Will switching to NA remove my EU characters?

CherryCake · May 2016

I know this is a silly question, but 8 characters is not enough anymore now that I got the Imperials (master race =D). So If I switch on my PS4 to NA server, will my characters on EU be removed?

Thank you!

You will need to make new characters in NA servers. Characters are server specific. But your EU characters would be safe in the EU server.

No your characters will not be removed from EU if you start an NA character. The two servers are separated and do not affect each other.

Just remember that all crown store purchased items DO NOT transfer between megaservers - they are server bound, but account wide on that server. This includes stuff such as the Adventurers pack, the Imperial pack, all Costumes, Pets and Mounts.

@Bonzodog01 are you sure that DLC's and game packs bought for crowns aren't account wide?

I preordered the Imperial Edition, so I got the Explorers Edition and can create any race in any alliance on both servers, but my boyfriend used the crown store to purchase the crown store Adventurer Pack... it would be weird, if he doesn't get the same option as me to play any race in any alliance :S

Any crown store purchase is tied to that specific megaserver, so if he bought it on EU it will not apply to NA. Imperial edition is tied directly to your account so you will be able to make imperial on either megaserver.

It might or might not be. Unless something changed since it was initially implemented, the Imperial Edition currently comes in two versions: bundled with your base game purchase or as Crown Store upgrade. The first is account-wide, the second isn't (just like any other Crown Store purchase).
Basically, anything you buy outside the game is account-wide, anything you buy within the game is server-bound.

So what happens to crowns, I mean if I buy 5k crowns ...and use them on EU server, will I still have 5k crowns on NA server?

>.< why is this information not easily accessible through the website aaargh

No crowns are only on one server, the server you purchased them on.

Everybody is mostly correct so far. I started on NA PC with an Adventurer's Pack (which is the one that gets any race in any alliance not Imperial). It was on my account. I got rewards along the way such as a tiger mount, a costume, and several pets. I also acquired crowns before the transfer to Xbox. Everything I had to that point went with me to Xbox except for my crowns. Those I had to spend before I transferred but what I bought was tied to my account and transferred with me.

So, on Xbox I had everything up to the point where I transferred on PC and on Xbox but they were separate. They still live on my account and if I get a new computer this summer as I intend, I can pick them up again on the PC. On X-box, I got credited with the Adventurer's Pack a second time and so got some crowns and a new set of maps. I didn't like all the crowds at night so made new characters on the EU for night play. There I still had my adventurer's pack and all my pets, costumes and mounts I had bought but nothing associated with my characters. In other words, my bank was empty and my characters were back to soul shriven husks with no sisters to make better stuff and share their gold.

The crowds moved on and I mostly play in NA now. I bought TG from the crown store and a pirate costume set. Those I have in NA but I have no access to them in EU. I will have to buy crowns in EU to buy TG if I want to play it there. BUT, if I were to subscribe again, that's account wide and I could play TG and the DLC I haven't bought, on any server. I am not sure if subscribing would get me access to other crown purchases though I don't thinks so.

If any of this is wrong, someone please let me know.

Crowns are bought for account, so they're usable on both servers - but only once. If you spend all 5k crowns on EU, you will have nothing left on NA. But you could also spend 3k on EU and 2k on NA, for example.
