How do I transfer a toon from one account to another?
I was trying to figure out how to do this now. I had done it once before, and was thinking of getting a new account up and going for one of my toons, but I didn't want to start over from scratch. I looked in the marketplace, and the potion you can buy will transfer servers only, and specifically says that it won't transfer from one account to another. I then tried googling it, and couldn't find any links to anything of the sort. Logging in to eqplayers.com and going to character services only brings up their super janky Allakhazam.com ripoff thing. Any ideas how to transfer a toon to a different account these days?
It's a lot more than same credit card.
First the name needs to be exactly the same for both. Same address and ZIP etc helps too.
Secondly the new account needs to have exactly the same expansions enabled or higher.
If all of those conditions are met you can simply login on the first account use the rapid transfer and then logout and into the new one.

I think all those conditions are met. I can check the account info to be sure. But what do you mean by rapid transfer? It's possible that's just down due to maintenance, but I couldn't find anything at all about transferring a character outside of the marketplace potion thing.Saburo wrote: If all of those conditions are met you can simply login on the first account use the rapid transfer and then logout and into the new one.
The way around that is to buy one of the numerous accounts that have Veteran Rewards. I picked one up last year with all Veterans enabled (at that time), what made it tantalisingly good was that they had managed to get the account activated without a name so I just popped my own details into it and transferred an alt across. There are lots of these blank Vet accounts floating around, just don't get tricked into paying too much.Giustin wrote:Just remember that in transfering a toon to a new account you lose all veteran awards, loyalty points and anything else that is linked to subscription time. Even if the toon is 10 years old, it is treated as a brand new account.
I finally found it in their database thing, although it didn't come up when I searched. It was a few clicks deep into related links.

You may transfer a character to another server on the same account by purchasing a Character Transfer Token from the Marketplace in-game. Transfers from account to account, however, are only available on our website.
Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing difficulties with our character transfer site, so account-to-account transfers must be handled manually. If you wish to transfer a character to another account, you will need to first purchase a Character Transfer Token in the Marketplace, and then contact Customer Support Department, via /petition, for further assistance.
In your petition, please include the following information:

Wrong
Just paying with the same CC can and will do the trick, the Account info does NOT have to match. The final cost in all is like $ 75 US to move char/with gear to another account.
" If we would have known about this before we would have told you to shove that red pill right up your ass "
Then they have changed the process again. When I tried it got rejected the first time because the account I was trying to transfer to was one I had "bought" from another player and as such had his details etc. I changed all the CC info but was not enough and got rejected. So I just used one of the 'free' accounts and followed the guide I got from someone else which I summaried above.Naervhun wrote:Saburo wrote:It's a lot more than same credit card.
