WoW Character Transfers Expand

There's a PvE to PvP Paid Character Transfers FAQ on the World of Warcraft Forums explaining that Blizzard is expanding the premium service of character transfers to allow transfers of PvE characters to PvP servers. They head things off by answering the most obvious question first, which is why have they changed their policy in this regard: "Because World of Warcraft has matured significantly since the inception of Paid Character Transfers, we don’t feel that PvE-to-PvP transfers will have the negative impact on the game that we initially wanted to avoid when we started the service in 2006." Thanks Massively.

Leveled to max level on both servers..

I leveled to max level on both server types on more than one occasion, and I can honestly say that there was no difference whatsoever. My last character I leveled to 70 on Illidan was a Hunter, and I was killed a grand total of 7 times in 200 hours. My Rogue, even less. That's a grand total of about 2 minutes spend running back to my corpse. Most high level players are more concerned with running the never-ending gear/raiding treadmill, rather than anything else. If they are hardcore into PvP, they are spending most if not all of their time in Arenas and Battlegrounds. The entire argument the last couple years was "You shouldn't be able to easily carebear level your character to max level on PvE, then simply transfer to PvP. You have to tough it out like everybody else while fighting through hardship and grief". That might be true on hardcore PvP servers in hardcore PvP games, like in old school Asheron's Call or old school Ultima Online. But in WoW, please. You die, you lose nothing. You simply run back to your corpse in 10 seconds. That's not "hardship and grief". The only thing wrong with this change is that it took 3 years to implement, and that is it.
