Guild Wars 2

When transferring servers, if you delete your characters then transfer do you lose all of your account bound items? Gems, bank upgrades, bag upgrades, items deposited into your bank like equipment and ingredients? Thanks for the help.

anything in the bank, no (unless it’s character-bound)
anything on your character, yes (like a bag upgrade)

You will still be able to use any account-bound items you left in your bank.

If you have character-bound gear, it is possible in most cases to transmute to something else that would be account-bound. However, that’s only worth doing for very expensive items.

So bank upgrades will transfer even without characters along with gems that are still on the account?

If it ok that I leave some feedback here, I really do disagree with the addition of paid server transfers. There are plenty of MMO’s that do not charge them when compared to MMO’s that do. No argument necessary, just some feedback for the Anet crew.

No, the upgrades do not transfer from server to server.

Correct.

Seems to me you are contradicting yourself. The original person you replied to said bank upgrades transfer (which sounds right to me, as the bank is an account resource like gems) but not bag upgrades.

The second person you said was correct was saying (as it read) that the extra BANK slots do not “transfer”.

So bags are no transfer (those are part of the character you would delete, but the bank slots would be yes for “transfering”, correct?

Some of the games I’ve seen info for on micro transactions would charge a fee similar to Anet’s… for a naked character. Naked + money cost more, and for not losing anything cost even more.

I even know of a game at launch that you could not choose which sever your newly created character would end up on (talk about a pain meeting up with friends) unless you had a “pass” (costing a good amount of in-game money) sent from the world you wanted into – and that just let you create a new character.

@Rajani…I agree, it is confusing.

Ok, Your personal bank and bag upgrades will transfer with you along with all your bank items.

Only guild upgrades do not carry over.

I know this cause I’ve transferred before.

My apologies if I caused any confusion:

• Guild bank upgrades do not transfer; they are specific to the server.
• Personal bank (and any upgrades) can be used from anywhere; they have nothing to do with your server.
