    They used to... but it was abused :(

    I was trying to set up to do a transfer / account consolidation several years ago (both accts had to be subbed with same card for 30+ days) but life intervened and I missed the timing with another break from gaming. When I got back to gaming, they no longer offered transfers :(

    Lost to the times in the depths of the spaghetti code holding things together it will wait for someone, someday to find it

    And thus the horrors of uncommented code from the ill-conceived notion that not documenting or commenting on the code to make it usable later is somehow "job security".

    Its actually a comedy of errors.

    They stopped supporting Windows XP in Feb 2016 and it broke the mechanics for transfers and then

    They had switched off flat character storage

    So they must have had someone doing them manually because after that time you could still do account transfers.

    By June 2016 the players were getting errors and having to submit petitions to do the transfers. It was trickling down to 1 or 2 now and then

    By August 2016 they were no longer offering transfers but they did not close the Help section or change the wording until 2017 and then it just said "Account to Account Transfers are currently unavailable. We hope to restore this service in 2018."

    And here we are.

    It's like the Taco Bell green sauce debacle of 2016. The sauce maker quits and my favorite taco sauce vanishes. I may get over it someday, but it still hurts. I need a hug.

    Take 1:
    The drops available from content equal to your level has been better from SoD onward than in any previous era. Nothing felt more wasted than killing a tough named in BoT during planes of power and if it wasn't an ornate mold it was just alt gear.

    It is nice having actual group gear progression instead of resorting to farming to buy leftover items from those who raid and have access to the higher tier zones.

    Take 2:
    The variety of gear/stats is less important than the options for transmog. I doubt many would care whether a focus is on a different slot or not, but we'd rather customize the appearance of said gear without paying 30 bucks for heroes forge. Cookie cutter gear is fine, but cookie cutter appearances arent.

    This timeline is slightly off, as you could get account transfers done in 2017 during Kunark on Agnarr.

    It was not long after that when transfers stopped though, I was in the last batch of characters to get a split there.

    There is some truth to this. I stopped playing during ToV and alot of NoS group named gear is still worst than T2 ToV raid gear. This is 3 expansions later and old raid gear is still better than group gear????

    The only reference to Angarr transfers being allowed is for March of 2022, so not sure how you did it in 2017? Would like to see the announcement that it was allowed cause my google skills are really lacking on this one.

    Besides transferring off TLP is not the same.
