Character transfer exploit.

[dancie]

Hello there.

I found an exploit today which can be done with Character transfers.

I'm not sure if it is known already, so forgive me if it is old.

1. It doesn't move the character forever, it is free however.
2. It will make the character "locked" on it's old realm after a day or so, making it unable to play with.

So what good is it?

Well for example, you have a lot of gold or items on a very populated server and have another character which you play on a less populated server.

So what you could do is make a level 10 alt or so, give him tons of gold/items, move them over to the realm where you're main is and just send them the items, after a day or so the character will be transferred back to his old realm and make him "locked".

So how do you do this?

What you need to be able to is pay through paypal.

Just create a paypal account, link it to your world of warcraft account, and follow the paypal payments when you transfer the character of your choosing.

When done, because Blizzard doesn't check if payment is received, after about 30 minutes the character will be on the server where you desire it to be.

Personally I just did it to move some items to my new main which is on a less populated server, without having to pay 20 euro, which is expensive imo..

I'm sure there could be other reason, but I leave that to you to find out.

wait what, you do this with a paypal account without any money on?

[dancie]

Yes.

I used a paypal account with no money, and blizzard doesn't check it at first.

And it worked, for me.

p.s.

Although on my paypal account, I do have a creditcard and bank account enabled, because I actually wanted to move the character, but blizzard didn't charge my bank so I think they do not check it at first..

my friend did this at the end of cata with an 85 .......his toon is still locked till they get their money....but he transferred all his boa's 50k and a bunch of valuable items

Doing it with a level 10 would be really nice and easy
Does guild bank transfer also work? o.o

So the character ends up transfered back to the origional server, is it locked instantly or after a few days, and is the character restored with the gold and items from prior to the move?

and, has anyone tried moving 50k gold from server a to server b, using this, then sending that gold from character 1 to character 2 on server b, when character 1 gets moved back to server a If it is locked instantly, well that was my first question, if its not, and its restored to its state prior to the move, you should be able to send the gold and items from character 1 to character 3 on server a?

Then move character 3, rinse repeat.

Seems like it could dup gold if this works, I did just realize the gold limit for a lvl10 is 300g, so this is kinda rediculous, but back to moving guilds theory then, what happens when the payment 'bounces' and the guild gets moved back?

I would assume you transferred the money/items from the vault, so the guild should be moved back, but not the items.

Although looks like no ones tried a guild transfer yet, so everything is just speculatory

[twizt3dkitty]

Yea, I kinda wanna give it a shot, but I dont wanna risk the gold....

The actual question is when the payment 'bounces'

is the character/guild "transfered" back

or

"restored" to its origional server.

That is the key to my suggestion, but its all speculation as you said as well, Im not trying to say do this, as I dont know what would happen either, Im trying to think about how much gold to test this with. or maybe some sha crystals. As an enchanter i have a bunch of them

In order to use a paypal account, you must link a credit card to it.

and most cards which you use online can be overdrawn, aka you can use money to get a negative balance.

Posted this in guides a while back, mainly for transferring heirlooms.

thing is you cant even delete the character until you've sorted it with blizz, so technically you'll be stuck with that character on your account forever

To unlock you char go to your account then to transfer history and then abort the transfer and your char is playable again.

Can someone confirm this ?

Not true. You need a credit card to VERIFY the account, but you can use it to pay / get money without it

Guys I had the same problem but I did not use the PayPal. I just paid it with my credit card. And YES, I had enough money on my credit card for the char transfer and it is really curious. After an hour or so I received an email that said that the char transfer was cancelled and my 10 lvl char is now locked. What was wrong?
