Free Character Transfer now available

After the server merge on EU this week, the free character transfer option is now available on the account page. Every character is eligible for one free transfer and this offer is valid for one month starting yesterday. This transfer is free of charge and can be used once per character. This offer is also valid for characters from servers that were not merged (Mitra, Asgard and Rage). In the case of server Rage the offer is valid only to transfer a character AWAY from Rage but not TO Rage as ‘Blood and Glory’ ruleset servers have the "no transfer" policy.

Check out the Server Merge FAQ for more details and information about the character transfer option.


The one free day to compensate for the server merge downtime has also already been added to every active EU Premium account yesterday.
