Hope someone can help me with this. I bought some zen for my free account. Unfortunately it looks like I was logged in to my gold account at Perfect world. How can I get the zen to my free account. Someone in game said I can sell it for questionite, but still how do I get it to the other account.

    I'm not sure you can.

    I know you can on STO, buy and sell Dilithium and Zen and then withdraw it from the exchange with a different character. That only works with Dilithium or Questionite really. Zen is on your account not character.

    Transferring between accounts... I'm not sure there is any way of doing that.

    There's no way to transfer it. Zen is tied to a specific account - and you can't transfer Questonite between characters.

    What you can do is file a Support Ticket explaining the situation to PW. They might be willing to credit the Zen transaction off of the account. You could then re-buy it on the other account. I wouldn't count on that, though. But you can try.

But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Clever usage of the Questionite Exchange.

    Sell Q for Zen. Log on to character than needs Q. Sell Zen for Q.

    Profit.

    Actually it's even simpler than that:

    Put your Q up for a ridiculous price no one will pay - then cancel the transaction. Your Q is now in the Questionite exchange buffer and not on your character. Switch characters. Now collect your stuff from the exchange. <._.> You don't even have to go through the relative hassle of converting it to Zen and back.

    Annoying people since 2009!

    I was referring to characters on different accounts - as per the OP's problem. Not to characters on the same account. Yes, you can trade Questonite on the Exchange and give it to another character on your account, but you can't give it to a character on another account. There's no way to give Zen or Questonite to another account.

    For the sake of clarity, you should of said account not character then. For most people when you say different characters, you're typically talking about characters on the same account.

    Possibly, but I assumed people had read the OP's statement and knew what the problem being discussed in the thread was. :)

    Well that doesn't happen all that often. Most people simply read the topic and respond. I even read though the post and was going to mention the exchange then I realized that he was talking about accounts not characters.

    But either way, when people see someone mention characters, they will almost always associate that with characters on the same account, regardless of what the topic was about.

    I did read it.
    But i corrected what was said about 'You cannot transfer Q to another character'. Not to correct what you meant or didn't, just what was quoted.
    I could have said 'use the Q Exchange to buy the Zen from the wrong account with Q from the another account'. But to accomplish in that action would take some thinking and explaining, which i dont have skills for.
    Simple answer would have been 'Check what you're doing. Thrice.'
    But that would have been too late.

    Just wanted to say thank you for all your comments and suggestions (I am the OP). So it looks like there's no way to move my zen or even convent to qnite and trade/mail it.

    BTW my names:
    fascistpig is a song by Suicidal Tendencies

    as is Lastcaress a song by The Misfits

    it's just a nod to those who know the bands
