My server is sooo dead. I spent 17 hrs yesterday in Icecrown and Saw 5 people.... yes thats right 5! 2 of which were horde. That being said my friends just started playing again but they are on a different server (when they started I wasnt playing) So now the question is do I do a Xfer 6 chracters 50 bucks a piece... 300 bucks or do i suck it up.. I mean it sucks not having people to play with even though im boxing... Just what do you think?
i thought it was less then 50 bucks like 30 or something. Transfer to a better server is what i would do anyways that way u can play with friends and have some kind of ineraction. Also ah prices will be less with more people.
Damn, I started reading the first sentence and when I saw "....yea thats right 5!" I did a double take.Quote:

I think i would have more fun on a server where people actually do shit... But who knows. Plus gives me a chance to check out a bunch of different quests alliance side and some other nice things.
How do flight paths work when you do a server faction change? do you loose them all any type of faction change would be pretty awesome as I know literally nothing about this crap..
or the third option, start fresh, start up a new team on the new server and level them up, dunno if you are willing to do that but i love the grind personally.
Cant you server transfer when you faction transfer for the same 30 bucks?

The server transfer just moves you.
The faction change lets you pick the race and appearance.
Not sure on how long between each you need to wait.
It was a couple hours or less for transfers.
There's a 3 day lock out until you can re-transfer.
I would personally move to the new server, if I was sure my friends were going to be in game for an extended time.
Not much point, if they will quit again in 3 weeks when they go back to university or whatever.
Still, your existing realm sounds dead, so that means no economy to buy what you need etc.
So a move somewhere is probably a decent idea.
I would liquidate anything which can be sold, and is not useful to your team.
Don't go and get rid of your gear on the other toons, you might want them at some point.
Get all the gold you can manage onto one toon.
Pick the most geared of your toons.
Unless you have one with all achievements or something else as a consideration.
Server transfer (and faction if need be) this one toon.
You already have five accounts.
Presumably Classic + Burning Crusade + Wrath of the Lich King for each.
And you have one toon on the new server, with a decent amount of gold.
I would purchase four vanilla copies of warcraft.
The basic game, not battlechests.
Send yourself RAF links from two of the other accounts.
Do not send the link from the account with the transferred toon.
Use the existing toon, to "boost" your four new toons.
That is two toons on existing accounts, which did not server transfer.
These will be toons you are keeping beyond 60th.
And two toons on the "vanilla wow" RAF accounts.
The vanilla accounts can be Orcs or Dwarves, or something equally generic.
I would probably RAF boost, 2 (or 4) sets of toons to 60th.
Which then gets you one (or two) extra level 60, from granted levels on your existing (already upgraded) accounts.
Then repeat the process, but with the other two already upgraded accounts.
And the remaining two vanilla (disposable) RAF accounts.
You will end up with 3 or 6 toons, on BCDE at 60th.
And 1 toon on A, at 80th with a bit of gold etc.
The 80 can continue to boost the other toons.
Or you could transfer characters around.
Or even transfer others from the other server here too.
In the meantime, you can one-box with your friends on their server.
Come to Kil'Jaeden, the soon to be boxing mecca of wow!
Seriously, we camp horde cities for fun :)
Pay your friends to transfer to your server. At least it will be cheaper.
I face a similar dilemma where I know people IRL that play on different servers and factions. I contemplated moving my team so I could start to actually raid with some friends, but I could not justify spending the $300 to do so. Maybe if I played super hardcore, but I don't.
My friends keep server hopping every 6 months or so which is cheap for them as they only transfer their mains. I am definitely not transferring 10+ characters so I just rolled a DK team on their server for some fun together.Quote:
