Yeah yeah, this is probably old news but Ive been on hiatus for the past few months since the christmas event. I keep a close eye on my emails so Im a bit surprised this went into effect without any sort of notice. I noticed they sent out things for events and stuff but not for this. I wish they would have sent an email stating this because if they had I would of immediately logged in and switched back to my native server fort aspenwood.

Im stuck on a laggy european server and Im in the USA. I went to play with a friend that day, and I want to play the game again but its gonna cost me at least $30 for a transfer now. If they can just throw me a bone here that would be awesome pretty please, Ill buy gems friday to help support the game but I really want to play now

You can transfer for free if you delete all character of your account.

I remember that Gaile Gray said you save your stuff in your bank and delete your chararacters and you won’t loose your stuff then transfer server and you will not loose anything from the bank. But I will confirm it. I will edit this later.

Edit:

Okay i have asked support and they have answered that everything in bank WILL stay. But in guild bank it wont.

Its nice to know my items wont be deleted, BUT, its not just that easy for me to delete my main and expect to level him all over again. Thatll just kill any chance of me wanting to play again. This is just a really sucky situation for me.

Best thing to do is try and earn gold to exchange for gems to pay for a transfer.

It’s a kitten conspiracy. Kittens gonna be kittens. All is vain!

I agree. World transfers were free for a limited time (which actually extended several months). However, we announced that a transfer fee would be implemented several weeks before the gem fee was put in place. Our hope was that folks who wanted to move would do so in those intervening weeks.

The gems are something that you can earn in the game, so that may be the way to go.
