Guild Wars 2

…characters you can pick a new server without paying gems. Is this true? Also is this a violation of the TOS or not? I don’t want to get in trouble.

“The transfer fee is only charged if you have characters on your account; in other words, if your account has no characters or you delete all existing characters first, you will be prompted to select a new home world after creating a new character, free of charge”

You should be fine. I had a quick google and multiple threads have people claiming that this works.

Never tried it but I’ve heard the same, it shouldn’t be a violation of the TOS, it’s just a waste of the time and effort you’ve put into those characters. Easier to grind gold and exchange for gems.

Yes if you delete all your characters you can transfer with no cost. All your bank items will not be deleted. But beware if you have anything in guild bank, that will be unaccesible on new server.

“Someone” is usually not the most reliable source. However…

Ok, confirmed by my good team member: *The server transfer fee is for moving characters, if you have no characters the transfer is free.

Seems true to me.
