Free server transfers until Tuesday, need adviceFollow

Well, if you guys are an established raiding guild, it really doesn't matter how the economy is or what the community thinks. You guys should be self-sufficient by now. You don't need really the help of the community.

On the plus side, you guys can transfer as a guild onto a newer server where you'll get to be more uber than everyone else (epeen +3) and also there will be far less lag. It's always fun just to move to some new place and interact with new people, even if half of them hate you.

On the downside, most servers hate and despise transfers. They'll usually claim your guild are 'a bunch of noobs who couldn't cut it on your old server' and things of that nature. They'll get over it though. You'll also have to leave behind a lot of non-guildie friends you had on your server as well. Just make sure you're transferring for the right reasons. Don't be like me, transfer with a guild to a new realm, discover the game is no longer fun because all your RL friends play on a different server, gquit said guild, and transfer back to the original server.

Remember, if you mess up, you'll have to wait 3 months before you can transfer again.

You'll lose members from people that don't want to move.

But there will be plenty of people to pick up to fill those lost. There will be alot of "singles" that X-Fered over.

My previous guild took this transfer last night (if you're on Greymane, you'd know why Prev transfered :P). Things to note about the free transfers:

1). The transfer destinations (well, Baelgun at least) are NOT established servers, they were created (again, this is only dealing with Baelgun. The other servers may be different, but I doubt it) specifically for these transfers.

2). From a post on the Greymane forums, it appears that these transfers are not tied to the 3 month cooldown on paid transfers. Meaning that you could transfer back to your old server through the paid service if you feel you've made a mistake.

That being said, I'm not goin' anywhere, Zarniwoop was born on Greymane, and that's where he's dieing.

But maybe old server is not eligible for transfers; You would then not be able to pick it from list. And since they are offering this grand scale free server transfer, it probably isn't.

The clincher for us was realizing what TBC will mean. All the retired 60s from Blackhand will be coming back. Those people simply do not exist on Baelgar. We're gonna miss a few guilds we've made friends in, particularly XS force, a developing guild we just discovered that reminds us of us, but when the server has 600-900 queues... it's 11 PM server time and still a 100-person queue.

It's official, my guild is transferring to Nazjatar. From a tribe of Nagas to the Naga capital.

There are really only two people I will miss, and both of them are not in my guild... I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

You could always transfer and open up the gates for those awesome mounts^^
