This month will be a treat for many players of World of Warcraft alienated by lengthy queues.
Blizzard will allow character migration to alleviate long queues and fill up low-populated realms. Here's the current schedule for Europe English realm migration for January 2006.
Phase 10: January 9th to 13th
Zenedar –> Drak'Thul
Shadow Moon –> Drak'Thul
Argent Dawn –> Steamwheedle Cartel*
Earthen Ring –> Steamwheedle Cartel*
*) Migration to Steamwheedle Cartel might be delayed one week. For now, please consider it running January 9th to 13th.
January 20th to 21st
This is a re-run of the migration that was open December 5th to 9th 2005, because of great difficulties with the account management page at the time.
Bloodscalp –> Trollbane
Burning Blade –> Trollbane
Daggerspine –> Mazrigos
Stormreaver –> Mazrigos
January 23rd to 24th
This is a re-run of the migration that was open December 12th to 16th 2005, because of great difficulties with the account management page at the time.
Deathwing –> Talnivarr
Stormscale –> Talnivarr
Bladefist –> Emeriss
Kor'gall –> Emeriss
Note that Blizzard reserves the right to close down or redirect any migration at any time based on the population of the involved realms. Please keep an eye on the official Wow-Europe.com site for updates about the migration.
To not increase the load on the database during peak playing hours the migration will be open only between 03:00 and 15:00 CET (GMT/UTC +1) each day. Blizzard might choose to not allow migration on Wednesdays, due to the additional load when a huge amount of players login after the maintenance.
