Will it be possible to transfert AUR to other characters any time soon? If I remember correctly CCP said something about it coming: Might be as well some bad booster side effects playing their tricks on my mind.

I don't know why this isn't possible. Is anyone still interested in the Nexstore?

I for one am interested in pooling all the AUR from my characters into one account :)

AUR is just a PLEX sink and it kind of defeats the purpose to let you trade them. That said it might happen anyway with Dust?

I see, but you can't convert the AUR you have to tokens right?

I'd like this too - and the tokens can't be moved (like PLEX in the start - unless they fixed the tokens now)

You mean allowing players to accumulate enough AUR to purchase overpriced NeX store items defeats the purpose of AUR? OK, what is the purpose of AUR - to sit in your account with 5,500 AUR forever and never be used?

The purpose of AUR is to break down PLEX so they can't be used for game time. The reason for giving you free AUR is to make you accustomed to the idea of spending AUR in NEX and to tease you by not giving you enough so you start considering buying a PLEX. The beauty of it is that when you have bought what you want you prob still have some AUR left teasing you ...

Not yet. It's a simple database entry. Could be done in three work days by CCP (including bug fixing).

It'll never happen, the reason for this is the freebee AUR they gave away. First of all making it tradable would free up so much AUR it would sink the value which is counter productive for CCP. Apart from that, that AUR acts as a lure, for you to get hooked on and then in an "oh alright, I'll bite" spend some plex on getting enough AUR to buy something cool.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Funny, I have 5,500 AUR x 6 accounts sitting there "teasing" me for the past few months, and it doesn't seem to be working.
