Server Transfers - A Nice Opportunity

So I recently decided to move two more of my long term characters from the Victory Server over to Virtue (and I also wanted to rename them, so before transferring them over I created ashcan toons to occupy those names so my transferred toons would be eligible for a free rename as well.)

One of my characters I decided to strip entirely of her lore, her looks, and her name - and I got to admit - it's refreshing to take a level 39 toon and get totally "start over" in terms of their story.

Free? I thought they were half-price.

If you transfer a toon to a server with a name that already exists on that server, you get a free rename token for the transferred toon.

Example.

SuperHero on Victory moves to Virtue.

Virtue already has a toon named SuperHero.

Victory's SuperHero will be asked to rename themselves after the transfer.

So, if you're moving a toon, and don't like its name anymore, you create a dummy toon on the recipient server with the same name, and boom - free rename token.

Yea, that's unlikely to happen.

Name conflicts are pretty common.

And I'm sure they're well aware that people do that.
