1) when transferring one or more characters from Server 6-10 to Server 1-5 will each character reappear in exactly the same map location?
example A: if character is standing outside a house in a specific Homestead will it transfer to same location?
example B: if character is standing on landscape in a lvl 50+ hunting area will it transfer to same location?
Your character will be moved to the EXACT coordinates you were in when you logged off.
That said, if you logged out inside of an instance, or inside a house that you no longer own, you will be moved. That place is either going to be the last place you were before entering the instance or house, or the nearest "circle of life" from your log off location. If for whatever reason the system cannot place you where you left off, whatever the reason may be, you will just be moved to the nearest circle of life.
2) when transferring one or more characters between Servers 1-5 will each character reappear in exactly the same map location?
See above. Every character will be placed on the exact same coordinates they logged off with.
3) after transferring off dying world will all Swift Travel Routes be remembered?
Yes.
4) after transferring off dying world will all Lifestone Ties be remembered?
Yes, and when you use them you will be on the exact same coordinates you used to bind to that milestone.
5) can we permanently keep name-1 , name-2 ... example: One-1 , Two-2 , Thing-1 , Thing-2
Yep. As long as you wish. Till the end of the game if you want.
6) maybe better question is what will be lost after server transfer.
If all goes well, nothing. Your vaults, shared storage, housing items, wardrobe, currency, shared currency will all be moved over. There are however a few things that might be lost:
Examples:
- You have an item inside your house (or kinhouse) that is bound to another player on another account, and THAT player has moved away from the server before you. Since it was bound to that player, it will be destroyed. Therefore I would recommend that you return those items BEFORE anyone is allowed to move. (Example: I had a big Tower of Orthanc from someone outside of my kin, and it was bound to him. I returned it to him a week or two ago, but I think he had moved away from the server a long time ago, so it likely got lost. Either way, it would have been lost since it was always bound to him).
- You have mailed an item to a player some time ago, and this player has not claimed it. When you move your character, these items will be lost if the person on the other end does not claim it, ever. They will not be returned to you on another server. Be careful with this, now that mail is set to 6 months, anything you mail will be in someone's inbox for 6 months before it is returned, and you will most likely be long gone from the server. So if you mail something to someone, make absolutely sure they will actually receive it. (I would be careful with that anyways, chances are that people will take advantage of that right before they move, go somewhere where they get a free rename token, and you will never find them again.... so if you get nice tells that say: "sure I will make that first ager for you, just send the symbol and shards", make sure you trust the person because next thing you know they may log off, and split the server.....).
