Character Transfer Details, Destination Shards
Free character and guild transfers will be available in Rift with the launch of Update 1.3 tomorrow, June 22. In preparation, Trion Worlds has released some details on the feature, as well as the allowed destination shards! Here are the important points you should know straight from Trion:
- For most shards, characters must be level 15 or higher and have no mail or auctions to transfer. There is no level limit on trial shards.
- You can transfer FROM any shard.
- If you are a guild leader, you will have the option to transfer your guild with you. (Guild members won't automatically transfer with you.) If you do, the folks you leave behind will be notified where the guild went so they can re-join the guild on the new shard. Characters who transfer to the new shard will automatically be re-joined to their guild at the recruit level.
- Available destination shards will be determined by a combination of total population and current per-faction population. So you’ll see some shards available to transfer as a Defiant that you won’t see on a Guardian; and shards you’ll be able to transfer a Guardian to that you can’t transfer a Defiant to; and there will be lots of shards that any character can transfer to.
- Some shards will be flagged as “Trial” shards. These shards are selected for use in future trial program events, such that we don't end up with large blasts of trial users taking up subscribers' slots, forcing subscribers to queue, as has happened in the past. Non-trial players will not be able to create characters on these shards and subscribers will be notified that they’re on a trial shard when they log in. Characters on Trial servers will be able to transfer off at any level!
Be sure to check out our character transfer guide in preparation for the launch of Update 1.3. Also, browse through the allowed destination shards after the jump and pick your new home! You can even choose many homes, since you can move for free every seven days.
