If you have an account open they're giving out some quite valuable
freebie gifts too depending on the age of your account. Shard
Transfers, soulstone fragments, 7AE gifts and even the 200 luck
necklace.

It's worth making sure your email is up to date with EA.

I want the 7th Anniversary gifts and it kept giving my Luck Necklaces!!!
one account gave me the damn character transfer token, and I
accidentally clicked on it, now the tranfer option will not go away from
my screen.
Support replied
"Once a transfer has been initiated, it cannot be stopped. You will need
to complete the transfer to some shard. This is entirely hard coded and
may not be cancelled in any manner by the in game GMs. Nor can the
transfer be "redirected" to another character. If you accidentally start
the transfer on the wrong character, you will need to complete the
transfer, and then transfer back if so desired."

This is just bull, does this mean I will need to fork out $19.99 to EA
just to remove that annoying "Start Character Transfer" gump?

That's a shame you probably could have sold the transfer token for
a few million gold. I have no idea how to cancel the transfer. That's
got to be annoying.

If you want 7ae gifts I'm sure you'll be able to trade your luck
necklaces for them. Geeze, this is all free stuff. What's to complain
about?

Yes it is, I play UO on my laptop most of the time with 1280x768 res, so
don't really have space left for the gump

Not that easy, I have been looking for people to trade at Brit Bank last
night with no luck(how ironic...), seems to me everyone on my shard has
a luck necklace now

Not exactly free @ $15.99 per account
I just wish the selection process can be the same as choosing rewards

I've had the same thing happen to me...my GM told me it had to be dealt with
by a high-level GM or something. Annoying... I think you could park the
gump under your paperdoll if it gets in your way.

It is blessed and won't ever wear out. If only they'd made it faster. A
Holy Sword Katana would have been nice.
