoryId=&pageNumber=1 ).

UGH.... two weeks too late.

Edit: Though a very appreciated and much needed adjustment, thanks to the ease of gathering loads of gold now.

Thanks for the info, I am happy to see that number, not because I am thinking of transfer but I am reading into it that 20k gold is going to be a nice reasonable sum of money at 80 and as I am over that amount, I can take into my mind that I should be comfortable when I hit 80.

Is there any way that there could be an increase on the limit for lower level characters as well?

I know you need to keep it low to avoid exploiting or some such, but I have a low-level toon that I would like to move in order to make way for my Death Knight, and I would like to take some gold with him to his new server, to help out my other, poorer toons there. However, the limit for a toon his level (300g) is a bit low right now. :\

Sleep hard, wish well.

Why would the character level need to be raised? Unless you have a sub 10 with all the bank slots purchased, it takes like an hour to hit level 10 (when not RAF).

There are no plans for this at the moment.

OK. :( Any answer as to why?

Clearly the powers that be feel that a level 70 toon can and should carry about more money. Why not lower level toons? Things aren't just more expensive at level 80, they are more expensive across the board. Inflation effects in-game economies far worse than real ones. Haha

Maybe offer those who had to literally give away gold before a transfer in the past month the chance to get that back. I'm sure I'm not the only one and not in the mood to pay $50 just to have a mule transferred as well as my main. I had 16K+ gold and had to dump it before I could transfer. Thanks!

Wow, I just talked to a bliz billing rep and they literally lied to my face. They said it will only be for 71-80 and it's not an "official statement" yet.

See I just transfered a toon with 10k, asking, emailing, calling, and raising all kinda heck to be able to get more of my gold to the new server right? So there they go changing their mind so soon after I worked and worked on getting them to change that.


so I call them, and they tell me it's not an official announcement yet. And here we are-with an official announcement on their own boards. I'm on hold again-and holy crap I'm miffed.

GG Bliz. Wake up, keep your employees from lying to your customers.

Normal is nothing but a setting on a washer and dryer.

20k is a nice upgrade but honestly, how hard is it to use your excess gold to buy goods that you resell on the other server?

Simplest option is buy the 1200g BoE 22-slot bags - there is low but constant demand for them and you can easily offer a small discount to sell several of them at once.

If you watch the market on the target server a bit you might even spot price inequitiies on some items that you could actually make a profit on.
