Hi there Planetmans, During our maintenance this afternoon, we reactivated the Auraximas III Directive to run to through January 18th. We have never reactivated a holiday directive in such a way in the past, and in doing so, all previous progress towards the directive has been lost. We looked into the possibility of restoring this progress from backups, but that process could potentially take days and cause other types of progress to be lost. Given these drawbacks, we have decided not to attempt to restore progress on the directive and apologize to those who thought they would have a lot more time to complete the holiday directive this year. We apologize for the missteps in communication and the progress that has disappeared with the reactivation of the Auraximas event. We may bring The Little Helper shotgun back in another way so that players will have another opportunity to unlock it in the future. In the meantime, we'd also like to mention that the PS2 team's priorities have s... Read more

Connery <--> SolTech Server Transfers We are activating the ability to transfer characters between the Connery and SolTech servers. You can do this from the Character Select screen. If you select a Connery or SolTech character then an option should appear at the bottom of the Character Select screen next to the Play option. When it is clicked the game will process a transfer for your character from Connery to SolTech or SolTech to Connery. Please be patient as this can take a moment. We have done our best to test this system but would recommend you attempt the transfer with a lower value character first and keep an eye on our messaging channels; the official PlanetSide 2 twitter and this forum to see if we are running into problems. We plan on leaving this ability to transfer characters between these two serv... Read more
