Some high-population realms are currently experiencing long queue times. Blizzard enabled free character moves from and restricted transfers to these realms.

EU Realms

In the EU region, you can’t currently transfer your character to Gehennas, Golemagg, Firemaw, Pyrewood Village, and Venoxis.

Adjustments have been made to some high-population realms in this region.

To prevent further overcrowding, we are now restricting transfers to:

Gehennas
Golemagg
Firemaw
Pyrewood Village
Venoxis

We expect to lift this restriction when these realms are no longer experiencing extended queues.

We’ve also enabled Free Character Transfers from the most overpopulated realms in this region:
