Yes, the trans-Atlantic server transfers should work now, and yes, it's super annoying that they don't. But you'll only have yourself to blame if you don't take advantage of the sale and buy some transfer tokens while they're discounted!

So, when I try to buy a Server Transfer there's no option to "save it for later". Just pick a server. That's it. The server I want is there so yay, but still. How would on "save it for later"?

Why we haven't had a red name announcement stating that they were fixed (or acknowledging that were broken) is beyond me though.

By clicking on "Destination", you can display all servers (not all at once, but still). Just sayin'.

I've seen rednames acknowledging that you couldn't transfer from a US server to a former EU server and vice-versa. But no, I did not know about (or see a redname post regarding) the aforementioned fix last night.|

You can transfer to the EU servers, I actually did one the night before last. Someone pointed out to me that even though the list truncates you can sort it by clicking on the headers.
Image for reference:
For clarification, The actual problem is that the current server transfer UI does not extend far enough down to list all servers. They're actually "there" on the list, it just cannot scroll down to see them.
As to the question about using the server transfer immediately, I am getting an answer for that question ASAP.

That wasn't the original issue though, initially after the merge you could only see the serve belonging to your old serve group. Was like that for a few days, no idea when it was sorted.

personally, I think they should give us FREE transfers, they added the new server list,and this is the 7 year celebration month. seems they may be trying to raise money,It must be time for the checking of the books, they have trimmed as far as they can, so now they charge for anything they can.
tin foil hat on
they next will be announcing price increases,and then point to well we merged the list, gave yo u this and that ,and use it to justifiy the price increase. and if you just spent $$$ to get more slots, and transfers, of course you will stay around for the new price plan.

I noticed this announcement.
My postings to this forum are not to be used as data in any research study without my express written consent.
I think I may take advantage of this. The server I play on right now never has anyone to team up with.

I think it was mentioned that the reason they don't want to give away free transfers is that they don't want everyone to just flock over to the two big servers.

Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I'm also dropping in to inquire as to how/if we can really purchase transfers now and save for later. Looking forward to the response!
Veridian Dynamics. Mistakes. We all make them. But sometimes mistakes lead to great discoveries. Mistakes are how we learn and grow... so we can do amazing things.
When you think about it, shouldn't you be thanking us for making mistakes? Veridian Dynamics. We're sorry. You're welcome.

The only reason they mentioned saving them for later was because the entire list of servers was not showing up.|

That is no longer a problem. All the servers are showing up as shown below and confirmed by a Zwillinger.

So there's no reason to wait. Just pick a server and make the transfer.
to clarify we can currently stockpile transfers? and how many can we store ?

Can you confirm that you can save them for later? It's posted that you can you should follow through on this.

Our apologies for the confusion, you cannot save them for later at this point but there is a work around to be able to see the missing servers. You can sort the list alphabetically in order to access a more comprehensive list.

No. That's not on an automated script. That was a run-once script after the diverger.|

The devs have said that they will make Passport available for all in some other way in a future issue.

It also only shows servers with spaces, so fill a few with level 1s, my list only had the 4 ex euro servers on it as I'd filled all the US ones |

Well crapola!! I was hoping you could. I was going to drop around $300 on transfers to clear out a few servers and branch a few alts to others.

We Will Remember This One Moment In Time! ~ Shadow Ravenwolf
This week in our ongoing Seven Years of Super Sale, character transfers are half-off in the in-game store! If you're looking to move some characters from one server to another--especially now that the server list has merged!--now's a great time to do it at a discounted price! The sale will run from now until May 31, 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific / June 1 4:59 a.m. British / 5:59 a.m. Central European).
Please note that there are some servers that currently do not display in the list when purchasing a transfer; we are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime, you can work around this issue by sorting the list from A to Z or the other way around, to see the missing servers!
