1-Will there be free transfer to the VIP server when the game go Free To Play?
2-How many toons will I be able to transfer to that server?
3-If more than one can be transferred, can I assume it will be from any servers?
4-Will I be able to use my Redeem slots on the VIP server and fill those new slots with transferred toons?

1. As a VIP you get one free server transfer every month.
2. As many as you have available slots for.
3. You can transfer to and from any server.
4. Yes.

And thank you for the reply

Probably one, and then you can purchase as many others as you want. I don't think that many people will be transferring characters there, but may make a handful of new characters there.

This. Why would I transfer away from my current homes, when I can just fill the new one with more occupants?

Personally, I won't be transferring any characters, nor starting any new characters on the VIP server. The more people that stay on their home servers, the better the game will look to those who are thinking about trying it when it is free to play. By staying on servers that are open to Free players, we can help to make the game a larger success. New players will be turned off if they log on and see that the VIP server is 3 dots in the red and all the other servers are less, but if the VIP server is relatively empty, they'll know that we aren't elitists who think less of them because they can't or don't want to pay for the game.

I don't look at it as staying away from the newbies, I look at it as 12 more slots! Since at this moment the only servers I don't have characters on are the EU ones (Would it be rude to create some on the German or French servers when my only practical language is English?) I only barely consider Virtue to be my "home" server. And only because it has my main on it. I won't be transferring any characters, but I don't see any need to forgo using the VIP server just because some people can't use it. That leads to me not using Signature arcs or Tier 9 VIP Rewards for the same reason.

I don't plan on transferring either. What I may do is transfer some semi retired 50 levels that I don't have the heart to just delete but really have no desire to play anymore there. That way I free up slots on virtue for new characters.

I have friends here that also have no intention of leaving virtue so why would I transfer all my characters to a server where i don't know a soul and start all over again. Not only that but I have 36 slots on virtue and they are all filled.. so lets see it would take me 3 years at one free transfer a month to get them all there OR I pay to transfer them and then have to pay for added slots on the VIP server to hold them all as well.

naw I think i will just stay put... Hey maybe it will be LESS laggy on virtue if a ton of vips that can't stand the thought of playing with .. ewww F2P players all leave lol

It is a bit of a slippery slope, but the way I see it is that as long as I'm in their company, it's all gravy. The more VIP stuff I use in their presence, the more tempted they might be to go VIP themselves. Whereas if I relegate myself to the VIP server, the free players won't be able to see any of my sweet VIP lootz to be tempted.
