How to Get a Free Character Transfer in "WoW"

Blizzard's "World of Warcraft," also known as "WOW," is a massive multiplayer online role playing game that allows thousands of players from all over the world to play together in different servers called realms. These realms will often become overpopulated by players to the point that it begins to affect the speed and quality of the game for all players. In this case, Blizzard will allow players to transfer to a lower-populated realm without charging a transfer fee.

Instructions

1. Turn on your computer, and sign into your "WOW" account.

2. Access the "Account Management" page on your account.

3. Click on the "Free Character Transfer" option in the "Account Management" page.

4. Follow the instructions on how to transfer your character and which realms are available for you to transfer to for free.

Tips & Warnings

• There are certain promotional periods where Blizzard will offer "WOW" players free character transfers regardless of realm population, so regularly check in with Blizzard to see if they are offering such a deal.

• When you transfer your character to different realms, you will lose things such as your friends list and guild affiliation.

• Once a free transfer has been performed, it cannot be reversed after it is finalized, so think carefully before you commit to transferring your character.
