Public service announcement: It is advised to not initiate guesting on another server when you are tired, it could lead to the accidental transfer to that server.

Yup, it happened to me, I accidently transferred to another server because I was tired and wanted to do something on another server through guesting really quick before going to bed. Transferred to Blackgate by mistake. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll enjoy my new server. =D

Advice2: Do not keep 1800 gems in your wallet. Buy them when you need them. That way you cannot transfer or buy anything on the gemstore by mistake.

This post will probably get deleted because it advises people to not buy gems if they are not going to spend them.

Wait for it…

A buddy of mine bought me a 2000 ($25) Gem Card from a store. He doesn’t play computer games (just console games), but he knew I liked the game so he bought me the card as a birthday gift.

I know it is too late now for you, but is there an expiry date on the gem card?
Just so we know if i am planning to gift those to someone in the future.
Also, enjoy Blackgate. Great people, great server. I guest there very often.

Contact support.

Someone in our guild did the exact same thing and received a one-time refund and a correction back to his original home server. It came with a “we won’t help you if you do this again…” message.

Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”

What was his reaction? lol

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I’ve never transferred for gems, is there no confirmation window on how much it will cost and so on?

“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

He laughed and said “You idiot” lol. Its all good.

When you press transfer, it shows you how much, then when you press Transfer, it does the deed. It takes just as many clicks to guest as it does to transfer. So yeah, was just to take good enough notice. I don’t blame Anet at all for the system, my own fault. But one that I am laughing at, and not bothered by it at all.

There is no expiration date. Just make sure the person doesn’t lose it.

nah, don’t want to be bothered to do all of that. I have no guild or any friends on my previous server, so no real reason to transfer back. I’ll just consider it a happy accident, because I have heard good things about BlackGate.

How did you miss the dialogue asking if you wanted to pay the gems and if you were sure you wanted to proceed? Even when you’re tired, it’s not hard to see the bright blue gem icon.

it is easy to not pay attention when you are tired, and what I was planning on doing would only have taken a few minutes, which is why I didn’t stop playing right away.

Heh. My failures to pay attention so far have been restricted to: autorun off a cliff while talking to a friend; and “Oh, that was a champion…” Much less costly.

Just wait until you spend 200g on influence. For the wrong guild.

Hahahaha. Also, don’t buy ascended trinkets when tired. I bought 4 of the ascended trinkets that had completely wrong stats.

Anyway, enjoy your new server!
