Free Server Transfer Question ????

I am contemplating doing this with my villains- move several of my villains over to freedom, but keep my 50 on virtue. Make a throwaway villain, get the 50 to give them some money and send them over, to feed the characters I care about.

The really obvious, simple answer occurred to me shortly after the post you quoted. Not sure why it took that long, I'm usually smarter than that.

Usually it's Justice, although it can move up and down a bit depending on the time of day. I've seen it as low as 6th and as high as 2nd in order of load status but I really don't check that often.
Since Justice is the unofficial Aussie server, Justice tends to peak in population a bit later than the other servers and seem groggier in the late afternoons (if you are in EST/MST/PST time zones) than other servers.

I saw Infinity ranked at number 6 the other day. To be fair, though, it was before lunch time on a weekday. The rankings get all squirrely when there are very few players on.

So with the rename tokens if the name is taken, does this mean we can sortof get free renames?
Like if I've got Captain Amazingpants on Champion and I want to rename him Captain Superpants, if I make some trash character called Captain Amazingpants on Protector or whatever, when I try to move Amazingpants over it'll give me a rename, right?
So unless Captain Superpants is taken on Champion, I can then move the now renamed character back and tada, free renamed character on original server?
Anyone know if this works?

Works like a charm (just tried it). in the character list of the server you transferred to in order to change the name, the character will initially be named [name]1. But when you enter the city with it, you will be given a rename token/prompt in-game. After changing it, you can then transfer it back. (although, you may want to make sure the changed name is available on both servers first...)|

Like the avatar, by the way.

Yes, although you will have to ensure that the new name that you desire is free on both servers that way.|

Another way is to transfer your character over, then create a new toon on the old server with the name of the old toon you just bounced out.
Then when you bring the old toon back you will get your rename token and you only have to worry about the new name you want being available on your target server.
This presumes that creating the new toon to block out the old name leaves you with 1 free slot to come back to.

I was thinking this is a good time to mule over expensive salvage and crafted enhancements that's needed by characters on one server from another. Using disposable characters, of course.
