Hey guys, i had a character on Harshlands, PvP server from U.S.A East server. And now with these changes my character are on Dawnglory(Europe Server).
My gaming experience have decrease as my ping goes up on this new server and the time zone affects my game too.
So, in this circumstances it is available to transfer my character to another server?
sorry my bad english :c

Unfortunately, at this time, no. No future plans for server transfers are known. :l102/101/102 cleric0

Short answer: No.
Medium answer: No, for whatever reason or excuse. They were able to move one server's population to another, but somehow magically can not transfer 1 account to another server. Technical difficulties or something.
Long answer: I'll leave that up to @sylenthunder
Go figure.

i say create a ticket explaining your problem and the amount of time you spend playing this game (and the amount of money you spend if you do, it does seem to help), IN THE MOST POLITE NON-AGGRESSIVE WAY POSSIBLE.
i think even though they dont advertise it that they MIGHT, just MIGHT, be willing to facilitate something if you are willing to be discreet and patient.
chances of success 20% i'd say, so dont get your hopes up.0 -
PWE's response to server merges was always never, partially because of mixing PvP with PvE was considered unfair, and also because of the complexity of 5 relational databases, 3 of which are integrated directly into the server code.Short answer: No.

They were finally able to do it, and I think that's most likely because the original devs that created the game are back.
Pulling a single account out is a lot harder though. Theoretically it's possible, and I know of a way it could possibly be managed. The problem is that it's a very complex manual process with a fairly high rate of possible failure. (Failure meaning that either A. you cannot log into the characters, or B. that you cannot earn any exp or use gear.)
Basically what you would have to do is copy the core account information from the character.xml file and the two primary SQL databases over to the new server. You would have to give it a new/unused account ID number, and manually change the account number links in the SQL databases and the .xml file. Then reboot the server and pray.
I've tried this many times on my servers. I've only had it actually work once or twice. In most cases it would crash the account when you gained exp, and in a few it would crash the entire server.0 -

When it came up in suggestion box I said I trust the GMs to make the right choice to do this as lets face it. Their alwayz was going to be a high chance this was going to happen.
I have never tried to move all the files from a server to server alone let alone try even one toon. King the how the system is even set-up I don't think I would ever want to try... Design flaw. Im sure a program could be made to handle this as a request and Im sure may be something in the future... yet again time will tell...
Long run they said no to server merges... They Said no to many things... Look where we are now...

I know a server where the owner could transfer accounts from 1 server to another multiple times without any problems. So I guess it depends on how you manage it. I understand why PWE doesn't want to provide this service, and it looks more like they really don't want than because they can't or it's too complicated.
