The free opening offer retains the same-faction and Advanced Access restrictions. Choose an eligible destination before planning a move.
Choose a compatible destination and read the confirmation before moving.
- Identify your current server
Write down your region, faction and whether it is an Early Access server.
- Check a destination
Match the destination server name, faction and access pool with your group.
- Recheck at opening
Read the current notice and confirmation screen before starting a move.
Choose a destination before the opening
Agree on the exact region, faction and server name with your group using the server list. Your opposing-faction partner is a PvP matchup, not a same-faction transfer destination.
For shared open-world play, aim for the same home server. Dungeons and other instances support cross-server play, so you can group for those without moving your character.
Prepare the information you will need
- Record the character’s current region, faction and exact server name.
- Record the destination your group agreed on, including its faction and access pool.
- Reopen the transfer announcement and look for a later revision or a new eligibility notice.
- Keep a note of the reason for moving: playing on the same home server, joining an organization, or another specific need.
- At opening, read the actual destination selector and confirmation before committing.
Choose a destination offered in the transfer selector. If the character list is unexpected, check the account and client identity containing the character you want to move.
Before confirming a transfer
Before confirming, read the transfer conditions for your character: destination eligibility, price, name conflicts, cooldown and how guild membership, mail and Market listings are handled.
What to check when transfers open
At opening, check the service announcements and maintenance information. Wait until the transfer service is available for your character.
Check the destination and final charge on the confirmation screen before accepting. After the move, log in to the destination and check that you selected the intended character.
