In an effort to allow players to preserve their character and guild names, Blizzard will open up additional Free Character Transfers to new destination realms that are connected to the Pagle mega-server! These realms will enable players to retain their current names while still being able to join guilds, raids, dungeons, and PvP activities together on the same server.

Mega Realms Coming to Mists of Pandaria Classic

Update! We hear your feedback on character and guild names loud and clear, we knew this would be a very painful point but felt that the overall long term health of the play experience would outweigh it.

But! Late last night we did realize there was more we could do here.

The following realms will now Free Character Transfer to five new destination realms that are pre-connected to Pagle.

Faerlina → Nazgrim
Mankrik → Galakras
Benediction → Ra-den
Atiesh → Lei Shen
Whitemane → Immerseus

Character names and guild names are all unique on each realm, but all realms will be connected together able to join other guilds on other realms in the group and raid, dungeon and PvP together.

We hope that this solution will give everyone as much opportunity to secure the names that they have come to cherish.

These realms will be open and waiting for you with the character moves on Tuesday 23rd after realms go Live after maintenance.

Blizzard has also announced the connected realms for the EU Region:

The following realms will now Free Character Transfer to five new destination realms that are pre-connected to Mirage Raceway.

Firemaw → Shek’zeer
Gehennas → Garalon
Golemagg → Norushen
Pyrewood Village → Hoptallus

All previously closed realms will still direct to Mirage Raceway.

The other realms not listed have been closed for some time and have very few players left on them, I unfortunately couldn’t justify creating whole new realms for the handful of players left on them. They have been closed so long that anyone left on them is likely seeking a solo experience and unlikely to move anyway, as they could have done anytime in the last few years. I hope that clears up why they weren’t listed!

The expensive part of Connected Realms is the database work to consolidate everyone’s data, this is the part that we we love to do for you but just do not have the time, it is a very old and expensive process in time and manpower that we just can’t pull off here.

This route creates a connected realm like environment that people can transfer themselves into with each realm having a different destination hopefully ensuring everyone can secure their existing names.
