World Of Warcraft Classic To Open Three More Realms, Offers Free Character Transfers

Even before World of Warcraft Classic launched last week, Blizzard Entertainment had repeatedly urged players to move from extremely overpopulated servers to one of the lesser-populated ones to keep the queue times down to a tolerable level. Almost everyone stubbornly stayed where they were anyway resulting in hour-long wait times just to log in.

Blizzard Entertainment is once again asking players to move to less-populated servers and this time they’re offering free character transfers and a one-day head start on one of the new realms to sweeten the deal.

“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.”

The catch? Blizzard gets to say where they’ll be relocating should they choose to take advantage of the free character transfer. This will prevent players from moving to another overpopulated server just because their buddies are there. Here’s the server list:

Blizzard has yet to reveal a date for the transfers. We’ll let you know as soon as we get wind of a specific date. You can also head over to the World of Warcraft Classic forums for more info.
