It’s been a long road, but we’ve finally dinged 50! Episode 50, that is.

- Winner of Knives of Artemis costume code: Flick Guy
- Free character transfers until the end of January:

- Ends: Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST (2:59 a.m. EST)
- These are moves, not copies. You can move a character back with the same restrictions and caveats
- You cannot transfer characters between different accounts — same account only
- You can do up to 6 transfers a week. This could be anything from 1 character transferred 6 times back and forth between 2 servers, or could be 6 characters to different servers in any combination

- Lose Supergroup affiliation, prestige, and items
- Lose server friends list, but keep global list

- You may lose your character name if it is already taken on the new server. No warning is given, but you are given a free rename token. If you already have one character on the destination server you can do a name lookup check at the login screen.
- If you have a one or two letter/number name, you will loose it forever. The servers currently only allow three letter/number names.
