As we told you a few days ago, Server transfers for APAC players is upon us. Today is the day that players from that region of earth can transfer there characters to a US server for free. Bioware community manager Eric Musco dropped by the forums to give us all the particulars.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that your free transfers are now open! In order to transfer your character, follow these steps:
Go to your “My Account” page by clicking on your username in the top right corner of SWTOR.com
On the left hand side, scroll down to Character Transfer
Once there, select your current APAC server and then the character you wish to transfer
Now select your destination server (where you want to move your character to)
Press the transfer button
One thing to keep in mind is that any characters which you do not transfer will be moved as a part of the APAC server consolidations as follows:
Dalborra -> The Harbinger
Master Dar’Nala -> The Bastion
Gav Daragon -> Bergeren Colony
Server consolidations will happen in approximately 60 days, more info to follow. Thanks!-eric
Here are some more Server Transfer Information:
Hey folks,
I know there have been quite a few questions around paid character transfers so I spent some time rounding up the answers to the more heavily asked ones and here they are! If there are any that I missed please feel free to post them in this thread and I will see what I can find out.
How much do transfers cost?
Paid character transfers cost 1800 Cartel Coins per character. The purchase must be made using Cartel Coins.How do I transfer a character?
Once the service is live in 2.2, you will be able to go to your account page here on swtor.com and transfer from there.What happens if there is a name collision?
If your character name is already taken by another player on your new server, you will need to rename your character. Your character will be “flagged” for a rename once you login.Will my Legacy, Achievements, and Collections all transfer with my character?
Yes! All of your Legacy unlocks, Achievements earned, and triggered Collections will be waiting for you.What happens if I have a Legacy on both my source and destination servers?
Whichever Legacy is of a higher level will take precedence and become your new Legacy. This has no affect on unlocks, the unlocks from both Legacies will combine. For example: You are transferring a character from the Bastion to the Harbinger. The character you are transferring from the Bastion is in a level 27 Legacy. Currently on Harbinger you have a level 13 Legacy. After the transfer you will now have a level 27 Legacy on Harbinger which combines the unlocks from both servers.Is there a way to transfer a guild?
There is currently no method in place to transfer an entire guild at one time. Each person must transfer their characters individually and recreate their guild on the new server.I hope that clears some things up! Let me know if there are any major questions still pending that I missed.
