11/6 Update: We've made the move. Come join us on Averheim!

From the looks of it, Mythic is going to be shutting down some low population servers in order to have higher populations across fewer servers. Guess what? Drifting Castle is one of them. We have the option to transfer our characters to one of four different servers: Red Eye Mountain, Averheim, Bretonnia, or Ironfist.

The North and South Alliance have all moved to Averheim. So, we all need to discuss moving as well.

Here's the details on character/guild moves, direct from Mythic's web site. It looks like we can transfer the guild, its rank, and renown points. So, no loss there. What could be difficult is that we'll need to have six members online at the same time to restore it on the new server. I realize many of us have been away with the holidays and such, but hopefully we can pull everyone together.

What will transfer with your character

Experience, Rank, Influence, Quests, Tome Unlocks, and everything your character has done will be saved.

Armor, weapons, inventory, and everything in your character's bags and bank vault will be saved.

Your character's Name will be saved unless it is currently taken on the destination server. You will be notified in the following transfer steps if your character's name is taken, and if so you will be given the option to reserve a new name on the destination server.

What will NOT transfer with your character

All of your character's mail messages, mail items, auction house bids, and auctions will be deleted. Please move any items you wish to keep out of the mailbox and auction house and into your character's bags or bank vault.

Your character will be removed from its current guild. If your character is a guild leader, then please see the "My Character is a Guild Leader" section below.

Your character's friend and ignore lists will not be saved.

My character is a Guild Leader

Currently, there is an option in game to transfer the Rank and Renown of your guild with your character. The /TransferGuild command is available only to guild leaders on transfer enabled servers and can be used to save the Rank and Renown of your guild onto your character.
Using /TransferGuild

All current guild members including you will be removed from the guild and the guild will be deleted. All claimed keeps, calendar events, and guild vault contents will be deleted. Your guild Rank and guild Renown will be saved to this character, and the next guild you create on your new server with this character will be created with the saved guild rank and renown. All previous guild settings will be reset, and you will be able to choose a new guild name, guild tactics, and guild heraldry.

Please be sure to move any items or coin that you do not wish to be deleted out of the guild vault and into your or another character's bags before confirming the guild transfer in game.
