About Preferred world bonus + Transferring

[neporo]

Hello, my issue is not exactly one I have faced, however I couldn't find where else I could ask the question, I apologise in advance it if is the wrong category

I have been wanting to transfer worlds for a while, but I still have classes I would like to level by taking advantage of the bonus. Will the bonus remain on my character if i do transfer, or will it wear off? (Both worlds are preferred as of now)

Actually your character is locked for 90 days if you created him on a preferred server.
The "Road to 60" bonus lasts 90 days too so I think you'll be able to transfer only after the bonus wears off.

I'm still waiting the 90 days restriction to transfer my alt from a preferred server.

That's not the case for me. I've had the character for way more than 90 days (since February to be more specific) and my world is still a preferred one. From what I know the bonus doesn't wear off until it stops being one.
Goblin is pretty underpopulated (or at least in terms of active players) so the buff hasn't worn off.

Oh, you're right, Goblin never changed its preferred status since you created your character. That's why you still have it.

I wish I could test it because I want to transfer my alt to another preferred server too but I still have the 90 days restriction on.

I guess I just have to level my crafting classes to the point where I don't worry too much about the bonus. If you do eventually move and happen to remember about the thread, consider commenting the result just in case.

Transferred characters do not get the bonus. The bonus is there as an incentive.

A character only gets the flag for the bonus when created. So even if you go from preferred world to preferred world, you lose the "was created here" flag so lose the bonus.

Oh I see, thank you so much for clarifying!

Probably this is the best option because I think you'll lose the bonus like Valkyrie said before.
I did that to my alt and got all my crafters and gatherers to 60 so I don't need the bonus anymore.

Anyway, good luck with your crafters!
