Transfer between accounts

Hi all.

Here's a question I think I know the answer to, but I'll ask to confirm.

Can I switch characters between 2 of my accounts? I don't have a 2nd account, but was thinking about it and I couldn't find anything on these forums or on ParagonWiki concerning that.

I'm guessing "no" - good guess?

No, there's no way to transfer a character from one account to another and very likely never will be as it would be a MASSIVE problem with the gold/PL sellers.

Very good guess. Characters are locked into the account.

*doh!* Call Me Awesome got here first. You are indeed awesome.

Ah, that makes sense about the gold/PL sellers. To clarify, I wanted to dual-box for RP reasons and didn't feel like rerolling and levelling one of the characters on a new account.

Also, mechanics-wise, they would have made a good duo - a 50 dark x3 defender and 50 SS/WP/Soul Brute.

Anyway, thanks for the quick replies and I think I'll save my coin and keep my one account.

Does that argument really make sense for two game accounts that are both under the same master account though?

Possibly not, but I doubt it would be worthwhile to devote the time putting that in so that the small percentage of players with multiple accounts can transfer. Come to think of it you'd still have the issue with PL sellers; just roll a new alt on the new 2nd account and pay to have it PL'd, then transfer the character to your main account. If there's no characters of value on the 2nd account you're not risking a lot allowing the nefarious PL seller access... other than letting them steal your CC info when you pay them that is.

It really would be opening a can of worms that's probably best left closed, even though I would like to transfer a character to my 2nd account personally. There's just too much room for abuse.
