You know what's hurting this game? The $25 transfer fee

[Lothrik]

I agree, it's excessive and fairly obvious it's only there to milk as much cash as possible from subscribers. It will never change, either.

Discussions like this are rather pointless, it's like asking why pharmaceutical companies charge such exorbitant amounts of money for cheap to manufacture drugs. They spent a few million on research and development 30-40 years ago and feel they deserve quarterly profits in the billions until the end of time for doing so.

They should make it free and just have a cooldown where u cant transfer again for 30 days.

That would cause chaos actually.

All we can sadly hope for is being able to migrate a pack of characters for a cheaper price. And it will propably never happen unless people ragequit this game over migrating.

Because CRZ will allow me to join a guild.... you know the reason people transfer in the first place. Do you even play this game, or do you sit in Org all day talking in trade? I bet you are one of those because your post makes no damn sense.

Geez sorry, I didn't know that's what you wanted to transfer for. I've never transferred servers, when I wanted to have a toon on a different one I just made a new toon. Excuse me, go get yourself some prozac and chill...

And you're a Libertarian, why don't you just save your money and take some personal responsibility instead of blaming Blizzard for all your problems and crying to the rest of us about them? Crying about Blizzard wanting too much money...hmm...sounds like Trade Chat to me...go and play the game, aka roll a new toon on a new server, join your new guild. That's playing. Crying about Blizzard is /2.

They've made several hundred million in char transfers no doubht. Really don't see this happening.

I wouldn't play WoW if it didn't have a fee. I cba having all those Chinese people destroying my game etc. No racist.

I will just state again that are plenty of other ways to exploit dead servers to. Dont need to migrate for this to work. So dont fear that that would happen.

AH bots, buying/selling on neutral AH, snip-bots on neutral AH...and whatnot else we've heard about for years.

I would love if Blizzard would close down servers atleast, its pathetic how they have so many realms that barely has any players on them.

The $25 transfer fee isn't hurting the game, it is hurting OP's experience.

Unfortunately for Blizzard they see their revenue more than your experience.

You know I found that funny too. With a name like libertarian he should never complain about it. A true libertarian would believe in let the market dictate what the price would be, and it is the individual's responsibility to find a way to pay he 25. Perhaps MMO Champ will offer a free name change to socialist
