How to Transfer Money in WoW From One Server to the Other

In the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) "World of Warcraft" (WoW), money comes in three denominations: copper, silver and gold. Money can be made through killing and looting mobs, completing quests or by selling and trading items with other players or in the "Auction House." To transfer money from one server to another, you will need to give the money to a specific character and transfer that character to the new server.

Things You'll Need

Character above level 10 to transfer to new server
Money you wish to transfer
Credit card in your name that is linked to your "World of Warcraft" account

Instructions

- 1
  Log in to "World of Warcraft" and log in to the character you plan to transfer. If you need to send money to the character you will transfer, log in to your character holding the money you wish to transfer.
- 2
  Send the money you want to transfer to the character you want to move by mailing the money to that character. This character must be at least level 10 to be transferred. You will want to keep in mind that depending upon your character's level, there will be a limit as to how much gold can be transferred with your character. The Blizzard Paid Character Transfer FAQ page notes the gold limits as follows: "Level 10-30: 300 gold limit, Level 31-50: 1,000 gold limit, Level 51-69: 5,000 gold limit, Level 70-80: 20,000 gold limit."

  Log out of the character that you sent the transfer money with and log onto the character you are going to transfer. Clean out your character's mailbox and complete or cancel any auctions that are listed with this character. You will not be able to transfer your character if your character has any active auctions or mail in her mailbox. The Blizzard Paid Character Transfer FAQ page notes that if your character is a guild leader, you will need to promote someone else to guild leader before the character can be transferred.
