Wow Season Of Discovery Realm Consolidation: Free Transfers

Blizzard’s Season of Discovery team is consolidating realms due to low populations on several servers. Here’s the info on what’s happening and what you need to know about the free character transfers.

What’s Going Down

Lava Lash (US), Lava Lash (EU), and Chaos Bolt (EU) servers have populations that are too low.
Blizzard is closing these realms to new accounts and opening free transfers to larger servers.
Players on these realms can transfer to Wild Growth PvE or Crusader Strike RP-PvP in their respective regions.

Official Blizzard Statements

Blizzard-US

Lava Lash isn’t where we want it to be. We generally try to let roleplay realms do their thing, but it’s looking pretty sparse even after recent transfers.

So, we’re closing Lava Lash to new accounts and opening free transfers to Wild Growth (PvE) and Crusader Strike (RP-PvP)

Blizzard-EU

After looking at last week’s numbers, it’s clear that the RP realm here isn’t holding up population-wise for the best WoW experience.

We’re closing these realms to new accounts and opening free transfers to bigger, healthier servers.

Transfer Details

These changes are effective immediately, and transfers will remain open indefinitely. Find the free transfer option in the in-game store at the character select screen.

From Realm	To Realm 1 (PvE)	To Realm 2 (RP-PvP)
Lava Lash (US)	Wild Growth	Crusader Strike
Lava Lash (EU)	Wild Growth	Crusader Strike
Chaos Bolt (EU)	Wild Growth	Crusader Strike

TL;DR:

Lava Lash (US/EU) and Chaos Bolt (EU) realms have low populations.
Free transfers to Wild Growth PvE and Crusader Strike RP-PvP realms.
Transfers are open now via the in-game store.
