Until I logged in to my character and saw empty orgrimmar. Only 5% server population is on horde side.
Migrating my 4 85lvl's would cost 80euros..
Is there any way to get my gold to another server?
Does cross realm heirloom sending yet still exists?
with my gold I could start from begining on another realm
Comments
mm yeah, but 55 euros for starting WoW, next month 70euros after paying sub next month..Maybe I will stick with GW 2
Ofc its not MUST to transfer, but all friends and guild is gone
The game has way too many dead servers that they refuse to merge. I think they love the income from character xfers.
Just put all your gold and heirlooms on your main and xfer them.
Find a busy server and start a new project its what I do alot of the time. I refuse to pay the xfer costs.
Unless your in the top 0.5% of raiding guilds there is no point in paying anyway.
Trollbane has been completely dead since I last played, maybe 2 years ago. There was maybe a handful of ally people online on average - the horde side was no better afaik. How do I know this? Well I still kept contact with many players in the guild even though I stopped playing, I also read the forums a lot. And nothing, nothing every happens. Its a damn shame blizzard refuse to do anything about dead servers like that, they are indirectly forcing you to either start over on a different server, which is bullshit for most players, seeing as they can have up to 10 level 85-90 on their now dead server, or spend a LOT of real money to transfer them.
At least they could offer to move all your characters for that outrageous fee they claim for one character transfer.
It boogles the mind why they refuse to do anything, its not like this is something that happened recently, its been YEARS. Yes MOPdid make a few come back, but the server is still in piss poor shape, and it only gets worse every month. And there are many servers like this, its crazy unfair, and I wish more people would pay attention and pressure blizzard into taking action. Its just unacceptable and disgraceful, but people dont care as long as they are not the ones left alone.
You make me like charity
I would rather wait till free realm merge offers get people to your realm or to move to next one, then pay.
I find it way too much, better to start new char for fun or not even pay sub until they fix it (like I do now by checking realm with new starter account, free to use).
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2
You could always just delete a fail game and find something ACTUALLY good. For instance, AoC, or pretty much anything not made by Blizz or EA.
Lol, cheers, i needed a laugh to day.
OP, there is also the option of just starting new chars of course on another server. Money wise the run from 85-90 when you get to it will build a fair amount of cash and when you hit 90, with not a huge effort if you know the mechanincs of the AH already, a couple to several thousand gold a day is easily achievable.
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.
even transfering 1 character is more expensive than a month subscription. I just forgot about my lvl 85s and all my gold in my old inbalanced server. Started from scratch in a different (and population balanced) server and making money is hell fast. I refuse to transfer my 2 lvl 85s to the new server unless Blizzard makes a special offer. The good thing is that in my new server i still can share the mounts, pets, and titles from my high lvls on other servers.
I recently came back to wow...I Played cata but not very much...I basically lvld my main to 85..ran a few dungeons/bgs and quit till a week ago. Since coming back I have noticed my server Bonechewer is way way more empty then before...it's not dead just noticably emptier. I was thinking of xferinng...however Im not sure I see the point...LFR/LFD...BG ques...Arenas...and even scenario I assume..hell even the pve challenge arena in org...it's all cross-realm...what does it matter if your server is empty these days?
strange, whenever I reactivated WOW, eve for 1 month, Stormwind & Orgy were always crowded.....at all times.
Of course they just stood there AFK showboating their armor and waiting for dungeons/raids to pop up, but still: they were there.....whatever server I visited.
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
The obscene transfer costs was why i quit, too.
My server wasn't just dead, but decomposed to the bones. The H:A ratio felt like 99,7 to 0,3. I leveled several chars to 80 that time, without ever running into someone from the opposite faction. When i visited Stormwind with my horde-rogue, there wasn't anyone around. When they introduced their lame minigame with the towers in the plaguelands, the horde had all the towers right from the server start on patch day and forever after, there was never a fight about them.
Among the horde there was even an agreement to not gank alliance players, but leave them be. Seldom times we've had them in Org, fighting NPCs in the drag...the horde didn't attack them but let them had at least some fun playing. On the realmforums the players ancouraged and invited alliance guilds to join our server, offering startup-help etc.
If Blizzard would have offered a decent price for a whole-account transfer, i would have done that. But no way i'm transfering every single 80 plus the twinks i've had for storage purpose.
I also haven't bought the 2 following addons and dragged my money on to other companies.
I had a few toons on a popular server. A year later I made a Paladen on the same. Found the server was compleatly dead and no one to paly with. All my gold and toons were worthless......That was the beginning of the end for me.
This server should have murged.....ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE A MONEY MAKING TRICK TO TRANSFER. This alone makes Blizzard no good.
As part of my BA I am conducting research on gaming language, especially how it is used in MMORPGs such as WoW. If you like, you could help me with my research by filling out this quick survey:

It is completely anonymous and will only take you about 3 minutes to fill out. Your participation would greatly contribute to my research!
If you participate, please be as truthful in your answering of the questions as possible.
Thank you very much to those that are interested, I am very grateful to all of you

why waste money on the waste that is WoW with so many better games that are free to play. i did the wow thing, up thru BC then bailed i saw the writing on the wall. F2P is the way to go, paying a sub is goin the way of the Dodo bird and anyone that thinks otherwise is in serious denial. And as far of proof , check out any of the independant "sub" numbers out there. AoC, STO, and numberous other "western" mmo's are all actually on the rise as WoW continues to hemmorage players.
