Earlier today, Thundgot of the offiical EU forums announced a couple of free character migrations for EU PvP realms. The transfers are an attempt to move some players from a few overly populated PvP realms to some that could use a little help. These transfers are available from December 17th (yesterday) to December 23rd.
Thundgot announced another batch of free character migrations for EU realms earlier. Fancy a change? See if your realm is on the list:

Due to population differences between the highest and lowest populated PvP realms, the following Free Character Migration will be available from December 17th to 23rd:
From: Burning Legion, Drak'thul, Sylvanas
To: Ahn'Qiraj, Burning Blade, Xavius
From: Magtheridon (Horde only)
To: Haomarush, Zenedar
Please note that this migration may be closed at any time should a destination realm's population rise too high.
If you have any questions about this specific migration, please feel free to add them below. However, note that migration is opened based on realm population analysis, not popular demand, so requests for other free migrations will not be responded to.

It's very interesting to me that Magtheridon-EU's transfers are specifically for the Horde. That's not something you see very often. It's also interesting that they're trying to get the Horde off of the server rather than trying to coax more Alliance on board. I suppose the Horde is just that dominant on the server that the overpopulation is specifically because of that faction, and losing more Alliance would be a disaster. A few of the destination realms have been destination realms before, too. Haomarush, Xavius, Ahn'Qiraj, and Burning Blade were all up for transfers a few months ago.
Slow fall castable on others in 3.0.8. Christian caught this one in his last Arcane Brilliance column, but I figured the rest of us non-Mages might like to know as well: Slow Fall will be castable on others in patch 3.0.8. Very exciting -- while there are a few other Slow Fall buffs in the game (and lots of parachutes, from all the vehicles in Northrend), now all you need to jump down from a high point in the game is a friendly Mage.
We expect to see a nice jump up in the number of Slow Fall videos. Which, come to think of it, we haven't seen that many of lately. Guess the whole "flying mounts" thing has made Slow Falling for long distances not so interesting. And while we're at it, before you say that you need Slow Fall to get the Going Down? achievement, you don't. First of all, it won't work, and secondly, there's a better way to do it: as you've probably heard by now, you can do it just by jumping off of the platform on the Scryers Tier in Shattrath onto the little canopy hanging over from the Lower City below. Everybody has their own place for that, of course, but that's the easiest. Still, it'll be nice to have Slow Fall for everyone -- we can throw it on the list with Levitate as a class ability that's been spread around a bit.
Any important news?
