With the New Year comes a new start, even for World of Warcraft characters. Blizzard poster Zarym has confirmed the following:

A fresh PvE realm allowing only for new character creation (no transfers) is coming extremely soon.

On the official realm status page, there are three news servers listed as down right now: Borean Tundra and Winterhoof for PvE and Wyrmrest Accord for RP. Zarym also said in the thread that PvE transfers are coming extremely soon.

So if you're looking for a fresh beginning, get ready to grind from 1-80 again, only this time do it along with the rest of the server. Maybe some of the earlier instances will see a surge in popularity. Then again, everybody on the server may just solo quickly to the level cap.
