Updated November 22

Free Character Transfers are now available from Jin’do to Thekal.

Updated 7 October

To prevent further overcrowding, the following additional realms have been locked for transfers:

Earthshaker
Everlook
Flamegor
Mograine

New character creation is still available on these realms.

Updated 29 September

At about 04:00 CEST today, we intend to disable the Thekal to Jin’do Free Character Transfer path. It will not be possible to initiate a transfer from Thekal to Jin’do after that time.

While we intend to keep these Free Character Transfers open through the next two days and until the launch of Northrend content, we strongly encourage players who wish to use a Free Character Transfer to do so as soon as possible. Free Character Transfers may be closed without warning as we continue to evaluate the populations of realms.

Updated 19 September

Free Transfers to Mograine and Ashbringer are temporarily closed while we address a bug with those specific routes.

Updated 16 September

In response to overwhelming feedback from players, Free Character Transfers are now available from Thekal to Jin’do. We will monitor this transfer connection very closely, and it may be closed without notice.

Free Character Transfers are no longer available from Mograine to Transcendence, Patchwerk, Amnennar, or Flamegor.

Updated 15 September

Free Character Transfers to Mograine are now available for Alliance characters only, and Free Transfers to Ashbringer are available for Horde characters only. The table below has been updated to reflect all currently-available Free Character Transfers.

Updated 13 September

To reduce further overcrowding, we’ve temporarily disabled new character creation on the Fresh Start realm Thekal. New or returning players who wish to try out a Fresh Start on a PvP realm may select the Jin’do realm when it opens (soon), or the Giantstalker realm if they’d like a bit less PvP.

Updated 17:15 CEST – 8 September

We will close all free transfers from Firemaw at 21:00 CEST today (8 September). Firemaw has been approaching our target for maximum population.

Adjustments have been made to some high-population realms in this region.

To prevent further overcrowding, we are now restricting transfers to:

Gehennas
Golemagg
Firemaw
Pyrewood Village
Venoxis

We expect to lift this restriction when these realms are no longer experiencing extended queues.

We strongly encourage players who wish to use a Free Character Transfer to do so as soon as possible. Free Character Transfers may be closed at any time without warning.
