The most popular servers in World of Warcraft are suffering under the influx of fans for Warlords of Draenor. Now Blizzard is opening the emergency valve and offering free server transfers.
On the most popular servers, Warlords of Draenor is causing significant issues. Server outages, eternally long queues, unstable zones (especially Frostfire Ridge), frustrated players. The player distribution is indeed highly uneven among the World of Warcraft servers and a disproportionately high share of players is on the large servers: The 25 smallest servers fit into Blackhand, the largest.
Time to move away from Blackrock, Blackhand, or Thrall?
Therefore, Blizzard has opened the emergency valve for such occasions and is offering free server transfers for players to the following realms:
Blackmoore
(PvP) -> Nazjatar, Nefarian
Antonidas
(PvE) -> Arygos, Netherstorm
Blackhand
(PvE) -> Arygos, Netherstorm
Thrall
(PvE) -> Arygos, Netherstorm
Aegwynn
(PvP) -> Nazjatar, Nefarian
Eredar
(PvP) -> Arthas, Nazjatar
Blackrock
(PvP) -> Arthas, Nazjatar
The server transfers (or character migrations or character transfers) now apply to both factions and not just the “dominant” one as before.
