Common Problems

  • I receive the error: "An error was encountered. Please come back later."
  • There is a cogwheel icon next to my character and it won't let me transfer it, when buying the service it gives me an error to please come back later.
  • I got an error when attempting to Faction Change my character.

You may receive this error when trying to use a character service. Check the list below to identify the cause of the error and resolve it, then try to buy your service again.

  • Your character received another service before and you never logged in since
    • Log in with the character at least once, log out, and try again
  • For Modern WoW characters, the error can occur if:
    • Your character is in the Exile's Reach
      • You must complete the introductory storyline and leave the Exile's Reach before you can buy a Transfer, Faction Change, or Race Change
    • You have an unclaimed reward in the Great Vault
      • Visit the Great Vault and claim your reward
    • You are a member of a Community
      • If you are unable to complete a faction change service, logging in to the character and either leaving the Community or giving leadership to another player may resolve the issue.
  • For WoW Classic characters, this error can occur in the following situations:
    • If you are trying to transfer to a realm that is full or closed
      • You must choose a different realm
    • You haven’t logged in to your character in a long time
      • Log in with the character at least once, log out, and try again
