Mythic to Close 43 Warhammer Online Servers

 Yesterday Mythic announced further character transfers from servers that will be eventually closed. Since Warhammer Online was released in Sept 2008, there has been a steady exodus of gamers causing Mythic to close down servers.

All characters on the servers listed here will be consolidated onto another destination server, with all source servers eventually closing.

Items in your character’s inventory (equipped or otherwise) and bank vault, bio, quests, tomes, friend list, and guild info will be transferred with you. Auction items, guild alliances, and in-game mail and attachments will not be transferable. This includes any promotional or collector’s edition items, so be sure to get them out of the bank or mail or you’ll lose them.

What will transfer over with my character?

All items in your character’s inventory (equipped or otherwise) and bank vault
All character info (quests, Tome Unlocks, etc.)
Friends lists
Guild info, including the entire guild, guild vault, and guild association
Ignore lists
What will not transfer over with my characters?

Items that are currently listed for Auction
Guild alliances
In-game mail and attachments (both in your inbox and en route to your inbox)
Please note: This includes promotional and Collector’s Edition items. You must retrieve them from  your mailbox before transferring, or they will be lost.

What could make the transfer fail?

If you have characters on a destination server that are of the opposite realm as your characters on your source server, you will not be able to transfer your characters.
If a character’s name is not allowed, you will not be able to transfer your character.
If you have no open characters slots on the destination server, the transfer will not be able to complete.
If the character has never logged in to the game, the transfer will not be able to complete.
If the character name is reserved, the transfer will not be able to complete.

What should I do if my character name is already in use on the destination server?

In the event that your character’s name is already in use on the destination server, you will be prompted to rename your character when you log in.

What if I don’t want to be on the server I’m being transferred to?

Starting on March 11th, all characters still present on the source servers, along with all the characters that we have transferred over to the destination servers will be permitted a one-time free transfer to any other server of the same type, regardless of level.

After this latest character transfer announcement, it leaves Warhammer Online with 15 servers.  Even though 15 servers is a decent amount, losing 2/3’s of your players base is not good news for Mythic.
