Awww, no more 6 month restriction? I suppose this is a good decision.

Not sure I understand that...Can you pay to transfer to a newly opened realm that was opened for transfer?

Fresh new non-transfer realms used to have a 6 month no-transfer time limit on them. Blizzard is now reducing that to half it was, 3 months.

That means new players have 3 months to do everything they want in the old world before high level guilds transfer and invade the market. :)

Even though this is not directly related, any news on a new RP-PVP server?

Q u o t e:
We are reducing the time restriction on Paid Character Transfers (PCTs) to newly opened realms. As of today, players will be able to transfer characters to a new realm after the realm has been live for 90 days. This limit does not apply to PCTs to realms that are opened specifically as transfer destinations (from high-population realms, for example). With the recent changes to leveling and the addition of features such as the Recruit-A-Friend program, this will make it easier for players to try out a new realm or explore Azeroth with their family and friends.

Alright well I am happy about this but I have a couple questions. Wouldn't this cause a large gap between new players and old players in the server? Cause you just had a small group of 70-80's transfer to the server and then they have to wait for people to catch up from level 1. Even with the recruit a friend invite (which I do not get how this would work when no one other then those with toons on the server can create a new one) it will still take a long time to get from 1 to 80 and start doing good 25 man raids. Wouldn't it be better to allow high levels to transfer to the new realms get the economy going and have the server good to go for new players then allow them on? So let transfer happen but no new players and that way you balance the servers population and let new players come onto stable servers where they can get into rolling guild that can help them with instances, gear, and leveling?

was wondering why should we pay for a tranfer, put a limit on how many time you can, or lvl limit (we pay to play the game anyway ) I think we should have the right to transfer.. I know some will used it to get away with things but a lot of us are not . Example i been playing WOW for 2 years love it, but just found out that some ppl at work play it on another server i got 2 lvl 70 and a dk they are all lvl 70s and over i just can't start over but the money to transfer would be too much so whats with that... A true WOW player

/agree put a limit of 1 free transfer per char i mean we do pay to play... So if the server u provide isn't up to our standard or not to our liking we should have the right to move.. It shouldn't be our fault that the economy goes bad because of china farmers....i have wanted to transfer from pvp to pve since u made it legal to transfer back if i wanted to but 3 toons to transfer = 75 bucks to play a game i already pay to play... Seems a lil ridiculous..

so does that mean Fizzcrank ( which i belive was iopened to empty other high pop realms ) can have paid transfers from 90 when it launched or after the 25th of november like one of the blizzard posts said?
just looking for a awnser so my friend can trasfer over

thanks hoping a blizz replys

I agree. I dislike how i pay to play and yet i want to transfer off my server but cant afford to transfer all my chars off. Ararthor has only had 1 free transfer off of it and guess where they wanted to put us....on a Latin American Server. If you live near latin america thats great but im in Canada and the ag is tremndous on that server for me. Then we had all those free transfers off of high popp realms but arathor was not on the list which is slightly rediculous(probably misspelled) since on arathor i often have to wait 30 mins to 60 mins in 800 to 1000 pop lines. The other problem is that half of the people on my server are either noobs or they bought their account off of Ebay. This server is getting annoying and i want off. So i suggest opening free tranfers to all and if thats not possible give Arathor a shot. Blizz keeps reapeting the same servers with high pops but they dont change. Why does this not change? Because no1 wants off of them. Give the servers with people who want to transfer off a free transfer instead of the ones who complain about high pops but dont move when they get the chance.

woot!

Since Fizzcrank is new and currently locked, does this mean that a new character on different account can't be put there for 90 days?! Cuz someone I know just bought the game and now we can't play together...Please respond! Thanks.

Right. Could Blizzard please reply noting when transfers will open to Galakrond which was recently part of the free transfers because of high population on other servers?

I'm desperate to join my friends after having been cut off by the transfers' closing 3 days early.

I wanted to get a paid transfer to fizzcrank, My Shammy and DK are there, but my lock wasn;t elgible for a free transfer and i can't pay to move there, And it sucks cause everyone else i know got to move there and i got left out, and i play my lock the most.

That Bull Blizzard and you know it. This is in no way good for a new server and you simply show you do not care. Nor is RAF in any way good for a new server.

you completely fail at server stability. Bobby Kotick puttin the screws to you huh and Mike Morihaime jumping right in to squeeze as well huh!

I feel slighted by Blizz on the the whole Fizzcrank fiasco as well...I don't get a chance to look at the forums often, but as soon as I heard the xfers were opened I called up my 2 friends and we decided to go for it.

This was Saturday, the day the xfers to Fizz closed. Two of us got most of our toons over, but were both cutoff with 1-2 toons stuck on the old server. The last guy wasn't able to xfer since he was tied up with RL obligations and didn't make it at all.

We concurred that the situation sucked, but were fine just paying the PCT fee because the important part was that we played together. Lo and behold, found out we couldn't pay either...

My friend who couldn't make it, sent Blizz an email. We also both waited unsuccessfully on a human being to answer our questions from the customer service phone line. The email was never answered to my knowledge, at least as of a yesterday.

Now, I find out about this 180 day wait!?! Come on...open up the PCT's...you will not grossly exacerbate a realm population issue b/c you will only be getting the people who both really need, and are willing to pay, to xfer to play with friends (or guilds, family, whatever). And if you do, FCT away!! Some of us can't look at forums all the time to find the 24-hour extension granted to Fizz FCT's...

Please don't keep friends/guild members apart over some technicalities...I need an option for the guy I recruited to your game who is now stuck alone and scared. Perhaps a Refer-a-Friend program or something, or just open up PCT's, heck even special case double-charge PCT's, I don't care, I'll pay for him...

Quoting my original post cause it just makes sense...

Open Galakrond for Paid Transfer I was talking my friends on the server in vent and they said that WinterGrasp was like 10 on 10 it was stupid there are not enough high levels on there to get 25 mans going and if you are going to make people wait till someone levels a toon that high then they will leave my friends guild is already talking about leaving if the server pop doesn't go up cause there is no economy and there are not enough people for 25 mans.

I was under the impression there are no new non-transfer realms. Does this mean some will be introduced shortly?
