Mythic is preparing to merge servers in Warhammer Online. To initiate the process, a series of free server transfers will be taking place on February 9. Players can choose the free transfer option to move to a designated server. The original servers will then be marked as 'Legacy' servers to prevent new registrations. After a period of 3 weeks, the servers will then be marked as 'Retired'. Players who do not choose the free option will have to pay to switch to another server during that time.

The servers affected for North American players are Iron Rock and Volkmar, which can both transfer to Gorfang for free. Players on the German server Carroburg can transfer to Drakenwald for free. The company said:

"The game play experience of our customers is something we highly value.  We don’t make changes like this lightly.  A lot of metrics and analysis accompanies this type of decision. We feel that these changes will help to ensure that server options continue to facilitate that best RvR experience out there. Thanks for playing and see you on the battlefield!"

What do you think about the free tansfer options? How will this affect you?
