If another character in your destination game world has the same name as your character, there's no need to worry. Your character's name will be appended with -1. If that is taken, the name will be appended with -2, and so on.

If this occurs, you can change your character's name for free (one time). Be sure that it falls within the code of conduct and is not being used by another character in your chosen world.

The belongings and history of the ownership of your house will go with your character to the new world. You will receive a mail that contains an attachment of currency equal to the house's purchase cost. Furthermore, all of your items will be in Escrow Housing Storage. Any character-bound items will be returned.

Housing Storage Upgrades persist with your new home when you have a new housing chest. If you are moving all your homeowners, remember to transfer the account-bound storage from your former server to get your decorations on the new world.

For normal homes, storage capacity will be preserved and applied to the house you decide to purchase. Your new home will start fresh with upkeep, ownership time, and a grace period time.
