Applying for Odin World Emigration (Nov. 1)

With the increase in Odin World population, we have decided to invite players to emigrate to the following worlds.  If you wish to emigrate, please follow the instructions below and apply as soon as possible. World Emigration differs from the World Transfer service in that there will be no need to purchase a World Transfer, and the 90-day exclusion from the World Transfer service will not apply. *Characters who have already used the World Transfer service within the last 90 days will still be able to participate in World Emigration, but the 90-day exclusion from the World Transfer service will still continue. [World Emigration Guidelines] Applicable Worlds: -Odin World Application Period: From Nov. 1, 2007 1:00 (PDT) to Nov. 12, 2007 7:00 (PST) Destination Worlds: -Remora World -Hades World Emigration Schedule: Transfer date: Nov. 12, 9:00 (PST) World emigration will coincide with the server maintenance occurring on the same day. Following maintenance, emigrating characters will be transferred to their designated Worlds. [How to apply for World emigration] When the application period begins, an NPC called the World Shifter will appear in each of the following areas. By talking to this NPC, you can apply for or cancel World emigration, and confirm your character's emigration status. Please read the World Shifter's responses carefully before submitting an application. Ru'Lude Gardens (I-10) Port San d'Oria (I-8) Port Bastok (L-8) Windurst Walls (G-6) *Note: After the application deadline, you will be unable to make any further requests for World emigration. How to confirm your World emigration status: During the application period, a login message will appear indicating your World emigration status. If you are already logged in, you can view this message by entering "/smes". Please be sure to confirm your status before the end of the application period. *Message displayed when applying for World emigration: "You have submitted an application for World emigration." *Message displayed when not applying for World emigration: "You have not submitted an application for World emigration." [Important Reminders] If you are considering applying for World emigration, please read the following points and apply early to ensure a smooth transition. When emigrating: Emigration of characters is done one character at a time, not one PlayOnline ID at a time. If you request emigration for any of your other characters, please conduct all applications separately. Character name: If your character happens to have the same name as another player in the destination World, you will have to change your name before entering that World. If you need to change your name, your name will be shown in yellow, and you must follow the on-screen instructions. This name change will not affect your Friend List. Delivery Box/Auction items: All items up for auction and in your Delivery Box will be lost when you emigrate. Please collect these items before moving. Any items in your inventory and Mog Safe will be transported with you to the new world. Regarding used linkshells: Linkpearls or pearlsacks cannot be transferred over and will be destroyed in the emigration process. However, the linkshell owner will automatically receive a new unopened linkshell upon arrival in the new World. Regarding the exchange of old linkshells with unopened linkshells: If a linkshell owner emigrates, the player's old linkshell will be deactivated and a new unopened linkshell will be automatically provided. If you have an unused linkshell, you may bring it to the new World.
