With another batch of character transfers commencing over in Europe, it might be wise to know about some of the finer details of the feature. Totalhalibut dropped by Europe’s World of Warcraft forums regarding this matter, specifically about the cooldown time that paid transfers carry.

According to the poster, Drysc over at the US forums had stated that the cooldown, which used to be six months, was now cut down to just one. The problems began when the poster initiated a transfer to the Trollbane server two months ago. Come this month, when Totalhalibut attempted to transfer to another realm, the account manager indicated that the character would only be transferable by September 28.

Was it a case of account problems, or was it a case of Blizzard having stricter policies for WoW‘s Europe chapter? Thundgot dropped by to fully explain Blizzard’ current paid transfer cooldown time:

Both regions should currently have a 3 month cool-down. I’ll make sure to get that confirmed though, and will post a correction if needed.

The first plan was to lower it to one month in the US and in Europe, but we decided to go for three months instead. The change of mind came between the US and European posts being made, hence why the one month cool-down was posted (and active for a short time) in the US, but not in Europe.

I believe there should be a later US post about this, but I haven’t tracked their posts on the topic.

In case the readers here experienced similar problems as Totalhalibut, we’re hoping this clear the whole matter up. Drop back again in case Thundgot updates this topic.
