New Game Features Come To The City!
Included in the game update on September 12th, 2007 are two new features available to all subscribers to City of Heroes and City of Villains:
- Character Transfer allows customers to move characters from one server to another
- Character Rename allows customers to rename a selected character.
Both features, Character Transfer and Character Rename, carry a transaction fee of $9.99 each per use. Should a Character Transfer have a name conflict on the destination server, a free Character Rename will be made available to resolve the conflict and rename the moving character.
These new features exemplify our commitment to improve the quality of the City of Heroes experience. We feel the price of these features is enough to prevent potential abuse, but also reasonable enough to not be prohibitive for those who want to improve their gaming experience by moving servers or changing a character name.
IMPORTANT! Customers who are interested in taking advantage of the Character Transfer service should know that it is possible in the future that we may make changes to the game that would remove the need to Transfer servers. One example of such a change would be a “server-less” game configuration where all players can group with anyone, without the restriction of which server they play on. We are not committing to this “server-less” configuration, and in fact, at the time of this posting, there are no plans to implement a “server-less” environment during the 2007 calendar year. However, because we are charging a fee for these services, it is important that our players understand that the possibility exists. We want to be very clear in this regard so that those who do decide to make use of a Server Transfer understand that they may not need it in the future.
