Character Data Migration Between Servers

What to Do If Data Transfer Fails?
Try Reissuing the Code
If data transfer is not successful, it might be due to an incorrect transfer code entry or similar issues. Try reissuing and entering the transfer code again.
Check the Transfer Method
The procedure differs when transferring between the same OS and between different OS. When transferring between different OS, it must be done from the in-game settings, so be careful.
Recovery Transfer Code Password?
Reissuing the Code
If you have forgotten the transfer code password, you can reissue the transfer code, and at that time, you can also reset the password to a new one.
Unable to Create Password
Even if you cannot issue a transfer code password, you can set a new password by reissuing the transfer code.
No Password Transfers
Password-less transfer codes cannot be issued. In the past, there was a method to issue password-less transfer codes from the in-game settings screen, but currently, all are unified to password-required transfer codes from the User Center.
