What's confirmed
| Rule | As of Oct 6, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Start | October 14, 2026 |
| Cost | free at first ("initially free") |
| Faction | same faction only — Elyos stay Elyos, Asmodians stay Asmodians |
| Early Access servers | characters there can only move to another Early Access server, not to a launch server |
| What carries over, requirements, caps | not announced yet — see "How it worked in Korea" |
NCSOFT's notice is short and mostly meant to steer people away from queueing for full servers. The key line:
"Server Transfers will initially be free during this period!"
Some sites (e.g. Mein-MMO) say "by October 13 at the latest" — the sources are a day apart, most likely because of time zones (the evening of Oct 13 in the US is already Oct 14 in Europe). The official date is October 14; NCSOFT hasn't given an hour yet.
Early Access servers are the ones that opened on September 30 for Founder's Pack buyers. In Europe that's the pairs from Siel–Israphel to Hithanya–Nemon. Launch servers (from October 5) include Nania–Hadala, Luteros–Ulgorn and Kochi–Baba. The full list is in our servers and pairings news.
Do you even need to transfer?
Often not. Dungeons and other instanced content are cross-server — NCSOFT points this out in the same notice. You don't need to move to run a dungeon with a friend on another server.
A transfer makes sense if you:
- want to join your friends' Legion (guild) — Legions are tied to a server,
- want to trade on the same server market (the cross-server market is planned for later, per Mein-MMO),
- are stuck on a dead or overcrowded server.
You can't change faction. If your friends play the other side, you need a new character — a transfer won't help.
How it worked in Korea (July 2026)
These are not the global rules. They're the best hint at what's coming, since NCSOFT tends to reuse the same setup. In Korea transfers were open July 22–28, 2026 (Inven, Inven Global):
| What | Korea |
|---|---|
| Who | level 45 characters, same faction only |
| How often | once per account in that window, from one server to one server |
| Cost | 1,000 Quna per account + 200 Quna per character (2 characters = 1,400 Quna) — Quna is the premium, real-money currency |
| Requirements | character in town (not in a dungeon or Rift), not in a Legion and no pending application, mail, market and shop items claimed |
| Carries over | inventory and character storage, Kinah and Quna (merged on the new server), membership, Daeva Pass, paid pets and appearances, titles, wings, season ranking points, friend list |
| Doesn't carry over | shared account storage (empty it into character bags first), items with a per-server purchase limit |
| Caps | daily transfer pool per server; fewer slots into crowded servers; smallest pools on day one |
On global the price should be zero at first, but the rest — especially the level 45 requirement and having to leave your Legion — may well repeat. We'll update this page when NCSOFT publishes the details.
How to prepare before Oct 14
- Check whether your server is Early Access or launch (list in the servers news). Early Access characters can't move to launch servers.
- Claim your mail and market items. In Korea transfers were blocked until you did.
- Empty shared storage into the bags of the characters you're moving.
- Don't commit to a Legion on your old server right before the move — in Korea you had to leave it.
- Redeem the code first — TAKEFLIGHTAION2 is account-wide, so it works on any server, but it expires on October 14 at 08:00 CEST.
FAQ
Will transfers stay free? Unknown. NCSOFT says "initially free". In Korea they cost 1,000 Quna + 200 Quna per character.
Can I move from Europe to North America? The notice only mentions servers of the same faction. NCSOFT says nothing about cross-region moves — don't count on them.
My Early Access character is on Siel. Can I move to the launch server my friend plays on? No. Early Access characters can only go to another Early Access server. Your options are cross-server dungeons or a new character.
Will I lose my Founder's Pack cosmetics? Unlikely. NCSOFT has committed to making Founder's Pack cosmetics available on every character on your account, on every server (Founder's Pack news).
Does the daily reset change after a transfer? No. All global servers in Europe and the Americas reset at the same UTC time — see daily and weekly reset times.
