Free character transfers are here! (SWG)

For those of you who have SWG accounts and aren't satisfied with your current server's population, you may get the chance to move to a new home. January 13 - March 13 SOE will be offering free character transfers from selected servers (to other selected servers).

While no one at SOE is saying the M word, you can bet the customer response to the free CTS will influence their final decision on whether server mergers will be necessary.

If you choose to use the free CTS you'll receive a painting noting that you relocated, what your former name was (if it changed) and what your former Galaxy was. You'll also receive a gift box which you can give to someone on your new server. They'll be able to open it and get the same painting as you got, and noting that they welcomed you to the new server.

The current "transferred from" galaxy servers include:

• Corbantis
• Europe-Infinity
• Intrepid
• Kauri
• Kettemoor
• Lowca
• Naritus
• Scylla
• Tarquinas
• Tempest
• Valcyn
• Wanderhome

The valid destination galaxy servers include:

• Ahazi
• Bloodfin
• Bria
• Chilastra
• Eclipse
• Europe-Chimaera
• Europe-FarStar
• Flurry
• Gorath
• Radiant
• Shadowfire
• Starsider
• Sunrunner

This is almost enough to get me to resub a couple of my old accounts with SWG, go in and consolidate a few items like I always wanted to do, but never wanted to spend the money doing. I have quite a few rare items sitting on servers I never played. I'd love to move my Nightsister Armband from Lowca to Starsider. But then there's the part of me that says "You're bloody crazy, dude! Why the hell would you sub to a game you don't have an interest in anymore just to move your stuff around." I'm not sure which part will win. The anal-retentiveness or rationality. Hmmm.....
