Free PvP server transfers

Feb 4th 2009 at 11:30AM
These moves are currently open and will go until Tuesday, February 10th at 8:00 p.m. PST or until they've reached their internal quota, whichever comes first. You can initate the character transfers by going to your account management page on worldofwarcraft.com.
Please be sure to move early if you want to. With the high latency and login queues on the realms we've seen many of these free transfer offers shut down early lately. Take advantage of this soon and be sure to bring over all your characters.
The full list of servers is after the break.

Best picture ever.
On topic - Looks like my server is on there. Hopefully the queues will go down slightly as people transfer off.

Yay Oregon Trail!
Speedmonkay Feb 4th 2009 11:46AM
Yeah I havent seen Oregon Trail in like 15+ years.
What a classic ...

"The game where you eat squirrels, beat off Indians and die of Dysentery."
Guy at my local G.Stop gave that gem. Stopped the whole store for about 5 minutes.

Or my wife gets Cholera.

Hahaha, Scilla

I know, we went from low pop to max (queued) pop in the last transfer. That's a fail imo.

I really liked my little backwoods server. The Dalaran lag, world lag and queue times were something that I thought I had left behind me on Sargeras.
Hopefully a couple people will take the option to leave. Odd that we went from 100+ to 12th on wowprogress.com

I started on Scilla the day it was opened. But left last year because it was always so dead with such a low population. Ended up on Cho'gall... where I had to leave because of the queues and the lag. And found my way back to Scilla thanks to the free transfers.

Nice, PR. I started on Ysondre and xferred to Scilla, which even at low pop was bigger than Ysondre. Now Scilla is just blown up with the incoming transfers. I don't know why they couldn't stop us some where between mid and high pop. Oh well, whatever.

I'm one of the new transfers over to Scilla. I transferred over from Stormscale the second I could. In the last week it went from being a lagless dream to lagging even worse in some areas.
Simply amazing.

DYSENTERY!? Noooooooooo!!
Grimshod Feb 4th 2009 11:48AM
Buff wagon wheels! After all this time, wagons are still broken. When will the devs listen? Nobody is going to want to bring one to the Fort Sumter instance in 3.1. Nooo, you're going to see 25 settlers bringing nothing but oxen and bullets.

Someday maybe they'll let us go from Lightning's Blade to a nice, quiet PvE server. Give people a chance to escape from the asshattery that world PvP has become, and I think you'll see a lot of population shift.

The day they do some PVP to PVE free transfer is the day I'm transferring.

WOOOO! Darrowmere Alliance!
/cry
Darrowmere has no lag, no queues, no groups....
Lots of melee dps though for some reason *cough* deathknights *cough*

Thank you RO55, I play on Balnazzar and had always thought that horde out numbered us allied people. Will be nice to get more people on our server.

Keep in mind warcraftrealms is nowhere near accurate....
