Pretty much every activity in the game can be done cross realm, the world is sharded, PvP has its own toggle. I must have paid at least Euro in total just for moving character through the years.
And it is pretty laughable. It is a job that probably takes less than 5 minutes to do manually. Everything on my character is connected to my character, so one would assume that my character is just a file with a bunch of codes which represent all my items and so forth, now just move that from 1 realm to another. Probably not because with a better system they save money, companies will automate everything they possibly can automate to save money.
Or are you thinking PvE to PvP server etc? Even then we have warmode. Once in a blue moon they offer a reduction on service costs. Did it work well before? It would be a pretty big gamble for people to make use of those transfers away from a highly populated realm.
This kind of opacity seems purposefully designed to prevent consumers from finding the most cost-effective option. Most prison systems appear to have outsourced money transfers, but there are still some that handle these transactions in-house. Several states still process money-order payments sent through the mail.
We also identified four states Arkansas, Maine, Montana, and Texas that accept online payments through a general-purpose state-operated online payment platform. Interestingly, Arkansas recently added Access Corrections as an alternative to the state-operated payment platform.
The vast majority of states around 45 still allow people to mail a money order at no fee. The vendors that hold correctional banking contracts earn their profits from fees charged for payments made online or over the phone. Do we trust them to promptly process money orders for which they receive no fee revenue?
If their terms of service are any indication , the companies seem to reserve the right to deliberately delay money-order processing. These take-it-or-leave it documents known to lawyers as contracts of adhesion are ubiquitous in modern life, but they take on a particularly sinister role in the context of prison money transfers. We all agree to boilerplate terms when we use services like Gmail, Netflix, or Amazon.
None of these safeguards are applicable to correctional money-transfer services, where the company controls a critical service for incarcerated people. Terms imposed by the dominant money-transfer vendors are replete with objectionable, misleading, and unfair provisions.
The current system is complicated, inconvenient, and expensive. Different people have different opportunities to address these problems, as explained below. It may seem like family members have no leverage in this unfair system, but there are some things they can do to advocate for change. Last but not least, money-transfer vendors themselves have the most power to address problems in the industry they have created.

Show me the money: Tracking the companies that have a lock on sending funds to incarcerated people We looked at all fifty state departments of corrections to figure out which companies hold the contracts to provide money-transfer services and what the fees are to use these services.
Table 1: Shows the results of a survey of all fifty state departments of corrections. The table shows which companies if any hold the contract s to provide money-transfer services for the system.
Each agency name links to its policy. Table 2: Shows the lowest available online money-transfer fees in states that offered more than one option. Each state name links to its policy. Mailed payments are still an option in many states The vast majority of states around 45 still allow people to mail a money order at no fee. Seemingly intentional degradation of money-order payments. As noted above, sending a money order is obviously slower than making an online transfer, but in many cases it can be cheaper.
But companies seem to go out of their way to make money-order payments arduously slow and plagued by uncertainty. But many customers might be surprised that the terms of information sharing are so broad that they vitiate any kind of reasonable safeguards for consumers.
Poorly designed services. Several miscellaneous provisions indicate how poorly these companies carry out their operations. Dispute resolution. A lot of us are forced to agree to arbitration provisions buried in the fine print of consumer contracts. But these clauses, which prevent consumers from going to court to vindicate their legal rights, are especially troublesome when the company imposing the provision has a monopoly on an essential service.
Family members of incarcerated people It may seem like family members have no leverage in this unfair system, but there are some things they can do to advocate for change. Complain about high fees or poor service. Your state attorney general may also be able to investigate certain abusive or deceptive practices. If the relevant prison system has an ombuds or office of family support, send a copy of your complaint to them as well.

If it has not been implemented by the time you first check, please do not worry; check back again later. Please follow the instructions on the screen. If, as a result of the introduction of the World Transfer service, the number of characters in a World grows too large or too small, we may look for people to transfer to a different World.
We may also consider dividing the overcrowded World or combining underpopulated Worlds. In such a case, we may ask for the cooperation of characters who transferred to such a World through the World Transfer service in transferring to another World.
At such a time, we will not be able to make any refunds or World Transfer service cancellations. Thank you for your understanding.
