Character Transfers 6/12/2012

This is the information as I know it.

The facts:
Transfers start June 12th.

• For now, they are free.
• Transfers will be issued from a designated origin server to a designated destination server. We don’t have access to this designated server list yet. Multiple origin servers may be issued to one destination server.
• Transfers won’t happen all at once. Transfers will be handled in server-based waves, and will take some time. Designated server lists may not be finalized until the servers are available for transfer, and may change during the transfer period.
• Server types will remain consistent for current transfers. There won’t, for example, be a way to transfer from PvE to PvP.
• Transfers may take a couple hours to complete. Transfer queues may pop up.
• Legacy levels and perks will transfer with players. Legacy names will have be chosen again, and players will only keep their name if it is not taken on the destination server.
• Guild transfers aren’t available– guild members will have to transfer separately, remake the guild, then contact BioWare customer service for assistance in transferring the guild bank.
• In the future, transfers may become available between all servers, but with a fee. The ability to consolidate multiple characters might also be possible in the future.
