On September 13th it will be possible to transfer characters from the x5 Realm to one of our other Realms - x100 or xFUN - for free, and therefore, starting September 13th, you will not be able to create new characters on the x5 Realm anymore.
What will happen next
We do not yet have a deadline for how long the transfer will be active and when the x5 Realm will be closed, so do not waste time if you want to save some characters from this realm.
We have the intention to open a new low-rate realm in the future, but that will be a completely different story.
