IMPORTANT! If you are an existing member you will need to read this in order to login to our new forums. 

When you try loging in you will receive a warning saying "Password security has recently been upgraded. Please enter your password again". Our new forums use a more secure encryption algorithm so it needs to re-encrypt your password. The first time you enter your password is simply validating that you have the correct password. The 2nd time essentially changes your password. 

PLEASE CAREFULLY and SLOWLY type your password to avoid typos. You will only have to do this the first time you login to the new forums. If you have forgotten your password, try using the password reset option. If you are still having trouble, please contact us through the link on our main menu and we will try to help you as fast as we can. Due to our large member base this may take a long time depending on how many requests we receive so pleaes try using the password reset first. In order for us to help you you MUST have to have access to the e-mail your account is registered to.

Our goal is that by having this popup message is to help reduce the number of questions people have about logging into the new forums. I know this popup message is going to get annoyin but I promise to remove it soon.

If you forgot your USERNAME you can login using your email address! Isn't that clever :P After logging in, you can get your username in your profile control panel.

We are happy to announce the availability of the Paid Character Transfer service for World of Warcraft. You can find this feature in the account-management section of the official World of Warcraft website. This new functionality will allow you to transfer characters to other realms (within certain restrictions) in order to join friends and family or make new friends and allies. Learn more about this new feature in our Paid Character Transfer FAQ.

The initial launch of the Paid Character Transfer service will only allow transfers between a limited set of realms. You can now transfer characters off of these realms:

• Altar of Storms
• Argent Dawn
• Demon Soul
• Illidan
• Warsong

We'll gradually scale up the list of realms to accommodate more players as quickly as possible. To start transferring your characters, just log in to the account-management section and click the Paid Character Transfer button. Good luck in your continued adventures in Azeroth, and have fun on your new realm!

Please note that because it is tied into the account-management section, the Paid Character Transfer service may be unavailable during the regularly scheduled weekly maintenance.
