Maybe the Devs are trying to consolidate all the PvPers onto one server (freedom) and intend to lock freedom out of Server Transfers after the holidays and chuck the Server into a convenient blaze?

Well, save the being PO'ed for another day. Customer Support can restore any character that "disappeared" within the last six months, even if you consciously delete it. I once deleted a couple of characters from a Live server thinking I had logged into the Training Room (brain fart) and they were restored by the next day.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
Leandro, I am glad they did that for you. I have to admit I would not have been surprised if they did not.

As far as I know, that's only done on the American servers - if you delete an avatar on the Euro ones, it's gone for good.

I found her! Manhattan Bridge somehow wound up on victory instead of virtue. Not sure how that happened, since I had virtue selected as her transfer server. But I used another token to get her moved over to virtue, and we're happy now

Oh, he might claim credit, but noo... this just isn't his style.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
I'm already whizzing off people on Victory... so I might hold off on bringing toons there wholesale, lol.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
So now we got free transfers within 1 continent, can we at least get paid EU-NA/NA-EU transfers?
It got so little use to transfer between empty, nearly empty, deserted and very empy servers.

so, i read through all 7 pages and hadnt gotten an answer as to when they are renewed so i decided to PM Avatea to get to the bottom of this mystery.
i was told in the reply that they will be renewed 7 days from the day you used the first transfer. so i used my first transfer yesterday (which was wednesday) and will get 6 new ones on next wednesday.

That's what I get for having a birthday just enough days before Christmas to keep from having the two lumped together, I suppose.
Edit: Also like Ohsirus, I have a few more characters I intend to move with the free transfers ... as soon as the charges wear off my 30-day purchase limit and I can buy more slots!

This is the single best thing to happen to me in game.
I made my home on victory and infinity and did not realize they were east coast servers. Due to connection issues play on the east coast servers was so bad i stopped playing for 4 months and let one of my accounts expire (Red towers on netgraph, up to 5 seconds delay from using a power to it animating, rubber banding, yet west coast play was fine)
I didn't want to start again from scratch and i didn't want to plays hundreds of dollars to transfer my toons.
Now i will be able to half my guys on west coast and half on east coast for free. I will now actually play the game again for the first time in months.
Thank you paragon studios and NC Soft, at the very least your gift has got two account renewals from me

Thanks. This is what I was looking for.

How do I use a free transfer? In game the icon still says buy server transfer. I've never done this before. D:

Apparently before the final confirmation is an option to use the token - if you are paranoid about accidentally spending cash, I recommend going into your plaync.com master account, and removing the card on file first.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Thanks for this! I was able to convince someone to come back and change to my server so we could play together!
This was appreciated and used, thanks !!
Do we get to keep any tokens that are leftover after the free transfer period is done?
