Once Human: How to transfer your character to Way of Winter server

With the release of Once Human's new map in the Way of Winter scenario, players are wondering if old characters can play on new servers. The answer to that is yes, and unlike server transfers, there is no payment involved to transfer your character to new seasonal PvE scenarios. If you've come to this guide during the release of a new seasonal scenario, it usually means that the process is just a few menu clicks away.

Before you delve into the guide to learn how to transfer your old Once Human character to the new Way of Winter seasonal servers, note that this process is irreversible once you make the jump. There's no way to go back to your Season 1 servers once you've landed on the new map.

How to transfer your old Once Human character to new Way of Winter server

Go to the Phases page from the Seasons menu (Image via NetEase)

To transfer your old character to Way of Winter, first log into the original Once Human server with the intended Meta in it, and load into a game session. Once there, you'll have to go to the pause menu and find the Seasons screen.

Usually, it will be a panel on the top-right denoting that your Season is at Phase 6, the wrap-up phase of a season where the game nudges you on to sign up your character for what's coming next.

Clicking on the season page will automatically take you to this Phase tab, where you can press F or click the "Sign Up" button to proceed. This will give you the option to select The Way of Winter, after which you can select which server to sign up for.

You can sign up for upcoming servers in advance to reserve a slot. If space is available on a live server, you can also get into it to start playing on the new map right away.

This will preserve your character model and cosmetics, but reset your level. You can reclaim most of your old crafting materials, currencies and consumables from the Season's Settlement, or choose to do a soft restart altogether.

Looking forward to the new Season? Here are all the new deviants you can find in Way of Winter.

It's possible to jump into the new Once Human Way of Winter map with a brand-new character. However, the game recommends that you port over your existing character to a new Way of Winter server instead. The game limits the number of characters you can create on a per-account basis, so it's best you port over one of your dormant Metas.
