Warhammer Online: Over Forty Servers To Close

10 Mar 2009 at 18:37:29 by Bill Vaughan

Mythic has asked Warhammer Online players on selected servers to transfer their characters to one of 15 destination realms, in preparation for the closure of 43 game servers.

A notice went up yesterday on the Warhammer site, informing players of the upcoming transfers. A table containing 43 Source and 15 destination servers shows players where they may transfer their characters to, although if they would prefer another server Mythic is allowing a one-off transfer to any server of the player's choice of the same type.

A part of the announcement revealed that all 43 source servers will be shut down at some point:

"Characters on the source servers listed below will all be consolidated onto the corresponding destination server. All source servers will eventually be closed."

Players are asked to ensure they read the guide, which is included in the notice, on transferring their characters to ensure no items are lost in the move. There are also a number of instances where the transfer will not be possible, such as a character's name being disallowed on the destination server, or if a player has characters on the destination server of the opposite faction.
