Overview

Transferring to other warzones enables commanders to find a more appealing battleground to continue playing.
There are various reasons why commanders may wish to leave their current warzone, and transfer surge gives this opportunity.

When the event starts, its detail page is accessible through the Season Celebration menu, and initially it shows 3 tabs.

Frequently asked questions

Let’s immediately address some frequently asked questions:

1. I am in server 45, can I transfer to join my friend in server 1230?
   No, you can only transfer to warzones that are in your same warzone transfer group, as a very average rule consider that you cannot jump to servers that are lower or higher than 16 numbers from your server number, because the warzone transfer group is composed by exactly 32 adjacent (some servers might be skipped) warzones.
2. If I transfer to a new warzone and I don’t like it, can I immediately go back to my original warzone?
   No, once you transfer to a new warzone you have to remain there until the new Transfer Surge event starts, and it usually starts after the next season. So to go back to your original warzone or to any other warzone you will have to wait for the next Season Celebration (~ 4 months)
3. Does the president of my warzone have to authorize me to leave my warzone?
   No, to transfer to another warzone you don’t need approval of your warzone’s president, but you need the approval of the president of the warzone you are tranferring to.
4. Can my whole alliance transfer to another warzone?
   The Transfer Surge event is designed for commanders transfers, and not for alliance transfers. You can however organize with your alliance members to apply to the same warzone, and even arrange some agreements with that warzone to make sure you and your allies end up in the same warzone. But there is no way of transferring the alliance, it is simply a transfer of single commanders.
5. Is there a limit on the amount of commanders that can join a warzone?
   Yes, only a specific amount of commanders can transfer to a warzone. Additionally the transfer is based on rules that take into consideration the warzone and the commander strength. Everything is explained in the next paragraphs
6. Is there a limit on the amount of commanders that can leave a warzone?
   No, there is no set max amount of commanders that can leave a warzone. Obviously there is an implicit limit of the number of commanders that can be accepted in other warzones, but there is no explicit limitation of commanders leaving a warzone.

Schedule

Prep

The prep days are there to get you used to the warzones to which you can apply for the transfer and to understand the dynamics of the transfer. The game offers a lot of suggestions on how to prepare for the transfer

Transfer Scores

Transfers are governed by a scoring system that aims to maintain a balance between warzones.
Each warzone and each player receive a transfer score at the very beginning of the Transfer Surge event. These scores can change in the next Transfer Surge event.

Individual Score / Status

Based on the Individual Score, a status is assigned to each commander, in ascending order or power:

1. Follower (white seat) :
2. Pioneer (blue seat)
3. Contributor (purple seat)
4. Elite (gold seat)

IMPORTANT: The transfer score thresholds for status categorization may vary between warzone groups and different Transfer Surge events. See an example below, in the images both commanders was categorized as Followers.

This means that you can be a Pioneer during a Transfer Surge event, but that you could be categorized as a Follower the next Transfer Surge event. This is very dynamic and it depends on your warzone and your transfer warzone group overall progress.

The status ( Follower / Pioneer / Contributor /Elite ) of a commander is very important because it determines to which warzone they can apply as we will see in the next paragraphs.

Warzone Score

Transfers rules based on status and ranking

Now that both the status of a commander and the warzone rating are defined, let’s see the rules for transfers.

Given a warzone rating there is a fixed amount of commanders with specific status that can transfer to that specific server.

IMPORTANT: these numbers could change in the future, only devs know if and when they will change, so always check the in game data.

	Follower	Pioneer	Contributor	Elite
Warzone Rating
Fully Open	80	60	8	2
Semi-Open	60	40	5	1
Limited Open	40	30	3	0

The rules you see above will most probably ruin your hopes of your whole alliance members to move all together to another warzone:

1. the seats are the total amount of transfers available, unless you had a very good agreement with the president of the target warzone, it is highly probably that not all those seats are available
2. given an alliance, especially if ranked among top alliances, the amount of Pioners, Contributors and Elites is usually higher and therefore a transfer of a all members of an alliance is probably impossible.
3. all your alliance members could transfer out, but probably not all to the same warzone.

Transfer score won’t change the number of vouchers needed.

Transfer Vouchers

To transfer to another warzone you need 50 transfer vouchers .

They will become available in the Alliance Shop (max 3 per week) a few weeks before the first Transfer Surge event happens on your server, but given the limited amount of time you will not be able to collect 50 transfer vouchers. So the first Transfer Surge event you need to purchase with money some transfer voucher.
