Playing the Once Human beta made me nostalgic for TSW so I decided to redownload SWL only to find I could also play TSW still. Which made me happy because I had a lifetime membership (preordered) and I played TSW a lot back in the day. (My guild was gearing up for the Tokyo raid then it got delayed and delayed and delayed and soon everyone stopped playing.)
I’ve downloaded both TSW and SWL and I like the feel of TSW better than SWL (I always loved TSW’s combat. It felt like a proper evolution of MMO combat with dodging and dual targeting.) but it seems like there’s no one around.
My old characters all got moved to Daemon, so I don’t know if I’m just on a dead server or what but there was one afk person in Agartha and I know that used to basically be the hub for activity.
My question is what servers are most active for both TSW and SWL and can I transfer my character between those servers.
Also, if I do the legacy transfer (I think that’s what its called) to move my lifetime membership to SWL, does it erase my TSW one?
Secret World Legends has the higher population of the two versions of the game by far.
You cannot transfer your characters directly between TSW and SWL.
The Legacy Transfer is no longer available, but if your SWL account still has the Vanity Transfer available, then you can submit an account/billing petition after initiating your transfer in order to have the Lifetime/Grandmaster membership transferred to SWL manually. They will honor that lifetime subscription.
When you do the Vanity Transfer, a snapshot is essentially taken of all the cosmetics learned and in the appropriate wardrobe/pet/sprint inventories on your TSW characters. When you claim your TSW vanity items on a SWL character, that SWL character is granted copies of all of those snapshotted items. No items are lost from TSW in the process, and no characters are actually transferred through it.
The membership transfer will not remove your Grandmaster status from your TSW account, please don’t worry about that!
Thanks for the reply. That’s kinda what I figured, but I wanted to be sure. I played a bit of SWL and agartha was definitely more active. Guess I’ll have to get used to it.
One thing to note if you are going to petition for lifetime patron transfer thing, don’t hold your breath, I know people who petitioned for it years ago and still haven’t gotten it. They might get to it before you expire of old age. Or not
