Good news! Due to popular demand, free Character Server Transfers have been extended until February 28th (at 11:59 p.m. PST / 2:59 a.m. EST / 11:59 p.m. GMT / 00:59 Central European Time)!

We know a lot of you have been using the service to hop between servers to participate in in-game events, meet up with friends, or just explore and experience new communities. We also know that you've been asking for the opportunity to continue doing it! So, consider your wish granted for another month.

For those of you who haven't fully taken advantage of this limited time offer, here are a few things you should bear in mind before initiating a character transfer to a different server:

  • Transfers are not available between North American and European servers.
  • You will be able to complete up to 6 transfers a week (7-day period) per account.
  • Not all possessions will transfer over with your character so be sure to read the corresponding Knowledge Base article (US or UK) before you decide to transfer a character.
  • Super-group affiliation, Prestige and access to your Supergroup base items will be lost.
  • You may lose your character's name when transferring from a server.

We hope you keep transferring away and enjoying yourself!

omg omg omg, thank you! I was rushing to get some of my toons prepped for transfers. This saves me and my wife both a lot of headaches.


If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

Though I've personally exhausted my use of this feature for now, this is wonderful news. Thanks!


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

City of Heroes IS dying, and this is proof! They want everybody to move over to Freedom so they can kill the low population servers! DOOOOOOOOM!!!

*ahem*

In all seriousness, I think this is cool. Even though I don't intend to use it at all, I'm sure a lot of people are flipping out over this. =P

Arc ID: 373341 - To Save a Hero

I'll just go ahead and request that this is kept up indefinitely. It's very nice being able to move a character over to participate in an event, then move it back to home server.

I think that this is a great offer.

I don't know if I'll move anymore characters. Only really moved one that bounced around a couple of times.

I ended up buying some slots for Xmas. So I still have a 3 slots left and 1 open on Virtue.
Though it is tempting, I don't think I'll be using the slots to make room on other servers or the one on Virtue in order to move 4 of my characters off of Freedom even though I rarely to there to play any more. It would be abandoning the others that would be left there.

If moving a character moved the slot with it, I would be tempted to move all my characters off of Freedom. Too bad I couldn't move the sg along with them too.

Although I can't really use this feature much... it is a great thing to have available a little longer. I have loved being able to rename some of my characters with it.

That image looks pretty silly with the villain background.

So, which server being down for five minutes is responsible for this extension?

Well fail on you then >_>

I didn't make the original (sadly) and I can't get the damn thing to work with a transparent background. It just comes up white, which look even worse.

So, at least 50% of people get it

So in CoH we're continuing to get for free a feature we expected to pay for, whereas in a Certain Other game they're having to pay for a feature they expected to get for free.

This is great news. I have been moving characters around here and there, but not I don't have to rush today.

They even have different servers? o.0

Then again, i can choose between empty, deserted, very empty en basicly empty. My my my, i'm overwhelmed with joy of the free choice of transfering!

Serious note, i rather pay for a transfer and get what i want, then some free stuff that dont bring me any good anyway.
