Character Unlock
Character creation in underworld is free, but to learn new skills and abilities the character needs to be unlocked. Unlocking a character in any guild requires a one-time $15 fee. Character unlocks can be purchased in the Underworld Global store, found on this website. Until the character is unlocked, no new skills or abilities may be purchased and the character will remain at level 1. If you’re a new player, the unlock fee may be waived for the first event and can be paid on your second event. Please include the character name to be unlocked in the order comments.
Character Transfers
Transferring characters between Underworld LARP Guilds will incur a $35 transfer fee. Character transfers can be purchased in the Underworld Global store, found on this website. Please include the name of the character being transferred and the desired destination guild in the order comments. Characters must be approved by the destination guild along with all items the character possesses and the character will not be transferred until that approval is received. Underworld Global will reach out to the destination Guild on your behalf, or you may speak to the guild directly and ask them to contact Underworld Global with the transfer approval.
Common Questions and Answers FAQ
1. When a brand new player creates their first ever PC in Underworld, do they pay a character unlock fee?
Answer: Yes, but we waive that fee until their second event. This allows us to keep our “first event free” policy for new players.
2. When a player wishes to transfer their character from one guild to another:
a) How often may they do so?
Answer: There are no restrictions on how often you may transfer characters between guilds. However each transfer requires a separate approval by the destination Guild.
b) Are there any costs breaks for individuals who must move because of their job (Sales People, military, RCMP, pilots, etc.)?
Answer: No. All Fees are standard and apply to everybody equally.
e) When must this fee be paid?
Answer: This fee must be paid prior to your character being transferred to your new guild.
g) Will my character get down statted?
Answer: Not automatically, however individual guilds may impose level caps. In this case, you will be unable to transfer your character to that new guild if the character is above the level cap. Each individual guild may have a way to accommodate “too powerful” PCs.

Answer: No. You only require permission from the guild you are transfer to.
i) What are the reasons a Guild may deny my character transfer?
Answer: A Guild may reject a character transfer for any reason, but an example of why might be related to high character level.
3. If a player wishes to visit another guild for one event with their character but not permanently transfer:
a) To prelog, should they contact the guild they are visiting?

Answer: Yes. Experience is earned at all guilds in the same manner and with the same restrictions, namely 2 experience blankets applied at maximum per month on each character.

Answer: It’s possible, if there is a Guild policy to down stat based on their average level and any level caps.
