SinceWorld of Warcraft Classiclaunched back in August, there were numerous features players were asking for.Some of those “missing” features were actually just old design flaws that were later streamlined throughout its 15-year life-cycle. However, there were some that really could have been added, even if it meant harming the sanctity of the product. This is where theWorld of Warcraft Classiccharacter transfer comes in. Now available, you may now transfer your characters to a different realm, and this guide will show you how.
How to bring yourWorld of Warcraft Classiccharacter to a different realm
TheWorld of Warcraft Classiccharacter transferprocess is pretty simple. All you have to do is visit the Shop found on the character select screen. From there, there should be a choice for a paid character transfer. Yes, you will have to pay for a character transfer with real money. Specifically, you will need $25 if you are in the US. There are a few limitations that Blizzard details, which are listed below:
Probably the most notable limitation here is how much gold you can carry over with you to another realm when you transfer. Blizzard also details specifically what those limitations are:
TheWorld of Warcraft Classiccharacter transfer service may take up to 24 hours to complete. If you do attempt to log in before it is complete, your character may lock until it is fully transferred. So, make sure you have something else to play for at least a day.
Can you transfer aWorld of Warcraft Classiccharacter between accounts?
No, you cannot transfer a character from one Blizzard account to another. This may be frustrating, but as someone who has gotten their account stolen a couple of times, I understand why you can’t just transfer characters from one account to another.
As such, you will only be able to transfer a character to different realms. This may have been more useful whenWorld of Warcraft Classic initially launched back in August, considering the number of realms were being filled. But, better late than never I suppose.
My take onWoW Classiccharacter transfers
It makes sense why character transfers are being implemented intoWorld of Warcraft Classic. As someone who played during that launch period, trying to get a whole guild of friends to join the same server was a mess. Blizzard was not necessarily at fault, but I’m not quite sure if their projections on how many people would actually be interested were off. Now that some time has passed, giving players the option to change realms is a solid addition.
