In recent months we have been working to investigate and resolve issues surrounding character transfers to several game worlds, and we are happy to say that we have resolved these issues! We want to give players who have been waiting to transfer to Orien and Sarlona the opportunity to do so in the coming weeks.

Starting after our weekly maintenance on Wednesday, February 8th, character transfers to Orien and Sarlona ONLY will be free through February 28th. Free transfers to Orien and Sarlona will remain available until we bring the game worlds down for weekly maintenance on March 1st.

Of Important Note:


  • Please note that the following things do NOT transfer with you to your destination world:
    • Your Friends list
    • Your /Ignore list
    • Your Guild name, level, airship, amenities, membership ranks, or other guild-related benefits. You will appear in the new world guildless.
    • Items in your Reincarnation Cache
    • Items bid on or posted to the Auction Houses
    • In-game mail
    • Shared Account Bank and Crafting Storage items
    • Your Astral Shard balance
    • Your Creature Companion Stable
    • Your Mount Stable


  • You cannot be the Leader of a Guild and transfer your character from one world to another. If necessary, please promote a successor or other guild member to Leader, or disband your guild, prior to undergoing a character transfer from one live game world to another. Guild leaders will not display in the Character Transfer UI.
  • You cannot be logged into the game world while undergoing a character transfer. If you are, you will be kicked from the game world and receive an erroneous “ban” message. You aren’t banned.
  • It is possible to transfer back to your original game world after transferring to a different world, but your original guild, airship, True Reincarnation cache, and in-game mail is not preserved.
  • If your name is being used on the world you are transferring to, your name will be appended with a -1 and you will be granted a one-time free rename credit. While logged into the character you wish to change the name of, type /changename (new name) into the chat panel to change your name.


Thank you!
