Character Transfers - Ordinn on 3/16/05
We are happy to announce the next step in our continued efforts to improve the stability and performance of our realms. Players with characters on high-population realms will now have the option of transferring their characters to a low-population realm. Dispersing the population across all the available realms will reduce lag and queues and improve the overall play experience for our players. Character transfers are optional for players with characters on eligible realms. Each high-population realm selected for character transfers will have one designated realm to which characters can move. The first character transfer will be offered for the Arthas realm to the Nathrezim realm. Click here (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/faq/charactermove-list.html) to see what other realms are currently scheduled for character transfers. For more information, please read the character transfer F.A.Q. located here (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/faq/charactermove.html).
This service is being offered to a single high-population realm at first to ease any possible load created by character transfers on the live service, as well as isolate any issues that may arise. We will announce further character transfers once they are ready for release.
Once again we thank you all for adventuring with us here in Azeroth, and we look forward to seeing you in the game!
It should at the very least alleviate some of the queueing issues people have been complaining about....
I wonder how many will sign up for the first round though. Not much fun beta-testing Blizzard's character transferring system and wind up not being able to play your toons for god knows how long in case something goes wrong. If it all works out I'm hoping a nice chunk of my own server decides to switch realms at least. :|
