i think the devs said that the launch of Nost PvE was also a chance for those who joined the community a little bit later to experiance another "day one" rush of players. i also think that the new PvE server will be mostly filled with the people that are currently NOT playing Nostalrius because of the fact that is it a PvP server and the new fresh players that are looking for a vanilla 1x PvE server (lets be honnest, most vanilla 1x are PvP servers anyway).

honnestly, i was a little skeptical about the whole "day one" rush thing again. but then i showed up to the test, i have to say that now im waiting for that server to drop. and regarding the transfers, its just like an old disney movie said. its "a whole new world".

and i say, new world, new people, new journey.

Well, I don't know, but is it even possible for Nost to properly transfer so many characters?

Personally I wouldn't mind if others want to transfer their sixties, but noone seems to wonder if it is doable at all.

I'm quite happy with anything I can get, considering I play for free, and I'm crossing my fingers for the PvE server. You can always ask but I think it's weird to demand something when you get all this for free.

They did it with the PTR realm. I hope they don't do it for the PvE realm though.

There are several ways to do a transfer:

1) Initial database clone - PvE server will launch exactly as PvP server was at that time, except that PvP flag is disabled.
This means: All chars and the whole economy is transfered at once, basically no work for the team, everything works fine from day one, AH is filled with stuff to buy, transfers at a later time would not be possible.

2) Individual automated free transfers - If such a system already exists, then transfers on demand would be possible, however without individual support from the staff, as they probably don't want to hold hands of 3000 ppl over the weekend.

3) Paid transfers - not possible as Blizzard strongly forbids payment options on private servers.

I would love to see option 1, a full DB copy on day one. This would allow all people that never actually wanted to play on a PvP server to seamlessly continue on launch, it is as well the least amount of work for the staff, and you don't have 2k people trying to kill wolves in Northshire on day one.

THERE WON'T BE A TRANSFER, so please stop asking for one. The majority wants to start on a fresh realm.

There is one simple reason to not allow transfer: the server would not exists otherwise.

If they will ever allow them, it will be after 6 months or something.
