Character transfer between my accounts

I have two accounts with three toons on each, so 6 toons. I need to switch one from one account to another. Is it possible to swap two toons between my accounts? I am familiar with character transfer when there is an open slot, but don't remember seeing a way to swap toons on two accounts. Is this possible?

Not if you don't have any open slots. You'd need a third account with an open slot to temporarily move a character to it. So you're paying the fee for one extra move (A -> C, B -> A, C -> B) plus one month subscription on the third account, to cancel the trial account restrictions.

EDIT: Though you can do buddy invite for the third (temp) account and get a plex or a month subscription back.

In the future, submit a support ticket under Billing & Accounts >> Character Transfers. A GM will usually get back to you within 24 hours about stuff like this.


Sigh, in light of the reddit thing, I guess one of my corpies got an incorrect response from a GM last month about this same thing. I guess I get to inform him of this now. He will be happy.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

According to a recent post on reddit (which I don't have to hand, sorry) you can. The cost to transfer a character is normally 2 plex. Have these in the redeeming system on one of your accounts if you were planning to use Plex. Then send in a petition and request a character swap from the GM. I'm not sure how you'd go about it if you plan on paying real currency for the transfer, but query that if necessary.

As far as I can tell, it can't be done for free, but requesting a swap like this saves 2 Plex or having to roll a 3rd account, so it's probably worth it.

Great after wanting to do that for years between my 4 accounts of wich none had an empty slot i didn't figure out how to , i admit i never did ask , and now when i only have one active account left and absolutely no need to know how ..... i see how Lol.

This is one of those times where my sig probably refers to myself Blink.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
