Everquest 2: Free Character Transfers and the PVP Server Mergers

FAQ:

What happens to my characters if I have hit the maximum number of characters per account for both regions?
For our friends in Europe being merged into Venekor, this is a very real question to consider. It is also quite possible that people already on Venekor could be asking the same question and worrying over characters they made in Europe. To address this concern, the dev team is making a special exception for characters incoming to Venekor.

Characters created before April 1st, 2007 on Venekor, or any of the EU servers merging into Venekor will be grandfathered and not counted toward the normal six character maximum. For each such character you have, your maximum number of character slots will be increase by 1, to a maximum of 12 character slots.

Characters transferred into Venekor from other servers during the week of free character transfers will not be granted this exemption as they were not forced to merge by the process.

How many times can I move my character to a new server during this week?
For the duration of this week, you can move as many times as you wish. The only limit to this is the time it will take for the data to transfer your character to the new server.

Can I transfer my characters between accounts?
Yes, during the week of free transfers you will be able to move your character to a new account provided that you own the source and destination accounts.

Can my guild move as a part of the free character transfer week?
After the merge into Venekor, anyone wanting to move their guild to a new server will need to move their characters and then form a new guild on the destination server. The only guilds being moved for free are the ones being merged into Venekor.

Can I move from PvP to PvE servers? What about Exchange Servers?
You will not be able to move characters between servers of different rule sets. Characters on a PvP server must stay on PvP servers. If your server has more than one rule modification (PvP + Exchange) you must qualify your target server for each requirement (i.e.: Characters on Vox can't transfer servers because no other server of similar qualifiers exists.)

What happens if someone has the same name as me and I don't like how the default process renames my character?
Incoming characters with duplicate names should find an 'x' appended to their name to make it unique. International players may find that the special characters used in their native language (such as the umlaut) are not properly represented on the destination.
