Last time they did it, it was for X number of weeks (3 weeks?) and something like 7 per week - or rather (again, IIRC) the transfers would refresh after a week.
I'm sure they'll give more details. (Not really planning on moving anyone, I don't think. Might pull a Dom I have off of Freedom.)
From the announcement, though, it just looks like "We're not charging for them that week."
Missed this announcement - going to have to find it.
Anyway - server transfers -
Last time this happened, they removed the ability to purchase server transfer. A token system took it's place, 6 or 7 tokens were given to each account. 7 days after each token is used up, it is replenished/refreshed/returned. So it is a limited unlimited transfer setup.

I may be wrong but if I recall they first offered it for the month of Jan, for 6 characters per week, and extended it thru Feb or at least most of it. |

I've been thinking about shuffling my villains around so I can keep them as bad guys but free up their names for reuse as new Praetorian characters.
Also, there are no free renamed other than puposely moving a character to a server where their name is taken ( and thus getting a free rename ) the global remand would be just for your chat handle.

Well limited in the sense that they didn't want the system to crash from being swamped with too many transfers at once and permanently losing the characters.|

I think the process goes as follows,
1. They copy the character for transfer.
2. They delete the character off of the old server.
3. They complete the transfer to the new server.
I think it's done this way to prevent any exploit occurring that would give players duplicates of the same character. People would happily pay $10. to duplicate all the Inf, Recipes, IO Salvage, and IO's on a character, then strip them of that wealth and pay to duplicate the character again.
We are getting Free Server Transfers? Nice. I can bring my Thugs/FF Generic Thug 17 back from her exile on Freedom.
Enjoy your day please.

Yeah, this is my plan, which is why I was inquiring about the amount of transfers provided. Renaming my character through this method would require two transfers.|

I saw the announcement on the CoH Facebook page on on the OCR Twitter. I think it might be up on the main page now.

I may be too late for this question but here goes. When is (or was) the free server transfers starting and how long are they going for?

With the recently announced 'Free Server Transfer Period' for I18 I'm hoping to shuffle some characters around. I haven't been active during one of these FSTPs so I'm not sure how they work.
- Do you basically have an unlimited amount of server transfers or is it somehow limited to one per character?
- During this period, do they normally offer free Rename Tokens as well or JUST free global chat renames?
I'm planning on using the server transfers to rename some characters, but it'd be more hassle-free if rename tokens were provided.
Anyone know?
