Blizzard has announced on its front page that it has opened up a select few servers for character transfers. Players with characters from one of five servers--Altar of Storms, Argent Dawn, Demon Soul, Illidan, and Warsong--are eligible to transfer their characters to other servers of their choice for a fee of $25 per character. Of the 165 servers listed on Blizzard's World of Warcraft site, 50 are not open to receive characters at this time.

We'll gradually scale up the list of realms to accommodate more players as quickly as possible. To start transferring your characters, just log in to the account-management section and click the Paid Character Transfer button. Good luck in your continued adventures in Azeroth, and have fun on your new realm!
