CourtneyWoods Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The response to the Free Character Transfer Service so far has been fantastic. Hundreds of thousands of players have already taken advantage of this free service to move their characters to new servers where it’s easier to find groups and play with friends. This initial service is still available and allows qualifying characters to be transferred at no charge from selected origin servers to selected destination servers. In appreciation for the community’s support of the Free Character Transfer service, we are giving all characters on qualifying servers (including all destination servers) an in-game pet, the Gannifari, and 25 Black Hole Commendations to help purchase high level gear. Visit www.swtor.com/transfer for a list of qualifying servers. Read More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psi_overtake Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Are the BH comms for only level 50s, or all toons? I'm guessing all, but not 100% sure. Anyways, it's nice to see this Thanks! Edit: Yup, all toons get them! Edited July 5, 2012 by psi_overtake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernall Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 What about those of us who've already taken the transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badmrfrosty Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If you have already transferred a character, like in my case, are you going back to those characters and adding the rewards or is it for new transfers only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Areomayo Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 hi, im also wondering if this is applied to characters that has allready been transfered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpphantom Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Unexpected and welcome. Thanks! But to echo the previous questions, what of those of us that leaped at the free transfers immediately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteis Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 What about those of us who've already taken the transfers? Wondering the same thing, I dont think they would shaft everyone that has already transfered, but who knows these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultilinker Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So wait - the people that transferred as soon as the transfers became available get nothing? How is this fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteis Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) So wait - the people that transferred as soon as the transfers became available get nothing? How is this fair? It doesnt say that anywhere. but it also doesnt mention either way if those of us who transfered are eligable, just that if your on the server u get it, doubt it has a start time on when u transfered tho.

MrMajestic Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's for everyone who transfers to a destination server, or is already on a destination server. As long as they're active by the 30th of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroPlus Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If you have already transferred a character, like in my case, are you going back to those characters and adding the rewards or is it for new transfers only? Taken from the "Read More" link in the first post: (emphasis added by me) ====================================================== Both rewards are granted to any character that meets the following criteria: •Your character(s) must be on a qualifying server (which includes destination servers) and your account must be active by July 30, 2012 at 11:59 PM CDT / July 31, 2012 at 4:59AM GMT. •Your account must not be banned. ====================================================== Since there is no mention of a "start date" but only a "by" date it appears that all transfered toons are eligible as long as they transfer by the date indicated (and the account isn't banned ).

Luniara Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So, what if I didn't transfer and have been on the destination server the entire time? He's so cute! I MUST HAVE THAT PET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonnen Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 In appreciation for the community’s support of the Free Character Transfer service, we are giving all characters on qualifying servers (including all destination servers) an in-game pet, the Gannifari, and 25 Black Hole Commendations to help purchase high level gear.] How is a double all "All characters on qualifying servers and all destination servers" confusing for some people?

dosadnik Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Can we just get clarification on if characters who have already been transfered will get the rewards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourtneyWoods Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone! Just want to clear up any confusion - if your server is on the list of qualifying servers you will receive the pet and commendations even if you have already transferred those characters. Here are the requirements to be eligible for the rewards: 1. You must have an active subscription. 2. Your character must be on a qualifying server by 11:59PM CDT July 30th, 2012 / 4:59AM GMT on July 31st, 2012. Here is a link to the FAQ if you have any other concerns! Thanks!

Kaze-Yama Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Just a question but why blackhole comms? Can you even buy anything with 25 comms or not. I'm primarily a PVP person so getting blackhole comms on my characters really doesn't help me much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amclu Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 What if we are waiting on paid transfers? I am still on an origin server waiting for paid transfers to join my other characters on a server that was NOT my destination server. Am I going to miss out on this pet because I am waiting to pay to move instead of going to the free transfer server where I have no other toons or friends? Would really like to be able to take advantage of this as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZIMx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) It'd be helpful if we could have secondary servers to transfer to, then I'd do it in a second. Getting two origin servers of separate alliance/empire-biased servers merged into one destination is problematic Edited July 5, 2012 by RAZIMx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayla_Felana Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 To the above people, you don't actually need to transfer, as long as you are on the list of qualifying servers which are NOT just the destination servers, then you will be rewarded.
