• Will our mailboxes be left intact? Like a lot of other poeple I have stuff that’s sitting in there so it doesn’t take up limited warehouse space.
  I am still waiting 100% confirmation. The 99.99% confirmation is yes your mail will be intact but I want to make 100% sure for you. I passed this up the chain so once we get the 100% confirmation we can add this to the FAQ. [Trine]
• You will not be able to transfer a character from North American servers to European servers or vice versa. [Trine]
• You will not be able to switch your Elyos into being an Asmodian or vice versa. Your character must stay the same race it was created as. [Trine]
• Another concern I’ve seen so far is that our unlimited character transfers will actually unbalance the servers after the merge. We’re not too worried about this happening for a few reasons. First and foremost, we’re only able to do one mass transfer per week; these transfers will take place during server maintenance. Additionally, we will be carefully monitoring transfers before and after execution each and every week, and if need be, we will adjust transfer limitations to preserve race balance. [Tamat]
• While you can transfer freely for that period of time, it isn’t as simple as transferring from one server one day and another server another day.

  The transfer process is a bit more complicated than you think. You will not be able to transfer a character to a server that will create a race restriction conflict. Additionally the transfers will occur only during weekly server downtimes.

  For example: It is Sunday night and you have an Elyos on New Vaizel and you wish to move your Asmodian to New Vaizel. You will first have to transfer the Elyos off New Vaizel and onto another server that will not create a race conflict. You will have to wait for the weekly maintenance to occur and the transfer to happen.

  Once the Elyos has been transferred off New Vaizel then you put in a transfer request to move your Asmodian to New Vaizel. This transfer will wait until the next week’s server downtime and the transfer occurs. [Trine]

Aion team has announced today that on July 8, Aion character transfer service will be opening for all Daevas.

On July 8, our character transfer service will be opening for all Daevas. To thank you for waiting patiently for this service, and to help make our server merge a much more enjoyable experience for everyone involved, we’ve decided to give our players unlimited free character transfers until August 18. During this period, you are welcome to transfer as many characters as you desire. After the free period is over, character transfers will be available for monetary fee.

The server merges will happen on Wednesday, July 7 2010. Everything on your characters will transfer with you, including items, equipment and Kinah. Items in the Legion warehouse will be transferred with the Legion Brigade General to his/her new server. Items you have on the broker will be transferred to the broker on your new server. Your legion will stay formed through the Legion Brigade General. All characters in the legion will remain so on the new server. Characters will keep their AP points. All Abyss Fortresses’ ownerships will be reset during the merge.

Q: What happens to my Elyos character if I already have an Asmodian on the new server (or vice versa)?
A: After the merge, we will be having a period of time where both Asmodian and Elyos characters on a single account are playable on the same server. This is being done to ensure all players can find the appropriate homes for their characters. We will be offering free unlimited transfers for characters from July 8th through August 18th and encourage all players to make use of this service to get their characters settled into the right server homes. At a date in the future, we will be turning race restriction back on and you will no longer be able to play both races on one server. At this point, any accounts that have a race conflict on a server will be asked to choose a playable race for that server, and the opposing race (not chosen) will be unplayable until they are transferred to a non-race conflicting server.

Q: What happens to my account warehouse if I have opposing races merged onto the same server?
If you have both races on a single server after the merge; each race will have separate account warehouses.

Q: What will happen to my abyss rank?
A: Abyss Ranks will be recalculated 24 hours after the server merges happen, taking into account a character’s current AP on the new, merged server. This means that if you were of Army Governor rank on your old server, but merged with another server whose Army Governor was higher in AP than you, you will no longer be an Army Governor.
