Hello Support!

I didnt played for 2 months but before i paused the game i transfered my acc to an american server, just for testing. Now i logged on after 2 months and can’t find any players because when its about 6PM here its 8-10AM in america. So i would be forced to play at 6AM in the morning to find a group which isnt possible for me! I dont have any crystalls that i could spend to transfer my account back and also the Support said that the can’t do anything to transfer me for free to any european server of THEIR choice.

Now i am very sad and dissapointed and the only chance i see, is to delete my whole account (loosing any item and every of my 4 characters) and create a new one. So i could select a proper european server and finally find some groups to play with.
You can see that i would do anything to play again – even recreate my whole account and loose everything….

But how can i do this?

Regards,
Nico

That won’t work. The account stays. But if you delete your characters and put your valuables in the bank, you might change servers for free. Although that is bad (because of the deleted characters), it is not as bad as what you were planning to do.

There have been several reports of players on this forum, who have changed the servers that way and kept their bank at the same time.
Only the things connected with a guild will be lost, because that is server bound.

GM:
You can delete all the characters on the account and then change servers for free. The transfer costs only kick in for accounts with characters on them.

That’s it. Only the soulbound items would be lost, because you cannot get it to wear on other characters.

This should work as described, except do note that it’s true that Soulbound items will be lost.

One thing people are forgetting – if you delete your characters, you are also deleting the bank. So, anything you had put into the bank, including coin, would be lost when the characters are deleted.

You can just save up some gold and transfer that to jems to buy a world transfer

Bank is account wide, and isn’t tied to any of the characters… Try looking into other threads, there are multiple statements about it.

You should have read the entire thread. I referred to players who have done so already and who have kept their bank.
Your statement is wrong!

You retain the back, because it is account-bound and not character- or soul-bound.
