Okay so i know that deleting all characters means free server transfer BUT a friend of mine told me that Bank items stay. I have a skin and a lot of items i want to save so i wouldn’t like to lose them.
As i said, friend of mine told me that bank item stay but i rode on forum that bank gets wiped too. Is there anyone here who knows 100000% that Bank gets restarted or it stays?

Thank you a lot

Yeah, your bank items stay because your bank is account wide so all charcters can access same one. I did the same thing to go from one server to another, deleted my one character and got to new server an created new charcter then checked bank an all my stuff was still in it. Only time you would lose stuff is if you were transfering a guild from one server to another then that guild bank goes poof an everything in it as well.

One note: I think the guild bank remains on the old world, and is there if the guild transfers back at some point in the future. I stand to be corrected if I’m mistaken, but that’s my understanding. Anyone know more about this for certain?

UPDATE: I’m going to track down the answer to that question.

And thanks to you guys for posting the info on the world transfer and its impact (or non-impact) on the account bank.

The guild bank remains on the old world, if you transfer back you can get those items. Even if you transferred your entire guild. The only time the guild bank goes poof is if you delete your guild.

Alternatively you can invite someone on that server that you deem trustworthy give them bank access and have them mail the contents of the guild vault to you.

Very help info, Draygo, and it sounds as if you know what you’re talking about.

Thanks a bunch!
