New Info on Shae Vizla Server Transfers! Credit Limits and Free Transfer Eligibility (Updated)

Keith Kanneg drops by Jackie’s server transfer post today to lay out some provisions on how transferring to Shae Vizla is soon going to work! The main takeaways that differ from a regular transfer are:

You may only bring 2 million credits max with you. This is certainly to limit the amount of inflated currency on the older servers that’s being introduced to Vizla’s fresh economy.
Free transfers to those who’ve been subscribed since Shae Vizla’s gone live (90 days consecutively, at least). Seems fair, as APAC players didn’t really have a non-laggy choice of home before this!
Free transfer offers last for 30 days, half-off for 90, and credit/level limitations stay in place for all future transfers. Looks like players changing their server from now on are doing it without their credits! These limits are subject to change in the future of course, but it will be interesting to see if there’s a noticeable impact on the amount of RMT evidence the average player sees on some servers going forward.

Hi folks!

I’m back to give you more details on the character transfers to the Shae Vizla server. For this post, my aim is to confirm additional details and answer some questions we have seen floating around.

Starting with the transfer requirements to Shae Vizla:

Characters will be required to have 2 million or less credits.
If you try to transfer a character that has more than that amount, you will see an error message.
The character level minimum is 20.

For the first 30 days after transfers open, there will be 16 free transfers available to Subscribers who meet the following criteria:

Are a current Subscriber
Have been a Subscriber since APAC launch (November 17, 2023) for at least 90 consecutive days.

For the first 90 days after transfers open, all Subscribers will receive a 50% discount (500 CC off) on transfers to the Shae Vizla server.

This discount will be applied for Subscribers who use up their free transfers.

We also wanted to clarify additional info for transfers outside what is detailed above:

Paid transfers will become available when we open transfers to Shae Vizla.
These will still cost 1000CC per transfer for non-subscribers. This will be the default price after the promotion period ends.
The credit and character level requirements detailed above will still apply to these transfers and all future transfers.
Requirements may be adjusted in the future.

We also wanted to confirm that character transfers will open with Game Update 7.4.1’s launch. All of the changes above need to be tied to an update hence why the transfers are specifically connected to 7.4.1. We will be sharing more details of 7.4.1’s release date on the livestream (I’ll be popping in myself!), so players know what to expect and roughly when.

Thanks all!

-If anyone’s transferring off Star Forge and needs to dump some credits to get down to 2 million, Zahk may have a few ideas on where you could send em. ;)

UPDATE:

Hi folks,

We saw a lot of feedback come in from the weekend specifically around credits and the 90 consecutive day Subscriber limit since APAC launch for free transfers. We had some additional conversations based on what we’ve seen on the forums and other platforms, and will be making the following adjustments.

The credit limit will now be 15 million per character.
To qualify for the 16 free transfers to Shae Vizla, players must be a current Subscriber and have been an active Subscriber since January 2, 2024.

Appreciate all of your comments. We’ll continue to keep an eye on feedback that comes in.

Thanks!
-Keith
