I have a paid European WoW account, but would like to play with friends on a US server. This site claims that it's possible by editing a line in the realm list file, but that didn't work for me. Other sites claim that it's impossible. Is there a way to switch between EU and US servers with a single account?

Best Answer
No, there's no way to transfer an account to a different region. Sorry. :(
Editing your
realmlist.wtffile as that link describes will make your game client connect to the US servers, but it doesn't change where your characters are stored or what type of account you have. The only reason you'd want to do that is if you had both a EU account and a US account, and wanted to switch between them without installing a second copy of WoW.
