Important Character Transfer Information
We’ve recently received a lot of questions from our players regarding how character transfers work. Please note the following if you’re having characters transferred:
* If your character’s name is already in use by another character, you will be able to select a new name for your character.
o To update your character's name, simply type the following command, replacing "newname" with the name you want: /rename newname
* Only items in a character’s personal inventory, personal bank, and equipped items will transfer. The following items will not transfer:
o Auctions or unclaimed auction winnings
o Items in a reincarnation cache
o Mail or items attached to mail
o Unclaimed quest end rewards
o Items in the Buyback vendor window
* Guilds, friends lists, and ignore lists will not copy over.
* Note that your character’s favor amounts will transfer, but server rewards (e.g. drow, favored soul, 32 point build) do not transfer. You can unlock those favor rewards via the following methods:
o Earning the favor with a new character
o A character who has the proper favor amount, but who has not spoken with Nyx previously
o Purchase of the account-wide versions in the DDO Store
We hope these tips will help you to prepare your character prior to a transfer. Thanks for your interest, and we’ll see you in game!
NOTE: At this time, transfers onto Cannith, Orien, and Ghallanda are still unavailable.
