Thanks for understanding the challenge of how best to address populations. :) |

That's an interesting point. It is our standard policy to stop character creation, because for most transfer realms, we don't want new players to create characters there, then have no low-level players to play with, because everyone else is a 70. Also, that means once you get to 70 you'd have a hard time with the mature economy, advanced progression and so forth. For FCMs, what you can do is to create a lvl 1 on your current realm, transfer that character to the new realm, and check out the performance for you. I hope that is helpful. :) |
