The Warhammer Online team just announced that players on Athel Loren have the option to choose free transfers of their characters and guilds to Badlands or Karak Norn. Here are the details:

"To facilitate this we have enabled the multi-realm ability for Badlands and Karak Norn.  This allows accounts to have both Order and Destruction characters on the server and increases the character limit to 20.  There will be an 8 hour lockout when switching realms on the server.

Please welcome your new comrades-in-arms (or enemies) and help them to settle in."
