Search Options ►Account Teleporter Discontinued
Site Update
Account Teleporters are now discontinued. Existing ones can be opened up into 15 GP, the cost of buying one from the GP Shop when it was originally released (as well as a Blue CD, since an item had to be included).
Their functionality required tinkering with the database with a number of SQL queries, and they were not worth the risk to the data. Each instance of executing one carried potential data loss with a single mistyped letter.

BD -- Keep in mind that it'll be retired rarity now, and potentially valuable to collectors. :)

Well thats unfortunate. But also kind of intense that only a single wrong letter would cause so much issues...

Wow, I bought one for 25GP in December and sent it in so I could move my stuff from the account I had to my new one. My stuff was never moved. Now I don't have enough GP to buy a scroll of transportation and cannot move my clothing to my new account, this is terrible. u.u

It seems like switching that blue CD for a scroll of transportation would fix most of the problems, but that might be a bit unbalancing-y. Maybe a new temporary transportation item specifically for moving accounts? I hope there's some way to fix at least most of the bad things this is causing, since it obviously isn't an option to just let the horribly dangerous thing keep being used.

You were doing this by hand instead of with a script? >.>;

Pretty disappointing, but I think it makes sense... But trading post will make half of work easier, I guess ^^

sads a bummer it was discountinued :c woogie and already bought one each, so that's a total of 20GP wasted :\\
it makes sense I guess though - thanks for informing us c: and atleast giving us back a certain amount...

Understandable because of the potential loss... but so many levels of disappointment. Now I wasted GP to buy one and have to waste GP to get a Scroll of Transportation or just leave all my wardrobe items behind, items which already have a lot of funds dumped into them.
