The New World team has given a brief update on server transfer, a promise feature they laid out earlier this week but have not yet released. A post has been posted on the New World gaming forums. It provides updates on how it went, what it will look like, and why it was delayed.
A character will receive a token from the in game store. They can then use the token to transfer to another world that is not full, in maintenance, or in the same area as theirs. All of your progress, currency, houses and other items will be preserved. However, you can’t keep a company membership or friends list.
It takes so long to implement. “During testing, we discovered some edge cases in which the transfer experience did not meet our standards. TrevzorFTW, community manager, stated that this means we will take extra time to resolve these issues before we are able to give everyone their server transfer token.
