    Transferred to Silvermoon there last night after getting fed up with Lagspear. Guild I was in sucked, the guild I wanted to get into announced they were going to be no more 2 days ago, so I had little to stay for other than a laggy and relatively poorly progressed server.

    Err so yeah, haven't tried out Silvermoon much, have a low lvl Shaman there but it appears to be much better. Got a mail this morning to confirm it had been approved so will hopefully be able to play on my mains again tonight!

    I transferred from Bladefist to Executus, as some of my friends were there. It was a definate improvement, especially on the PvP side. I used to be waiting 20+ minutes for anything, now its 1-2 minutes max for any of the bg's.

    I did consider transferring off Kilrogg for a good while before I switched guilds. It's worth it if you're trying to get off a crap server.

    I was considering following my friends to Doomhammer, who switched because of the poor progress on Steamwheedle Cartel. This doesn't affect me, being only level 37 at the time of posting, but I might switch anyway seeing as it's so difficult to get instance groups on SWC.

    Any suggestions?

    First time it took a while, couple of hours. Last time I transferred it was all over in minutes (couple of months ago).

    I've done it numerous times with different characters, to various different servers. Its taken me, on average, about 1-3 hours to transfer any single character.`

    you can take as much goods as your bag can hold. And your lvl depends on how much money. I think lvl 70 is something like 50000G.

    I believe level 70 is 10,000g. Considering the most expensive thing in the game is an epic flying mount @5000g and you can only buy one of them and gold selling is so rampant in the game, it makes perfect sense ;)

    Becareful when moving characters though, alot of people dont really appreciate the ramifications of the 3 month cooldown period because trust me, there are 2 absolutes in WoW life; 1) You will always be required to pay for your subscription every month and 2) GM's love the tears of those that dont read the T&C's.

    Yes, there was however one exception (that, as far as I know, they did not announce). When TBC was launched the 3 month "cool down" on transfers appears to have been reset. I managed to move across two characters a month before the time limit was up. Other than that, it's 90 days each way.
