Blizzard is making free server transfers available for players on specific US Classic Era servers.

More specifically, you will be able to transfer your characters to:

To Mankrik, from Atiesh, Bloodsail Buccaneers and Remulos
To Whitemane, from Arugal, Deviate Delight, Faerlina, Grobbulus, Loatheb, Sulfuras, Sul’thraze

Note that ordinary server transfer restrictions, such as not being able to have characters of opposite factions on a PvP server or being unable to transfer as a guild leader still apply.

Blizzard further note that these transfers are one-way – Customer Support will not be able to reverse them should you regret transfering, so consider this decision carefully.

This is likely an effort to consolidate lower population servers into fewer, higher population servers, as Classic Era servers are currently suffering from extreme underpopulation, a phenomenon that’s been reported as ongoing since the release of TBC Classic in June.

It is very possible that free character transfers for EU servers will soon follow, as they are currently facing similar issues.
