Expansion + Free server change
Change servers option was free till recently. I don’t think it will ever be free again to be honest.
I can only tell you to use guesting until you collect enough in game money to buy transfer. If you are already at lvl 80 it should not take too long. It’s 35 gold atm I think and if you do one of any dungeon run per day for example you will earn around 1 gold at least.
Good luck!
You can’t afford both? How do you know that? Has the expansion date and cost been announced?
As far as you know the expansion won’t be out until Fall, which gives plenty of time to save backup. Therefore, if you can afford the server transfer now then don’t hold back because of an unannounced, possible expansion.
BTW: there are still free transfers…you just have to be willing to delete all your characters and start fresh.
The next expansion won’t be out until the end of 2013. You practically have 8-9 months or so, if not more. Save your real life money for the Expansion and use your ingame GOLD to buy a server transfer.
