WoW Classic allows some free character transfers on legacy shards

Player characters who decided to stay on WoW Classic’s “Classic Era” realms after Burning Crusade Classic came out this past summer knew they had to be in for a much quieter lifestyle. Perhaps it’s been too quiet, however, because Blizzard is all but pushing players to consolidate on a few choice realms in order to bolster population.

The studio announced that it was offering free character transfers off of specific underpopulated realms to either the Mankrik (PvE) or Whitemane (PvP) servers. Blizzard warned players that this move was “irreversible,” so, you know, look before you leap and all that.

The Classic Era realms is getting ready for Patch 1.14 with some new graphic settings and DX12 support. Blizzard has also hinted that fresh servers for WoW Classic may be in the game’s future.

Activision-Blizzard is considered a controversial company in the MMO and gaming space owing to a long string of scandals over the last few years, including the Blitzchung boycott, mass layoffs, labor disputes, and executive pay fiasco. In the summer of 2021, the company was sued by the state of California for fostering a work environment riddled with sexual harassment and discrimination, the disastrous corporate response to which has further compounded Blizzard’s ongoing pipeline issues and the widespread perception that its online games are in decline. As of fall 2021, multiple state and federal agencies are currently investigating the company.
