World of Warcraft News and Raiding Strategies

As we previously announced, free character moves will become available in this region very soon. When these free character moves open, player-characters at any level will be able to move:

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

For approximately one day, the new realms will be restricted to only those players using a free character move. After one day, any player may create new characters there. This is to allow players using the free character move service a better chance at retaining the name of the character they’re moving.

We will let you know when the new realms open and free character moves are enabled.

Thank you!

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.

Thank you!

Thanks to player reports and feedback, we’ve identified a bug affecting how XP was calculated for parties of 6 or more players.
We are rolling out a hotfix right now, to all realms, that should correct this. Going forward, XP awarded should be significantly lower for parties of 6 or more players.

Again, thank you very much for your feedback.
