[Character migration]
We plan to offer a 1 time migration from high population realms to low peopulation realms to ease the overcrowding. It is currently undergoing implementation/testing. More details to follow.
My guess is set a limit to how many people can move per server. If not the high ones now will become empty and vice versa.
I don''t think they will limit it because that isn''t really a fair move for all. If a high server suddenly becomes a really low server, it will balance out over time with an influx of new people.
On that note, would it be better to wait on Blackhand and see if the migration thins it out?
Depends.
If we were ever looking for a chance to consolidate then it sounds like the guild would have to move for this to happen.
The question is are there enough people stranded on other servers for a whole move to be worth it?

On that note, would it be better to wait on Blackhand and see if the migration thins it out? Since the guilds are so large, I mean.
That''s a big ''it depends'' question. We have no data on how they''ll be implementing this.
Is it one time only per account or per char?
Is it one time only from Feb-Mar? (hypothetical months for the example)
and so on and so forth.
Until they release how they''re going to do it and which servers will be allowed to be moved from/to we may as well wait and see and play.
Also it seems more people play alliance than horde so we don''t even know if they''ll limit it by faction or anything else. As they say in the military just hurry up and wait.
I''m hoping that they do not cap the people who are moving, such that everyone moves from Blackhand and the ""moved to"" server becomes overpopulated and laggy.
Okay, I''m not hoping they actually do this, but it would be funny in a sort of ironic and grim way.
Actually, one possible exploit he could do is start an alt on Blackhand, gives the alt a ton of gold and transfer it to another server to takeover their AH. In that case character migration could a really bad idea. I wonder if they''ll limit what loot can be taken with you.
They should limit the number of auctions you can have. Limit to like 25 auctions, high enough to not hurt ""regular"" players, low enough to really discourage market takeover.

It specifically says ""from high ... to low"". I assume that means that people on medium population servers will not have the option... URL?
Wonder how it will work.
The Blizzard posters have been saying variations on that same thing for a couple weeks now. Did they actually give more detail finally?

I guess that depends on how long the window for moving is.

It would be ironic to see everyone who is not on Blackhand from GWJ move there because it suddenly became the smoothest server.

Hopefully Iamtrans will go away.

I think it would be even funnier if everyone moved to the Blackhand server- since it''s the coolest, cuz our Guild is on it.....

There is a new guy that seems to be doing what Iamtrans is doing. Look for Guildseller.
