Bioware announced that testing is currently going well and it is their intention to bring back Character Server Transfers online together with the release of Game Update 5.6 on 28th November. Not only that, but due to a popular demand, the service will once again be cheap for a short period of time before it goes up to its intended level – 1000 Cartel Coins. The 90/150 CC discount for character transfer will remain until the maintenance for Patch 5.6.1 on 12th December

Alright folks, here are the updates as I mentioned yesterday!
- Timing: We are in the final stages of testing and assuming that all goes well, we are going to bring transfers back online on Tuesday with Game Update 5.6.
- Pricing: By popular request, we are going to bring transfers back at the pre-United Forces pricing (90 // 150CC) for a limited time. After that time they will go up to their new standard pricing of 1,000CC.
I will let you all know on Monday if we are still on track for transfers to go live again on Tuesday and the exact timing for the sale pricing.
