Free Character Server Transfers for the Double XP and Reactivation Weekend!
The free character server transfer service has been a great success since we made it available to all our players back in December and there is no doubt that many of you have benefitted from it, whether to find a new home server or simply to do a little Spring cleaning amongst your hordes of “alts”!
We extended it once already until the end of February, allowing many more Heroes and Villains to server-hop and make new friends. Well, with the Double XP and Reactivation Weekend only a week away, there was no reason why we shouldn’t extend it once more for everybody’s enjoyment!
The free character server transfer service has therefore been extended by a week and will end with the Double XP and Reactivation Weekend on Sunday, March 7th at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time ( 2:59 a.m. Eastern Time / 11:59 p.m. GMT / 0:59 Central European Time).
If you thought you were going to have to carefully plan your last few transfers for the Double XP and Reactivation Weekend, we’re making it a whole load easier for you!
Happy Server-Hopping-Double-XP-Reactivation Weekend!
