Changing realms in WoW Classic
To change your server, you’ll need to purchase a Character Transfer from the Battle.net shop for £19/$25. Note that you cannot transport your Classic character into Retail WoW.

This is incredibly useful if you’ve just hopped into WoW, and then realized that your friends are in a different realm from yourself. Of course, you don’t want to lose everything you’ve worked for, but changing servers is a double-edged sword for many.
To get a Character Transfer, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Log into WoW Classic and stay on the main character menu.
- Select the ‘Shop’ button in the bottom left corner.
- Select ‘Services,’ then ‘Character Transfer.’
- Choose which character you want to transport, and your current realm.
- Tick the ‘Transfer Realm‘ box.
- From here, choose your new realm from the right-hand dropdown menu.
- Click ‘Continue.’
For all of the specifics you need, Blizzard’s terms and conditions are here.
