no they actually transfer it. Blizz is pretty reliable and good about that stuff. my brother had a few character transfers and it worked you fine. there were no complications.

The process of transferring is very smooth. The only problem is, is that you cannot transfer a character from a pve server to a pvp server. There is no way around this what-so-ever sadly.

People on a pvp server can transfer to a pve server, but not vice-versa.

Well I myself never did it during my playing years of wow but I did know some buddies of mine who did. It works and usually within a hour your character will be xfered and ready on your new destination realm without any problems that i know of. It is not a gype and lastly I might like to add that you can't transfer pve characters to pvp realms. Works the otherway around.

i could say you should repeat the question and deliver an e mail to snowfall. or call there hotline. it is a few thing snowfall can restoration, im confident lots swifter than something absolutely everyone can recommend right here. ive never performed this till now yet that's what i could do.
