Do not create auctions until the transfer is complete. If you see an error message about pending mail on the character after you've cleared out your mailbox, you may have inbound mail that hasn't arrived yet.

As part of the official patch notes for 1. Since you need to leave your Company when performing a server transfer, none of your progress will carry over to the new world.
In addition, you cannot transfer to a server if you already have a character there. Some servers have thousands of players in them. For instance, the El Dorado server had over 20, players at one point due to it being home to popular streamers. Though, with so many players waiting to get in, the wait times were exorbitant. Some players have reported waiting upwards of four hours before being able to join a server.
Your faction is more than a loose grouping of different fantasy races. The choice matters. Being on one faction means you can't cooperatively play with those from the other. At best players can co-exist in neutral towns, but there is no way to form parties or groups across factions. Even if you could, the game garbles the text chat of opposing factions to simulate the language barrier between them. There's no way to communicate with what is supposed to be my mortal enemies.
This faction system is one of WoW's defining features and is quickly becoming its greatest weakness. Having a huge group of players to fight against is awesome, but it effectively cuts WoW's population in half, meaning less people to team up with. Because WoW players are divided up between hundreds of different servers, some servers have become more popular for one faction more than the other.
Wildly more popular, in many cases. Wowprogress estimates that seven of the top ten servers with hardcore raiding guilds disproportionally favor the Horde. Illidan-US, one of WoW's original servers, has an estimated 22, active Horde raiders compared to just active Alliance raiders. That means if you want to play WoW's more difficult endgame content, you're likely going to need to start over or pay to become a Horde character.
During BlizzCon , game director Ion Hazzikostas admitted that faction balance was one of the biggest issues plaguing WoW today and that there were no easy answers.
The faction imbalance not only makes the game less fun for those in the minority on a server, but it also often divides friend groups unnecessarily unless everyone agrees to be on the same side. In recent years, Blizzard has merged servers and even implemented complex technology to try and solve the problem. Connected Realms, for example, link two or more servers together to make them act as if they were one big server.
It helps, but they're a band-aid. Despite a good many US servers being connected to others, there's just as many that aren't connected. And if you're on one of those non-connected servers, the faction imbalance can absolutely sting you. Back when Shadowlands first launched, I decided to start over with a new character. Almost all of my WoW characters are Alliance, so this time I thought it'd be fun to play as the Horde instead.
But it wasn't until I spent nearly a hundred hours getting to level 60 and playing the endgame that I started to realize something was wrong.
