| |
Weve noticed some threads asking about the paid character-transfer info currently circulating on the Web. This feature has been in development for some time now, and while we arent ready to launch the service as yet, were planning on releasing details on it in the near future.
Once the details go live, well be able to answer any questions you have about the service. Until then, please post your questions in this thread so we can better gather your feedback.
Thanks!

Q u o t e:
my 2cd favorite part of this is, when blue starts a topic telling you to ask questions... and then never answers any of them.
My original post stated that we'll be able to answer questions once we announce the details. We're just collecting feedback now.
Here is the relevant snippet:

Q u o t e:
Can we get an ETA on when character transfers are?
We're currently testing the functionality internally. I can't give you an official release date, that wouldn't be Blizzard-like, but I can tell you that we are pretty close.
Q u o t e:
nutbar! still got first page though!
Also Ordinn... some of us who transfered recently (I transferred to Thrall from Hellscream) ... are we gonna be able to transfer back to our original servers??
You will be able to transfer to any realm as long as the original realm is eligible. Any transfers we've done previously do not influence the paid character transfer.
Q u o t e:
They said they were going to release new info in the near future 2 weeks ago. So apparently the new info is that they will have new info soon. Awesome. Thanks for nothing.
Look at my OP.
Q u o t e:
I think the gold transfers are too high for servers with only 90 days of life. A bunch of level 60's with 5000g coming onto a realm that is say 3 months old could have a big impact.
Also, any plans on limiting transfers to rp servers?
just a thought
The gold limits took into consideration players who manage gold for their guilds.
Q u o t e:
Ok Ordinn, here are some questions:
1. Will PvE be able to transfer to and from RP?
2. What is the anticipated cost (aproximately)?
3. How long will we have to wait (if at all) for the transfer to occur? (Do we choose where to transfer to, pay and wait 24/48/72 hours or is it more or less instantaneous?)
4. Will there be a cooldown of sorts for moving multiple characters? (For example, I have 2 characters I'd like to move. Do I have to move one and then wait a few days or can I do them both at once?)
5. Will we be able to transfer a character (or multiple) between accounts?
6. Will the characters bank transfer, or will we have to empty/lose it?
7. Does PvP rank carry over?
8. How do you keep your beard so glossy?
9. Any chance of an ETA? Please? :)
Good call stickying this, btw. It was getting a bit frustrating to see these threads going unanswered.
Thanks for putting all that to rest! :)
1. Yes, as long as it follows the PvE / PvP rule.
2. $25 USD per move
3. Five days or less
4. You can transfer multiple characters at the same time, but you can't transfer one character until it's cool down has expired. So you can move two characters to a different realm, but after you move them you have to wait until the cool down expires before you can move either of those characters again.
5. Yes.
6. Yes. Bank and inventory items will get transferred.
7. Yes, it will be integrated into the new realm. We (the comm. team) will try to get more info on this for you in the next few days.
8. Egg yolks
9. Nope.
Thanks for all the feedback and questions. We'll continue to comb through this thread and answer questions in the days ahead.

Q u o t e:
Actually, I went back and looked at the press release and while yes it does say not to release the information until today, it doesn't say the exact date of the beginning of character transfers, and that is what I was referring to, not the date of the press release.
I'd like to know when just as much as everyone else, but all of us now know more about this than we did two days ago. Yes, it sucks not knowing when we can get to the servers we'd like to go to, but they're not going to immediately start telling us everything we want to know unless they're ready. *shrug*
True, that.
