Now ain't that something?

For those can can't see the wow forums: From Bornakk:

Why are you now allowing character transfers from PvE realms to PvP realms?

Because World of Warcraft has matured significantly since the inception of Paid Character Transfers, we don’t feel that PvE-to-PvP transfers will have the negative impact on the game that we initially wanted to avoid when we started the service in 2006. This change will provide more mobility and freedom for players to experience the game with friends or play in the type of environment they’re looking for.

So I can transfer any character to any PvP realm of my choosing now?

Yes, as long as there are no other existing restrictions that would prevent the transfer from taking place, such as trying to transfer a Horde character to a PvP realm where you already play an Alliance character. Please see the Paid Character Transfer FAQ for more details and restrictions.

Do PvE-to-PvP transfers differ from other transfers?

No. The same rules and restrictions will apply to these transfers. Please visit the Paid Character Transfer FAQ for further details.

What if I don’t like the PvP realm I transferred to? Can I go elsewhere?

Any character that has completed a realm transfer can be transferred again after 30 days have passed.

Will there be any measures implemented to prevent abuse of this feature?

We’ll continue to monitor all realms and make changes to how the service works if it appears that abuse is taking place.

Will you offer PvE-to-PvP Free Character Moves in the future now that the option is available through the Paid Character Transfer service?

We may offer Free Character Moves from PvE realms to PvP realms in the future, should the need arise.

Will I now be able to create both Alliance and Horde characters on the same PvP realm on one account?

Creating both Horde and Alliance characters on the same PvP realm is still restricted, for many of the same reasons why Alliance and Horde characters cannot speak to each other in the game. Maintaining a barrier between the Alliance and Horde factions supports fair gameplay and is in keeping with the spirit of the Warcraft universe.

Heh, guess I'll stop leveling my priests now. :P

I was just looking at this in WoW forums. Holy crap! Never thought I would see that.

Well thats neat!!!!! I was thinking about rerolling onto a pvp server, but now I wont have to reroll!!!!

[gigauae]

well personally i dont like that, but who cares am sure some ppl will find this a very interesting experience, and imo now its safer for ppl to lvl as pve then migrate to pvp, leveling in a pvp community is a challange imo

I play exclusivley now on Pvp servers and I think this is cool.

At the end of the day any true pvper wants more people for more competition, so since this change can only increase server pop at the high end for world pvp (not counting the small minority who will quit in protest). World pvp is pretty much the only reason anyone would transfer (well ganking to) so world pvp should go up.

The only possible negative side effect (other than getting ganked a bit more) is if evryone decides to roll on pve servers for the grind, turning 1-60 content into even more of a ghostland. Of course this is a moot for 5 boxers who would benifit from the reduction in pre-outlands ganking due to the reduced pop of levelers.

So I give this a cautious, thumbs up.



Also I can't be the only one looking forward to watching the general boards ignite in a blaze over this. Should be some EPIC bitching.

Guess the 1-69 range will really be empty on PvP servers now. Why bother when you can roll a PvE and transfer it. I actually started a shammie group on mag yesterday. But i'll be rerolling them on my server now and possibly transferring them at 70.
