Burning Crusade Classic - Free Character Transfers

We’ve opened the Free Character Transfer service to players on some realms in this region. Free Character Transfers are now available:

From - To - Faction Restriction (NA Realms)

• Faerlina - Incendius - Available to all characters
• Faerlina - Skeram - Available to all characters
• Mankrik - Westfall - Horde only
• Mankrik - Windseeker - Horde only
• Whitemane - Anathema - Horde only
• Whitemane - Thunderfury - Horde only

From - To - Faction Restriction (EU Realms)

• Gehennas - Stonespine - Horde only
• Gehennas - Ten Storms - Horde only
• Pyrewood Village - Nethergarde Keep - Alliance only
• Firemaw - Bloodfang - Horde only

Please note:

• You cannot transfer a character who
  
  • is the leader of a guild.
  • has items up for auction.
  • has in-game mail messages.
• You may have to change the character’s name after the transfer.
• You cannot transfer a character to a PvP realm where you already have a character of the opposite faction.
• The transfer of a character is a final decision once initiated, and cannot be undone. Blizzard Customer Service cannot adjust or reverse the character transfer process.

During times when servers are very busy, free character transfers can take up to several hours.

As always, we will monitor the number of characters moved and the populations on the realms above and close free transfers if necessary. We encourage players who wish to move to do so as soon as possible, as this service may be closed without notice.

We’ll update this thread with any planned changes or closures as soon as they are finalized.

Thank you!

World of Warcraft Hotfixes - June 1, 2021

Dungeons and Raids

• Castle Nathria
  
  • Sire Denathrius
    
    • Phase Two now ends when Denathrius' health reaches 37% (was 40%) or after 225 seconds (was 210 seconds) on Mythic difficulty.
      
      • Developers’ note: Our goal with this adjustment is to make Denathrius' final phase a bit more forgiving on Mythic. We considered simply reducing his health, but felt that could be needlessly disruptive during his first two phases, so we're instead opting for a more targeted approach.
        

Burning Crusade Classic

• Auction House
  
  • Fixed an issue that temporarily caused deposit fees to be 3x lower than they were in original Burning Crusade.
    
• Classes
  
  • Mage
    
    • Blizzard once again has a chance to activate Enigma's Solitude and Arcane Concentration on cast.
      
• User Interface
  
  • On PC and Mac, players can now utilize SSAO (Ambient Occlusion).

Ahh yes the good old, can you please move off these popular realms and go join these dead ones please.

[snaketheshadow]

This is so embarrassing, most of the servers are dead already. If there would be free transfers, it had to be made available on all of them so players can agree and meet up on a particular server to be able to play properly. My character is in the only RP realm and there seems to be no hope.

[Hekazi]

Kill the dead servers? Less maintenance, and you wouldn't have to charge players extra.

[Jasper Kazai]

37% is a bizarre number to set a phase transition at. Don't think there are too many bosses that transition at an odd percentage.

As someone who has killed Sire on Mythic this is a nice change. Basically they are nerfing his HP in final phase by 3% with this change. Will limit the dps requirement heavily as well as allow for a death. Phases 1/2 are fairly easy to make work but this change will let a lot of close guilds make the cut.

[Prag]

Seems so counterproductive to improving the player experience when you send them from a highly populated realm to an absolutely dead one.

[Greyvax]

You know what happens if you transfer off a high pop realm?

You end up on a completely 100% dead realm in a couple weeks. Blizzard will do nothing to fix this, ever. You'll be forced to pay the price to transfer back onto a realm with actual players.

It's weird though. People want 'new' servers with 0 population to get away from the 'boosters' yet won't go to a dead server.

Irony at its finest. Not saying you think that, but there's a lot of folks on the forums demanding new servers yet won't transfer for free to a dead server....

Turn that dead server into a sanctuary for non-boosters. Come on.

[Wekko]

I've never taken a free transfer. Not in the first run through, and I won't in the second.

People want to live in a society without societal problems. Utopias don't exist which is why it'll never happen for them.

A lot of bosses in CN have odd %.. I play with 1 decimal place precision and his phase 1 to 2 transition happens at <70.5%.
Though now when I type this I realise that's probably because of rounding on blizzards part.

Yeah it’s just there to give you an extra 3% that you don’t have to do in the final phase. Actually an eloquent solution to the barrier people are having.

Side note: it’s so funny how some things are so “we need to change it” and Things are “it wasn’t that way in the original so we had to change without a choice”; weird scapegoat they use lol

[Ealyssa]

Just like back then. Nostalgia hitting hard again

But that's a big part of their business model.

Gruul already dead, wow this shit won't live 6 months at this rate lol

Anyone expecting 15 year old content to last against people who’ve been practicing for 15 years is terribly naive.

[Sentynel]

Gruul was always a joke.

Yeah, just like in classic, right?
"MC was always a joke"
"BWL was always a joke"
"AQ was always a joke"
"Naxx was always a joke up to KT"

I am not saying I expected anything from this, just saying that BC Classic won't last half a year at this rate, it will be more dead than vanilla classic a lot sooner.

[Wekko]

Come on....have you actually raided Gruul?

Did I say those other things?

You a dummy.

People were clearing MC with 1/3 of the group not even 60.

Regardless, I just don’t think un-cleared content is going to prop up TBC Classic.
