Yellonde players got owned wanting to transfer out

However, people who intended to use Demethos' 2x and then leave, are now warned that they will not be permitted to do so.

I wonder what that will do. Will they ditch those characters asap? Or will they decide to make Demethos their real home?

There's a third option.

Play till the end of the event, and then play on another server or Demethos itself, until they DO allow server transfers. Eventually they'll be allowed to leave and they will.
