WildStar Officially Launches
WildStar officially launches today and Carbine offers free server transfers.
The long awaited day has finally come around as the Carbine Studios developed MMORPG, WildStar, officially releases. While many hardcore fans have already been playing during its three day headstart, new players looking to try their hand at discovering the ancient secrets of Nexus can jump in and see what this new universe has to offer. With a plethora of both PvE and PvP gameplay, player housing and a deep crafting system, WildStar is aiming to be the next big AAA MMO to take the center stage.
With the game now officially launched, it'll be up to you to discover the dark and powerful secrets this universe holds.
On top of the game releasing today, Carbine is offering free realm transfers for select servers due to server congestion during early access. The team seems as though they're being pretty cautious not to spin up a large amount of new servers right away, but are listening to the community and understands that queue times aren't fun to deal with.
If you're someone looking to server transfer in order to lessen or hopefully get rid of queue times all together, here are the details:
North American server transfers will include:
- Pergo to Rowsdower
- Pago to Rowsdower
- Widow to Rowsdower
- Stormtalon to Mikros
- Caretaker to Orias
European server transfers will include:
- Hazak to Contagion
- Hazak to Gaius
- Hazak to Deadstar
- Progenitor to Deadstar
- Treespeaker to Gaius
- Ascendancy to Archon
There's a few important details that should be noted if you're a player thinking about transferring. First, the transfer services will take some time, especially when the service first begins due to the number of players looking to use the relocate. Estimated times say that some transfers may take up to 24 hours depending on the volume of players changing servers. Additionally, if a server becomes full, players will be notified 48 hours in advance.
Lastly, players looking to transfer:
- Can move any number of characters as many times as they want (limited to once every 22 hours)
- They cannot have pending mail, auctions, commodity orders, or CREDD
- They cannot be a member of a circle, Arena Team, Warparty or a Guild
- They cannon be a circle, Arena Team, Warparty or Guild Leader
