In the next couple of weeks, we intend to enable free character transfers for many Burning Crusade Classic realms. We’re planning to offer free transfers from all of the lowest-population BCC realms to any high-population realm of the same ruleset and region.

We will update this post to let you know all the details when we have the free character transfers underway.

Thank you!

With weekly maintenance in each region, we’re applying some hotfixes to raid encounters as a step toward their final tuning.

Serpentshrine Caverns

• Morogrim Tidewalker – Tidewalker Lurkers’ health has been reduced to their post-nerf values.
• Lady Vashj – Persuasion no longer provides crowd control immunity.

Tempest Keep

• Kael’thas Sunstrider – The encounter is now set to its post-nerf configuration.

Again, these adjustments will be live following maintenance tomorrow, November 9.

Upon further review, we’ve decided to give this at least a week and discuss it some more. We will not be implementing the changes above with maintenance.

We’ll continue to look for your feedback here and update you with our revised plan, if any, in the next couple of days.
