Update 1.03 is now available for New World. The developers at Amazon Game Studios have said that this update will lay the foundation of the server transfer feature. After some testing, the said feature is now available in all regions.
How to Transfer Your Character to Another Server
If you want to transfer your character to another server - because you want to be in an entirely new environment or want to be where your friends are - do not worry, the feature is very easy to use.
There will be a new tab in the in-game store that lets you acquire the server transfer token. Before you can use it, you must leave your Company (if you have any). Next, if you have placed anything in the Trading Post, you must remove them before making the transfer as these items can be lost during the process. Lastly, you need to be located somewhere safe, either in the Sanctuary, settlement, or outpost.
When all of the above conditions are met, your progress, items, currency, and housing decorations will be safe.
Do keep in mind that the initial server transfer token will be free. While you can move to another server at any point, the subsequent tokens may require you to pay a premium.
Patch Notes
Other than the server transfer feature, there are a lot of improvements and bug fixes in Update 1.03.
