Server transfer and companions

[Orbb]

Hello, if i transfer my character to another server i know will lose my companions.
But i am planning to come back to my previous server in a few months, will my companions be back in my inventory or are they lost forever?
Thank you.

I think, If you companions are in your bags or personal bank, then they will be transfered.
Why bother moving a character to another server and then move back to the old server, both moves most likely cost store coin. if you are taking about friendships with other players on the old server then you have to refriend them later, better keep a paper list.

I've literally never considered the implications of a double server move. It costs enough, I've never even considered doing it once.

I'd expect that anything 'left behind' will be purged. Why would they maintain stuff against the incredibly slim possibility someone might move the same character back?

Well I have only played one character seriously (i come back to the game from time to time) and i would prefer to use this character to join some friends i did not know played the game a little when all quest were free on another server.

I was planning to join them and do a few past lives, then when they stop (and they will) i would have come back to my main server.

I just bough feywild collector a few days ago so i might just create another character so as to not lose my pets, but i would prefer to improve my main character, as i don't play a lot myself.

Understandable. Expensive, though. Costs about $20. for the transfer, iirc. Would it not be better to convince them to join you on your server?

I wouldn't bother with the Transfer unless you were absolutely sure you weren't going back. And even then, there's a cost, and a loss (pets, etc..) which doesn't appeal to me.

You said your friends "will" stop playing, but they're playing again now right? So what happens the next time they decide to play again? Are you going to go through the whole Transfer ordeal again? Best to just create another character on 'their' server and be done with it.

Having a second character isn't a bad thing, even if you only play from time to time with your one main. At the very least, it will net you some more free DDO Points due to reaching the Total Favor thresholds that are on a per server basis.
