Moving Characters between shards

[leroyreborn]

Hi all,
so currently I have all my characters (actively playing) on the same shard. The order of the characters in the list is mixed vs the teams, i.e. first character on each team is not listed first in the list of characters, etc.
From what I can gather, each toon can be moved once every 7 days. Using this principle, I could move my toons to another shard in the order I want to see them and then 7 days later move them back to the original shard? Correct? Anyone see an issue with doing this?
Thanks for any insight

it should work. But might have to change your names because someone might take it while your name while gone from the shard. lest for me running with a FLT system i run off names for macros. so suck having to change names

yeah, i ran into this issue when I transferred my extra-life cleric team to Alsbeth, sonmone had already taken the name of my tank.

Changed all the macros but one and it took me a bit to track it down.

My suggestion is log into the shard you are thinking of transferring to and create throw away characters to reserve the names, or at least check just before doing the transfer. This way you know if you will need to change any macros beforehand or not.
