You might recall that City of Heroes recently offered players the chance to transfer servers for free through January. Due to the popularity of the offer, the developers have decided to extend the offer and allow players to transfer between servers for free until February 28th, 2010. So log on and take the opportunity to transfer between multiple servers and sample the variety of different communities the game has to offer. Just make sure you know the limits and how long it might take to get your character moved and set up on the new server of your choice.
Good news! Due to popular demand, free Character Server Transfers have been extended until February 28th (at 11:59 p.m. PST / 2:59 a.m. EST)!
We know a lot of you have been using the service to hop between servers to participate in in-game events, meet up with friends, or just explore and experience new communities. We also know that you've been asking for the opportunity to continue doing it! So, consider your wish granted for another month.
For those of you who haven't fully taken advantage of this limited time offer, here are a few things you should bear in mind before initiating a character transfer to a different server:
Transfers are not available between North American and European servers. You will be able to complete up to 6 transfers a week (7-day period) per account. Not all possessions will transfer over with your character so be sure to read the corresponding Knowledge Base article before you decide to transfer a character. Super-group affiliation, Prestige and access to your Supergroup base items will be lost. You may lose your character's name when transferring from a server.We hope you keep transferring away and enjoying yourself!
