A recent update, version 1.2.40.0, has been rolled out for the survival massively multiplayer online game, Dune: Awakening, bringing with it a much-anticipated feature: character server transfers. Players are no longer restricted to their initial server; they can now relocate their characters and all associated belongings to a different Sietch and World.
This new functionality, announced by Funcom, permits the transfer of characters, inventories, saved base structures, vehicles, and all bank assets, including the in-game currency, Solari. Each player is granted a transfer token, which refreshes weekly, allowing for one server migration every seven days. This development is a direct response to player demand, as many sought this feature to escape sparsely populated servers, address faction dominance issues, or simply to join friends on other game worlds. While the article notes a discrepancy in the game's launch date, the arrival of this transfer capability is a significant enhancement.
To initiate a character transfer, players must be in the Hagga Basin region and utilize either the server browser or the in-game system menu. It is important to note that transfers are not instantaneous and may take several minutes to complete. A crucial restriction is that characters cannot be moved from private servers to official servers, but transfers from official servers to private ones are permitted. If a name conflict arises on the destination server, players will be prompted to change their character's name before completing the transfer. Funcom advises players to meticulously back up all bases and vehicles using the provided tools and to store all valuables in their inventory and bank to ensure a seamless transition.
This update empowers players with greater flexibility and control over their gaming experience, fostering a more dynamic and engaging community within Dune: Awakening. The ability to move freely between servers not only enhances player interaction and community building but also ensures that the game world remains vibrant and accessible to all, promoting a positive and evolving environment for adventurers on Arrakis.
