In that case yes, you can transfer a character back to the original server if you have more than one token.
You can't undo it once the transfer is complete though. If you want to move the character back it will cost another token.

Thank you Claws, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I don't do transfers often so I've got a pile of them.
I wasn't sure if there was some arbitrary rule on transferring individual characters more than once.

Your only concern is whether your name will be available each time you transfer. But I've moved certain characters more than once. The game doesn't care if the character's been moved before or was previously on the server you're moving it to -- it only cares that there's an available slot and if the name is free (and if it isn't, it adds a 1 to the name and you're allowed to rename the character).

Yes.
And if you think you're going to be moving the character back at some point, right after you move them the first time, you can create a new character in the slot they freed up with the same name to hold it for you. Then, when you're ready to move back, just delete the temp character just before transferring.

Also just as a FYI when your character transfers you keep your auction house inventory, personal vault storage and email. You will be removed from your SG however and if your name is taken on the destination server you'll get a rename token and be prompted to rename your character the first time you log in.
So don't worry about emptying all your Wentworth's stuff and your Vault, it will follow you to the new server. All SG stuff stored in base storage will stay behind however as will all prestige you may have earned. Your server friends list will be wiped clean (but your global friends list will be intact) and you'll be without any SG affiliation.
If you're moving "Amazing Man" from one server to another and there happens to already be an Amazing Man on the destination you'll end up with the name "Amazing Man1" and a name change token so you can rename your character.
And, as has been mentioned, there's no limit to how many times you can move a character; it just costs a bus token for each move.
Like the OP I've quite a pile of the things from vet rewards; I occasionally use one to move an abandoned toon to another server and free up a slot. Personally I'd rather move anything I've invested the time to get into the 30's or above than delete... maybe I'll want to play that character again someday.

The move intereface does a pretty good job of telling you everything that happens when transfering servers... what you keep and what you lose, etc. It's surprising how clear it is, IMHO.
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
One thing about the name - I'm not sure if the system lets you keep a name that isn't in use because it's on the "Not Allowed" name list. So if you are unable to use the name-checker because you're full on the server and don't want to delete a character until you know the name is free, have someone else use it.
Also, if you don't then go and check another name, the system will hold that name in reserve for about 10 minutes, maybe more.

/getglobalname will not tell you if the name is on the "Not Allowed" list. So using the character create screen is better. That's why I said if you have no empty slots, it's good to ask a friend to try for you.
Unless someone can prove you can move a restricted name form one server to another and no lose it? (Not all names on the "Not Allowed" list are genericed when found - notably the character "Citadel" vs. the NPC - as the NPC was renamed and originally Bastion, the player got to keep his name.)

I'm not sure if this is quite the same, but I do have a character with a 2-letter name, XK, that I know is not allowed anymore - characters must have a minimum of 3 letters in their name, now. As I said, this is not quite the same as being on the "Not Allowed" list, but I have successfully transferred this character before without loosing the name. And, I honestly didn't know, at the time, whether I would be forced to rename or not, since I knew 2-letter names are no longer allowed.

I want to transfer a character from one server to another using one of my transfer tokens.
The question, is if I'm having second thoughts, can I transfer her back to her original server using a second token?
