Select Character Transfers to New Realm! - Eyonix on 1/25/06
We will be opening character transfers for the 12 realms listed below tomorrow, Thursday, January 26 at 3:00 AM. Characters on these realms will be able to transfer to a new PvP realm, Mug'Thul. This round of transfers will be open Monday through Friday from 3:00 AM to 3:00 PM PST until Wednesday, February 1 at 3:00 PM PST. Please be aware that until the transfer window is closed, standard character creation will be unavailable for Mug'Thul. We do want to emphasize that Mug'Thul is a standard Player vs. Player (PvP) realm type, and players transferring from an RP or PvE realm type will not have an opportunity to transfer back once the transfer has been made.

They finally give us a damn move option and it's to a PvP server? What kind of fucked up shit is that?

I hope to god that there are people that will move with this. And they for damn sure better give us another option.

The PVP servers are the only ones currently with low pops.

That is fucked though.

They are low pop cause there are 100 of the damn things.

Maybe there will be a bunch of people moving off AD with this transfer. I'm sure as hell not going to be one of them though.

what about the new servers? those can't be full already!!!

I really can't understand the reasoning behind allowing transfers from a normal world to a PvP one.

First of all, if people wanted to play in a PvP realm they would have friggin gone there in the first place!

Secondly, doesn't this kinda fuck up the balance of power on these realms? I can somewhat understand allowing transfers to an already established PvP realm since the balance is already established, but a brand new one???

I mean shit Blizzard, even TURBINE understood this one.

I think you guys miss a huge portion of this game not being involved in PVP, there are so many rewards for becoming involved in it and it really pretty fun since your fighting the horde and they cant communicate with you. Just my .02cents

it's not that it's anti-pvp. I think it's that in the PvP realms you don't have a choice. They can gank you and you can't do shit about it. Add to that the type of person who generally starts a character on a PvP server and you've get me, a person who says FUCK THAT. PvP is fun, if you decide to do it. I personally don't like having to die a hundred deaths because some jack-off 11 year old has mommy/daddy issues.

I totally agree Sher.

I'm looking forward to trying the battlegrounds and the optional pvp events.


I hated trying to finish a quest in ac2 and having some level 50 player walk by and one hit kill me for no reason.

Important: Please Read - Originally, select PvE and RP realms were chosen to be part of this particular character transfer phase, however, due to player feedback concerning the character transference of non-player vs. player characters to a player vs. player realm type, we made a last minute decision to remove the realms from this round of transfers, and as a result, only the remaining PvP realms are eligible for transfer to Mug'thol.

We apologize greatly for this inconvenience and continue to explore other available options for alleviating population issues on realms which could benefit from the process.

The webpage will be updated shortly to reflect this information.

So now we don't get to get rid of at least some of the people. yay.

I have faith that they will do something soon with AD. They seem to be very proactive in moving shit around so im sure we are not far off.

As far as ganking goes a lvl 50 will not touch you as it will result in a dishonorable kill which has a substantial inpact on their PVP ranking. Only toons within your level range will go after you.

Edit: But I guess you could always have some assclown that doesnt give a shit about his ranking.

I have a lvl20 something priest on a pvp server.

It's definately waay more intense once you get into the contested areas. You gotta group up to get anything done, including solo quests simply because there's saftey in numbers. Everytime you see another player run by in red, you can definately feel the adrenilin start kicking in... will they attack? will they just go about there business? Kinda cool, actually... and much more realistic from an RP perspective. One of the reasons I never understood the RP realms (RPPVP would be pretty kickass imo). I've really only been ganked once or twice ever by a higher level. Most of the skurmishes are between same level players all questing in the same area or looking for the same mobs for drops. And, in that sense it's really cool to be able to clear out an enemy faction, and have the place to yourself (something I would LOVE to do in Felwood).

I guess I'm just saying it's worth a try for the experience. I know moving your main is probably kinda freaky, but it is a cool, more intense play style.

I was under the impression that the only way to get a dishonorable kill was by killing civillians (npc's)? I could be wrong...

Ya you cant get DKs from killing players, and from my experience on a pvp realm as long as youre not a holy priest/resto druid you shouldnt get ganked by even levels and high levels are normally in BGs/STV so it isnt too bad, they normally stop killing you after the first time but if they dont just go somewhere else (or bubble hearth....... im kidding)
