What is the Paid Character Transfer feature?

The paid character transfer feature allows you to move characters to other realms. The cost of each paid character transfer is $25.00 USD per character.  Payments are by credit card (American Express, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa) for these transactions.

Does using my own credit card to pay for the transfer service put me newly purchased account at risk?

95% of all users purchasing pre-leveled World of Warcraft accounts transfer their new character to the server of their choosing. This is recommend as on a new server your character will not have any prior reputation and you will be able to change the characters name. During our year of business we have not had any prior problems or heard of any problems resulting from using your own credit card to pay for the transfer service.

Make sure the realm you would like to transfer to is eligible for transfer.
Not all realms are eligible for transfer list of currently eligible realms can be found here.
(Please note you must log-in to a pre-existing account to view realm eligibility)

A realm may not be an eligible destination for a variety of reasons, including:

  • The realm is full or densely populated at this time.
  • It has been fewer than 180 days since the realm was launched
  • You are attempting to transfer from a PvE (normal) realm to a PvP realm. Characters currently located on PvE realms are only eligible to move to other PvE realms.
  • There might be an upcoming free character migration to or from this realm.

The aforementioned restrictions may also apply to the eligibility of source realms. Keep in mind that we are constantly evaluating these populations and availability may change without notice. An updated list of currently eligible realms can be found here.

Please note that Blizzard reserves the right to disable paid character transfers to or from any realm at its own discretion.

This usually makes finding the right character on the right server rather difficult, fortunately with the paid character transfer service you can move your newly purchased character to the server you would like to play on.
