I've looked for an answer to this, and can't immediately find one, so I'm asking here.
I have three accounts (yes, I am a loser). But I want to transfer characters from my first two accounts to my third account (I want to consolidate into that one account, since I never play more than one character at a time, I have trained them all as much as I want to for the moment, and I will let the other two accounts expire to save money).
I know that if I transferred (sold) a character to someone else, that character couldn't have any "significant" assets with it. But since I am transferring the character to myself, would I still be able to keep their assets? I would think I could, since the real-life 'owner' isn't changing. Is this true?
Thanks, in advance. |

The rule about significant assets is there because you are supposed to sell characters, not assets. But there is nothing forcing you to clean out your characters before selling them.
In your case you can absolutely keep everything on your characters. You do not break any rules.
However, the characters you transfer must be in NPC corps because the system refuses to transfer them otherwise.

Just contract all the stuff your other two characters have to your main before you transfer the characters.
Problem solved.

Edited by: ISD IonCharge on 23/04/2011 09:09:10The specific rule is:  Quote:
Items cannot be listed among the character's valuable assets, only skills, implants and reputation. You are buying/selling the character ONLY and nothing else. Ships and items can be readily bought on the market for ISK.
You can, however, include assets if they are not part of the sale, e.g. the price you pay is for the character only. However since you are not selling it, but transferring it between your own two accounts, this does not matter and you can include any assets you like. edit: Just to clarify further. That rule is in place partly for the scenario that should something go wrong and a GM need to reverse the character transfer, tracking assets which were part of a sale becomes a very difficult task, and if they have left that character's possession (e.g. been sold on the market after the transfer) then you can see why there would be a problem. However because no assets (apart from implants, since these cannot be traded away obviously) may be included as part of a sale, that scenario is not a problem. |

This character was transferred to my main's account with all of its assets still on her and I had no problems. You should be able to do the transfers just fine. They only do the restrictions on character sales, not on you simply transferring characters between your accounts. You still have to have the characters in an npc corp to transfer them, like mentioned, but this is true in all transferring cases. |

There's many items that can't be bought on the market for ISK readily. Take that! (i.e. supercaps or t2 bpos :P) |
