To transfer from Season of Mastery (SOM) to Classic Era, players can use the Free Character Transfer option in the Shop Menu on their Season of Mastery realm, allowing them to move their characters to a Classic Era realm or a Wrath Classic realm of the same ruleset, with the transfer being one way only and final. The Free Character Transfer service is available until July 28, 2023, after which Season of Mastery Realms will become permanently unavailable, and characters will no longer be able to enter the game world, making it essential to initiate the transfer before this deadline to avoid losing access to the characters.
