Blizzard EntertainmentChanging realms in WoW Classic
To change your server, you’ll need to purchase a Character Transfer from the Battle.net shop for £19/$25. Note that you cannot transport your Classic character into Retail WoW.
This is incredibly useful if you’ve just hopped into WoW, and then realized that your friends are in a different realm from yourself. Of course, you don’t want to lose everything you’ve worked for, but changing servers is a double-edged sword for many.
To get a Character Transfer, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Log into WoW Classic and stay on the main character menu.
- Select the ‘Shop’ button in the bottom left corner.
- Select ‘Services,’ then ‘Character Transfer.’
- Choose which character you want to transport, and your current realm.
- Tick the ‘Transfer Realm‘ box.
- From here, choose your new realm from the right-hand dropdown menu.
- Click ‘Continue.’
For all of the specifics you need, Blizzard’s terms and conditions are here.
Now that you know the server populations, for more WoW Classic Cataclysm content, check out our guides for Stonecore, the Lost City of Tol’vir, and Grim Batol.
If you’re keen to experiment with different classes it’s best to be aware of all the changes that have been made to the Mage, Hunter, Warrior, and Priest in Cataclysm.
