Cannot Leave Cyrodiil Without Paying A Fee

I have been trying to leave Ravenwatch for 2 months now. I wait until 2:00 AM PST on the first of the month, at the end of the campaign, and try to switch to Blackreach, but get the same message that I will need to pay 100,000 Gold to switch.

This is a campaign that does not have Alliance Locking and is supposed to set at the first of each month.

I have submitted online tickets but no one has a solution.

So, once you select any campaign in Cyrodiil, are you stuck there for the life of the character unless you pay gold?

    Are you trying to swap your home campaign or just physically go to that campaign?

    When Ravenwatch ended on the first of the month, I wanted to change my home campaign to Blackreach.

    You have to change campaign before the end of the month. You'll get two choices, the first is to change immediately for 100k ap. The second choice is to stay in your current campaign for the rest of the month, and be moved to your new choice on the first of the next month, that choice is free.

    Wrong, not according to the answer to the support ticket from this morning.

    "Please note that even if the campaign has concluded, it will always cost players Alliance Points to switch to a different campaign than the one your character is currently on. The system is working as intended as such if you wish to switch campaigns you will be charged the related AP cost for this action."

    You might have an account issue then because I have switched my home campaign several times this month, and it cost me absolutely nothing.

    After an ungodly amount of support tickets going back to last year, I just don't care anymore. :D

    I'm having the same problem. I've switched 15 toons successfully, 2 won't switch without paying.

    Last month, on PS/NA, on my main account, I switched 15 toons (from all three alliances) from 1 campaign to another without paying. Today, on my Alt PS/NA account, and on my main PS/EU account, I switched 5 toons each without paying. It is definitely supposed to be free, once a campaign timeframe, to change campaigns.

    I'd like to think I've spent a bit more time in Cyrodiil than support has. :)
