World Transfer Questions

[One Elf]

I got afew questions I couldn't find a clear answer for.

1: I want to transfer my main to where my alt is but the world isn't showing up. Am I not allowed to transfer a character to a new world if I have a character there already?

2: Do retainers lose all their items when I transfer? They only simply say "you must rehire them".

3: Can I have a link to the "preferred worlds"? I will transfer to a specific one but I would like it if I knew if I could transfer for free.

4:Does it take more than a day to world transfer? This too wasn't answered well on the main site.

Thanks for any information. Primarly the first question. I don't want to pay for 2 transfers and I don't want to delete ether characters as they are bother in later SB.

1: From where to where? Do you have Entry sub(max 1 character/world)?

2: Your character must rehire any retainers carried over from Version 1.0. Retainers and all items in their possession will be transferred along with your character if they were made after 2.0.
