In an announcement that I’m sure will make many lonely players happy, having suffered on a particular server away from their friends who are on the new server, their prayers and letters have been answered. Starting April 26th after 4am PDT (7am EDT), they will be able to transfer their characters to the server of their choice for free, the only limitation being that the Starsider characters can be transferred out, but not into the Starsider server. Once you have completed the transfer for free, you must leave that character on that server for at least 90 days before trying another one.
And there are some simple limitations, but we doubt that these will affect very many who currently play. For one, the account has to be in good standing and not behind in payment or suspended. The character itself must be at least 90 days old on the current server. Oh and one more thing. When you transfer it, your in game personality must be on one of the ten original ground worlds, which include Tatooine, Correlia, Dantooine,Yavin 4, Rori, Talus, Naboo, Lok, Endor and Dathomir. If they are not, the transfer cannot take place.
If your character qualifies, you will be notified upon logging into the Star Wars Galaxy server. It will then give you a list of servers to choose from, but you don’t have to make up your mind right then, you can setup a reminder, or you can get back to that screen by entering /freects while playing if you can do the transfer. A series of screens will then walk you through the process, including agreeing to the guidelines.
Since the game checks for eligibility, you will not be able to move multiple characters in one shot, but will need to log in for each one.
