Unlike a live server transfer, this simply copies the character to the new server, leaving the character untouched on the target server. These character transfers have no cost associated with them (other than the Beta server being accessible only to VIP players), and can be done at any time using the [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/charactercopy.php Character Copy Tool] on the [[Official Forums]].
