Kaivax posted earlier that Blizzard is going to be opening new realms, and at the same time opening free character transfers from and to select realms over the space of one day.

While they haven’t announce when this is happening, it can be assumed that they will wait a few days to give guilds and friends time to coordinate on where they are moving to.

As we previously announced, free character moves will become available in this region very soon. When these free character moves open, player-characters at any level will be able to move:

FROM	TO
Arugal	Felstriker
Faerlina	Heartseeker (new realm)
Stalagg	Heartseeker (new realm)
Herod	Earthfury (new realm)
Skeram	Earthfury (new realm)
Incendius	Netherwind
Thalnos	Netherwind
Fairbanks	Arcanite Reaper (new realm)
Whitemane	Arcanite Reaper (new realm)
Bigglesworth	Anathema
Pagle	Windseeker
Grobbulus	Deviate Delight

For approximately one day, the new realms will be restricted to only those players using a free character move. After one day, any player may create new characters there. This is to allow players using the free character move service a better chance at retaining the name of the character they’re moving.

We will let you know when the new realms open and free character moves are enabled.

Thank you!
