I highly doubt this. Your GM was either misinformed, or misinterpreted.

There should be a paid transfer FAQ somewhere on this page: [url]http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/character-transfer-intro.html[/url] (requires sign-in -- unfortunately I'm at work and my authenticator is at home so if someone can give me the direct link it would be appreciated).

There is also a FAQ at: [url]https://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=85662250&postId=854849953&sid= 1[/url]

I want to move a character from my account to my (parent/sibling/friend)'s account (or vice versa). Is this possible?


The account-to-account transfers are intended to allow a player to move characters from one account to another, so long as the player is the registered owner of both accounts. This service is not intended to allow players to transfer characters from/to accounts that they are not the owner of. Please remember that it is not possible to legally transfer the ownership of an account from one player to another, and that doing so (or allowing someone other than the registered user to log into the account) is a serious violation of our Terms of Use and may result in the suspension or termination of the account.

These threads all go into great detail about account ownership, account transfer, and other nitpicky tidbits of the World of Warcraft terms of use that we all sign upon account creation, and re-sign every time we apply a patch. You, your friend, and your friend's brother, should make sure to read and understand it in its entirety before continuing to play the game, or attempting any sort of account/character transfer.

I have, in the past, transferred a character from an inactive account to an active one. So I doubt that is your technical problem.

Clarification on the rules is allowed, but discussing, assisting, or encouraging anyone to break the WoW rules is against our community rules and will result in a swift thread lock. I'm not yelling at anyone, just making a preemptive warning now that I've made the rules crystal clear.
