Blizzard made a number of changes to the Free Character Transfer (FCM) program on NA servers. The list of available free character transfer options is as follows:

FROM
TO
DESTINATION TYPE
Benediction
Eranikus
PvP
Benediction
Old Blanchy
Normal
Grobbulus
Eranikus
PvP
Grobbulus
Old Blanchy
Normal
Faerlina
Eranikus
PvP
Faerlina
Old Blanchy
Normal
Skyfury
Angerforge
Fresh PvP

3 main changes have been made:

  • Free character transfers from Benediction to Sulfuras for Alliance players appear to have been disabled, though as this change was never announced, this may be in error.
  • The Skyfury fresh server appeared to be incredibly popular, causing population issues. Blizzard has now locked the server, preventing FCMs to it and disabling new characters from being created on that server.
  • As a follow-up to the previous point, free character transfers have instead been opened from the now-full Skyfury, to the just-opened fresh server, Angeforge.

Players are questioning how successful these measures will be at addressing the population and lag issues currently plaguing WotLK Classic. Only time will tell!

In response to overwhelming feedback from players, Free Character Transfers are now available from Skyfury to Angerforge. We will monitor this transfer connection very closely, and it may be closed without notice.


To reduce further overcrowding, we’ve temporarily disabled new character creation on the Fresh Start realm Skyfury. New or returning players who wish to try out a Fresh Start on a PvP realm may now select the Angerforge realm, or the Maladath realm if they’d like a bit less PvP.


I’ve updated the original post to reflect that Free Character Transfers from Benediction to Sulfuras are again available, for Alliance player characters.
