<h3>Performing the Transfer</h3>
Prepare carefully, make sure you are not overweight, perhaps place heavy items in your bank box. Make sure everything you want to take with you has been packed and nothing left in a house's secures. Ensure that pack animals have been commanded to follow you. Pack animals obeying the "stay" command may be left behind. If you intended to take any gold with you ensure it is in the character's transfer account.
Once you started the transfer dialog you can stop at any time until you hit that last confirmation "Transfer me!" but there will be a delay before you can re-start.
Double clicking the token will cause you to be frozen, hidden, squelched and invulnerable to attack.
Everything, including your character's clothing, will be moved into a special "transfer crate". Double check all your boxes, pack animals and stabled pets in the crate, there is still time to stop if you find there's something missing.
When absolutely sure you have everything, choose your destination shard (if the shard is unavailable for any reason you will have to wait).
Finally click on the button 'Transfer me!'
The character will be logged out and you will not be able to log into either your destination shard or your original shard until the transfer has completed, approximately 30 minutes (All unaffected shards will be available).
When the transfer is complete you will again be able to log in. The transferred character will appear on the character selection screen of the new shard and be gone from the list of the old shard.
<h3>Unpacking</h3>
Logging into your new shard, your packing crate will open for you to unpack. Two boxes are already unpacked for you, your bank and stable. Use the context menus (right click) on the remaining containers and pets and select 'unpack container' or 'unpack pet'.
Your transfer crate must be emptied within 7 Days or anything you had in the crate will be lost. |
