A '''Server Transfer''' is the process of transferring (moving) a character from one server (the source server) to another (the target server); eg, moving a character from the Reunion server to the Everlasting server. This is done on the character selection screen at login; the button is at the top left. You receive five server transfers every three days, to a maximum of five.

A Server Transfer is the process of transferring (moving) a character from one server (the source server) to another (the target server); eg, moving a character from the Reunion server to the Everlasting server. This is done on the character selection screen at login; the button is at the top left. You receive five server transfers every three days, to a maximum of five.

Beware: if the last member of a supergroup is transferred to another server, the supergroup will be irrevocably deleted. With a thousand character slots per server, it is best to create an alt and use "/altinvite" to ensure a supergroup does not vanish.

If the transfer fails, it is recommended to _not_ immediately try again; subsequent attempts will usually just cost more tokens that cannot be refunded by staff. Instead, it is best to wait a day; or better yet, until a server reboot. These are normally done on Tuesdays.
