Moved Zhenya to Ursin

[WetWired]

I moved my original WoW character from Illidan to Ursin last night and expect to play her pretty regularly. If anyone plays on Ursin, send Zhenya a message.

[Sovereign]

Whoa. After 2 or so years, why the change?

[WetWired]

Well, I wasn't playing her anymore, 'cause the Zelaron crew quit, and I wasn't about to move her to the PvE server I was playing on, but Ursin is a PvP server with people I know to play with, so...

You can't transfer from PVP->PVE anyway. Blizzard doesn't allow it.

[WetWired]

No, you can; you just can't do the opposite, which is why I'd never transfer PvP to PvE.

Oh, odd, I always thought you couldn't go either way. Interesting.

The reason is that PvP servers are considered "hard-mode", because you can't level in peace; you either need to bend your gear choices toward PvP, or deal with the possiblility of getting PKed repeatedly, either reduces productivity. Because of this, leveling up a character on a PvE server then transfering it to a PvP server would essentially be cheating. On the other hand, if you want to go to the trouble to level up your character on a PvP server then move it to the safety of a PvE server, that's your own issue.

My server (alleria) has had at least one free transfer from it, being a PVE server, to a pvp server.

There's only been one time in the history of WoW that PVE->PVP was allowed, and that's a big whole conspiracy because one of Blizzard's top people was on that server and he opened transfers to transfer with his guild to PVP.

[Willkillforfood]

Well, everyone told me it was opened.
