How to Change Servers on WoW?
Are you considering moving to a different server in World of Warcraft? Perhaps you want to join friends on a different server or start fresh on a new realm. Whatever your reason, changing servers in WoW is a relatively straightforward process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps and requirements to switch servers and get you playing with your new server.
Step 1: Meet the Eligibility Criteria
Before you start, you’ll need to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria to change servers:
• Your account is active: You cannot change servers if your account is suspended or closed.
• Your game account is linked to your Battle.net account: You must have your Battle.net account linked to your World of Warcraft game account to change servers.
Step 2: Choose the New Server
Once you’ve ensured your eligibility, you’ll need to select a new server to transfer to. You can use the Battle.net app or website to view the list of available servers.
• View the server list: Browse the available servers on Battle.net, either on your phone or computer.
• Find a server with the desired tag: Identify a server with a tag that matches your preferred playstyle (e.g., "PvE," "Raiding," etc.).
• Choose a server that allows player-versus-player (PvP): If you enjoy PvP, make sure to choose a server with this feature.
Step 3: Open the In-Game Shop
After selecting the new server, it’s time to open the in-game shop and initiate the server transfer process.
• Launch World of Warcraft: Launch the game and log in to your character selection screen.
• Access the in-game Shop: Click on the "Shop" button to access the in-game shop.
• Navigate to the "Realms" Tab: On the shop page, click on the "Realms" tab to view a list of available servers.
Step 4: Initiate the Server Transfer Process
Now you’ll initiate the server transfer process.
• Select the character you want to move: Choose the character you want to transfer from your current server to the new server.
• Choose the destination server: Select the server you want to transfer to.
• Complete the payment: Pay the server transfer fee ($25 for the "Character Transfer" service).
Important: Be aware that the Character Transfer service has a 24-hour refund policy. If you request a refund within this time frame, the service fee will be fully refunded.
