I have already tried moving one of my alts over to the new server, problem is the pending time jumped yesterday from 24 to 96 hours today. I want to move some of my high level characters there the only problem is I don't want to tie up those characters for that long. Right now many people are heated about the way blizzard is handeling the free transfers with little or no updates.
As of right now if you even try to move your character over its going to give you an error, I guess cause many people are doing it.
Hopefully this will get resolved since free transfers will exist for 1 week, but at this rate im sure that pending number is going to climb. I will keep you updated about this issue if I get any further info.
