It's a good change indeed, but I wish they would reduce the cost for it allso, or atleast make you able to transfer multiple characters for one fee.

The only people this benefits are gold sellers and Blizzard. Any normal player doesnt need to transfer more than 1 time per month.

Agree with marlance, if they really want to make it easier for players to 'play with their friends' then lower the price.

A guild I was in broke up shortly after Ulduar and all the players scattered to various servers. A few went in groups, one of which ended up on a server they really didn't like. The guild they had transfered into wasn't a good fit for them and they later decided that there really wasn't a single guild on the server they would be happy in. A couple of them quit the game before their transfers were up. I can't be certain but I'm fairly sure they would still be playing today if there hadn't been the transfer cooldown. That's another $25 in Blizzard's pocket for the second transfer on top of added subscription fees.

I'd consider those players to be "normal" players--sure they're selective in wanting a hardcore raiding guild, but they're not the type to jump servers constantly just because. I'm sure others know many players they would consider normal who would have benefited from this change.

I expect to see gbank ninja transfers start to rise now.

The 3 day cooldown probably won't change much in peoples attitudes. 30 days really ins't that much time if you want to steal a gbank and xfer off, and if anybody wants to steal a bank and pay the xfer fee to hop around servers oh well.

I'm still waiting for the paid faction change, now that will be good for me.

Only if you don't eat/drink properly (or if you already had a heart problem to begin with). They probably take turns though.

They probably do what those in the military such as the SEALS do during hell week and probably alternate a hour nap here and there.

It's not the same person playing all of them.
