Q u o t e:
Is that a first? You know faction only transfers.

Yes. I edited the original post to make it a bit clearer. It is meant to show that only Magtheridon Horde can use these two FCMs.

Magtheridon (Horde only) => Zenedar, Haomarush

Re: 26/11 Free Character Migration

Q u o t e:
What I would like to know is:

1) Free transfers for some servers have been open for 1 month+. Why does Blizzard expect a new round of free transfers to reduce populations? Even if it is to other servers then surely everyone who wanted to leave would have done so by now? It's like trying to offer steak instead of meatballs to a vegetarian.

2) If I can create a character on a full realm then why can't I transfer to it? What is the difference?

1. Regardless of what we or you think, people are migrating each time we open free migration. Whether it significantly reduces the population at peak hours is another matter. If you have a reason why free migration should not be opened, thus not giving players to opportunity to move to another realm, we will take it into consideration.

2. Fewer players will start playing on the realm if they can only do so starting at level 1, not migrate their current characters. Thus only having character creation open gives less new players on the realms than also opening migration to the realm, which is preferred for realms with such high population.

Edit: however, please take any questions about character creation, PCT and migrations between other realms than those in the first post to other threads from now on. Keep this one on topic. Thanks.

Re: 26/11 Free Character Migration

Q u o t e:
Let's say there are 150 servers for WoW. and there are 1.5m new players.

There are more than 200 realms only in Europe, and not all new players are European.

If you wish to play with numbers to make an argument, please do more extensive research first. ;-)
