Monthly Transfer Token for VIP?


Fireclad

 

Posted

I started with CoH way back in '04 and even when I had to stop logging on, I could never get it out of my head. It's exactly what I want in an online game. I was lucky enough to notice a CoH gametime card in a local store and went nuts with nostalgia. Yep, immediate purchase.

Now, I'm dusting off vintage builds and trying to figure out so many changes. I had/have altitis, so there are a number of toons on Pinnacle that I love. Question is, I now have a server transfer token for free through the purchase and I don't really know how it works. All the info I can find is old or incomplete on most topics, including this one. So here is my question:


If I transfer my character to another server, will I have to unlock that server and that slot if I eventually have to go back to premium level? Secondly, will the server transfer stack monthly or does it expire? Thanks!

As I understand it when someone first drops to Premium they get 2 character slots plus any additional slots they earned thru vet rewards or purchased that they can assign to any server except the VIP server. Once placed they are permanent. You don't get to change your mind.

Character Transfers stack.

You will have to unlock a slot on that server when you drop down to premium. One problem some people have been having is that they play as premium, upgrade to VIP, transfer a character to a different server, and when they drop back down to premium, they can't play that character because they already used their global unlocks on the old server. Once a global unlock has been used on a server, it cannot be moved.

As per the mentioned wiki page : VIP transfers "stack with themselves and with purchased transfers."

Oops. Completely forgot about the assigning globals while Prem and then upgrading to VIP.
