• Your initial character cannot travel between servers; you must use a tribesman.
• If using a password, both servers must have the same password.
• Cross-server Mode admin setting must be enabled on all servers.

Tips and Warnings

• Always ensure both servers are online before attempting transfers.

• Restart servers in the correct order to prevent issues.

Common Transfer Errors

• Server restart issues: The master server must start first and stop last; otherwise, transfers may fail or servers may hang.
• Password mismatch: If passwords differ, players may be kicked to the main menu during transfer.
• Initial character restriction: Your starting character cannot transfer; use a tribesman instead.
• Cross-server disabled: Transfers will fail if "Cross-server Mode" is not enabled in server settings.
