I know this been asked bunch of times, to move your toon on other server and we all know It's not possible. Why not make it happen? Connect server to some database, dig in the code after all It's adding something not changing anything that exists and been made by original developing group. Charge 10 bucks for it, be happy, i would happily pay it to move my Mystic onto PvP server. This seems like a good idea but I have no idea why they won't even think about it.

    Only problem with this idea people will get to 100+ on PVE then switch to PVP with pro gear, then they will quickly own those still working on top gear, also that will cause more over crowding of the PVP servers. If you wanted PVP you should have started in PVP.

    This has been discussed more times than I can count, and has gotten the same answer every time... so much so that it has even been included in the sticky thread of Frequently Made Suggestions. A quote from the pertaining part of that thread:

    We should be able to transfer servers!

    This will not be happening anytime soon for two reasons.

    A) The name cannot be changed because it interferes with the database

    B) It has the potential for abuse by giving players an unfair advantage over others i.e PvE to PvP server and vice versa or an older server with better prices to a new server with more expensive prices. Suddenly that gear is more valuable

    However, you can in fact save your characters look. Simply get a makeover scroll and save your character as a preset. Then when you make your new character you can use that preset to enjoy the same looks. Also with a bit of luck, your name hasn't been taken on the other server as they do not share a database with the exception of the European servers whose names do share a database. Also note that it is not expressly against the ToS to offer items and coins to other players on one server for items and coins on the other server. But you must exercise caution and do at your own risk. PWI cannot be held responsible if you lose your items to another player in a bad trade. Again this is NOT recommended by PWI (nor myself, to be honest) but it is also NOT against the terms of service. If you decide to do this, you do it your own risk.
