WoW characters can move

Created a character on World of Warcraft only to find that your friends are playing on another server? Assuming it isn't a personal thing - are they trying to tell you something? - up until now you'd have been stuck. With no opportunity for cross-realm play the only option had been to create a new character - not fun when you've spent literally days on your original hero. So the news that character migration will finally be happening is more than welcome. Of course there is a catch - it will cost 25$. Also you won't be able to go from PvE (players versus environment) to PvP (players versus player) or to a server less than 90 days old. And you may have to change your name if it is already taken - bad news if your night elf is called Legol@s or similar. No official date has been given yet but expect some character moving action within the next month or so.
