Hello everyone!

 

In addition to what DbDBear linked above, we have some new information that came out yesterday regarding the upcoming transfer system. Posted to the Developer Tracker is Stephen Reid's update to APAC transfers, here:

 

 

Hey everyone, I'm pleased to announce that the manual APAC character transfer process is now complete. Many, many thousands of eligible characters were transferred, allowing many more players in the Asia-Pacific region access to servers with lower latency. To all of you with transferred characters, we hope you enjoy your new 'home'.

 

This marks the end of our first stage of character transfers. Now our focus turns to a more robust, automated and larger scale character transfer service, which is currently in active development within the studio. More details were given in an answer in today's Community Q&A, but I'll quote Dallas Dickinson here:

 

"We will be rolling out our Character Transfer Service in early summer. First we'll have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice."

 

The quote Stephen is referring to is from this week's Community Q&A, which is posted on Fridays to the Community Blog. If you have a question you'd like to submit, each week we have a question thread just for that!

 

Hope this helps!
