World of Warcraft Classic was launched just a few days back on 26 August 2019. Since then, it has been a beloved game for many streamers and a popular gaming choice for gaming fans. It is also the most-watched gaming on Twitch in the past few weeks leaving behind the likes of Fortnite, or CS: GO, League of Legends, and other streamed games. And now, in face of the overwhelming popularity of World of Warcraft: Classic, the developers at Blizzard has announced that free ‘WoW Classic’ character transfers will soon become available for select Classic realms.
Community Manager Kaivaxannounced on the official forums and wrote the following:
“We are working to open our Free Character Move service for select WoW Classic realms in the coming days.
When free character moves become available from one of the most highly-populated realms, players will see the option to initialize a free character move on either the character select screen or the queue screen of the realm.
To best prepare, please note that a character cannot move if the character:
- is a guild leader.
- has active auction listings or bids.
- has mail.
We will post full details about the realms available and character restrictions when we open the service.”
Furthermore, Blizzard has already listed some of the realms that can be transferred from in the US and the EU realms are likely to be detailed soon as well:
| FROM | TO |
| Arugal | Felstriker |
| Faerlina | Heartseeker (new realm) |
| Stalagg | Heartseeker (new realm) |
| Herod | Earthfury (new realm) |
| Skeram | Earthfury (new realm) |
| Incendius | Netherwind |
| Thalnos | Netherwind |
| Fairbanks | Arcanite Reaper (new realm) |
| Whitemane | Arcanite Reaper (new realm) |
| Bigglesworth | Anathema |
| Pagle | Windseeker |
| Grobbulus | Deviate Delight |
It seems like, despite WoW: Classic’s popularity, Blizzard underestimated the number of players that would want to join in and as a result there have been new realms created to meet the demand of players.
