New Account Transfer
Not for free, unless you delete all your characters. Otherwise you have to pay to transfer.
So your options are:
1. Wait until you know
2. Create a character to try out the game but delete it and start over when you find out.
3. Create a character, level it and pay for a transfer (though I have no idea why you’d want to do this).
Man, isn’t the server system so much cooler than the district system?
As Vayne mentioned, transferring servers isn’t free unless you’re willing to delete all your characters. This might be your best option if you want to play immediately and you are okay with treating the time as a test run for when you start playing with your friends.
I think that even if you delete all your characters, you still get to keep anything you’ve got stored in your bank (which is account-wide), so the time doesn’t have to be a complete loss. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.
