Q&A
[p]Q: In regards to the Base Backup Tool, what does it mean when we say "nearly all of the base's contents can be stored"?A: The Base Backup Tool will store everything in your base including sub-fief consoles, decorations, storage containers as well as blood purifiers and water cisterns (and their contents), and crafting benches. However, anything not placed directly on/in your base will not be stored, such as a light or storage container placed on natural rock. Additionally, vehicles are not backed up; we recommend disassembling them and storing the parts in your bank or base storage if you’re bringing that with you. [/p][p]Q: Can we pocket a base and move it to the Deep Desert and then back to Hagga Basin?
A: Bases can only be backed up in the Hagga Basin and then only re-built in the map they were backed up in.[/p][p]Q: Will we be able to backup 2 bases, or only 1?
A: You can store one base per Backup Tool you craft; so you could store all of your bases.[/p][p]Q: Will Funcom provide a list of the servers that will be merged well ahead of time?
A: While we can’t divulge much information on server merges right now, we will be releasing communication ahead of time that details more of what you can expect.[/p][p]Q: Will the character transfer allow you to transfer from an official server to a private one?
A: Unfortunately as of this time you won’t be able to transfer characters between an official server and a private one. If news on this changes, we’ll be sure to keep you all informed.[/p]
