Question EU to US tranfers?

I was just wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to tranfer an EU account or character to the US account or server?

I ask as I would like to play with my american friends but not have to buy a completely new version of wow and start from scratch as I have all 3 collectors editions on my EU account!

Thanks for anyhelp anyone can give!

I honestly have no idea about this, and I think the best thing to do in this case is to directly contact customer support really. They will be able to give you the best answer to this question.

You could however change your login server in the Config.wtf file.. you would be able to create characters on the US servers, you just wouldn't have your collector's edition pets, etc. available on those characters.

I think this still works.

Iirc, you will not be able to connect as long as you do not pay for an additional US account, since your account name is registered for the european realms.

you can create a US-trial-account and login right away with your currently installed client, just need to change the realmlist.wtf. By experience you get 100-200 ms more, might differ though.

No. You cannot transfer between the two. However, you can change the realm list file as previously stated and create a new character to go play with your frends. No, it's not bannable or against the EULA, but it isn't officially supported either.
