Paid Character Transfer FAQ Part 2

part1

What if my character's name is already taken on the destination realm?

In case of a naming conflict, you will be prompted to rename your character after the transfer is complete and you log into the new realm. Please be aware that any new name created for your character must comply with Blizzard's naming policy.

Does the paid character transfer allow me to change my character's race, faction, class, or appearance?

No. The character is relocated with its current identity intact. Your character's race, faction, class, and appearance cannot be changed.

Can I transfer characters from one account to another?

Yes, you can transfer characters not just between realms but also between accounts where you are the subscriber. Please note that any attempt to transfer a character to or from an account where you are not the subscriber could be considered a violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use and could lead to Blizzard taking disciplinary action against your subscription account(s), including but not limited to warnings, temporary account suspension, or permanent account suspension, as determined by Blizzard.

To initiate a transfer between two accounts where you are the subscriber, you will need to specify the account name associated with the account you wish to transfer a character to, and answer the 'secret question' for the destination account. Without this information an account to account transfer will not be possible.

Who is eligible for account-to-account transfers?

Transfers between accounts are only allowed between accounts where you are the subscriber. We do not support the transfer of characters between friends, guild mates, or family members. To conduct an account-to-account transfer, you will have to answer the 'secret question' for the destination account, and the last name on both accounts must match.

Why is it set up that way?

Blizzard takes the integrity of its game and the matter of account ownership very seriously. For this reason, the sale of characters and accounts is expressly against the World of Warcraft Terms of Use, and the transfer of characters from one account owner to another is prohibited.

Can I transfer characters from one region to another (i.e. moving North American characters to European realms or accounts)?

No. Characters can only be transferred between realms and accounts within the same region.

Is there any way to check the status of my character transfers?

Yes. By logging in to the Account Management section and clicking the Paid Character Transfer button you will be able to access a page that lists the details of all your pending, completed, and ineligible transfers. You can also use this overview to cancel pending character transfers before they are completed.

How do I cancel a pending character transfer?

You can cancel pending character transfers on the character transfer status page. Check the section containing your pending transfers and follow the on-screen instructions if you wish to cancel a pending character transfer.

If I don't like the new realm or change my mind, can I transfer back?

Once you have chosen to complete your transfer, you cannot reverse it. We strongly recommend you research your destination realm ahead of time to ensure it is a desirable long-term environment for you, before you initiate the transfer. The only way to move the character off the realm again would be to wait three months for that character to become eligible for another transfer.

Am I able to play my character after I have initiated a transfer?

When you initiate a transfer your character will be put into a queue to be processed. During this time the character will be available for play, however, being logged in to a character selected to move may prolong the transfer process or prevent the transfer from occurring. A character will not be able to be moved until it is logged out. Please keep in mind that the normal restrictions regarding mail and auctions will still apply.

Will all my stuff be transferred along with my character?

Your character will arrive on the destination realm with all the gold, equipment, pets, and all items in your characters' inventory and the bank. You will also keep all your bank slots. Quests will also be transferred, but please be aware that the progress for quests that require you to kill a certain number of monsters will be lost. Your Friend List and Ignore List will be cleared upon transfer. NOTE: Any items, gold, mail, or other character progress unexpectedly lost during the transfer will not be restored.

What happens to my honor points?

Your honor points and lifetime honor ranking will be transferred along with your character; however, any honor accrued after the last honor calculation but before your transfer is initiated may be lost.

Will I still have my Arena points?

Yes, your arena points transfer with your character; however, any arena points accrued after the last maintenance but before your transfer is initiated may be lost. Also, your character will not have any arena team affiliation upon arrival at the destination realm. Keep in mind that since your character will be removed from its arena team at the time of transfer, when the arena season concludes, you will not receive an arena title for your participation in the arena team you left behind when you transferred. If the current arena season will be ending soon and you would like to receive the title from your arena participation, you may want to wait for the season to officially conclude prior to transferring off the realm.

Will my guild status be transferred?

Your guild affiliation and tabard design will not be transferred. You will have to join or create a new guild on your destination realm.

Is there any discount if I am transferring more than one character?

We do not have a discount plan available at this time for multiple transfers. Should we offer any additional promotions or pricing options, they would be announced on our website.

How do I know if I will be taxed?

Players in select states in the U.S. may be subject to taxation when transferring their characters between realms and/or accounts using the Paid Character Transfer service. This list includes but is not limited to:- New Mexico
- Texas
If you have any questions or concerns in regards to the Paid Character Transfer tax or the amount that will be added, please contact your state's Department of Revenue.
