The headline feature of R15 is the reintroduction of player-controlled character transfers. This system allows you to move your hero between servers while keeping your hard-earned levels, inventory, and even your followers. For players who have felt stuck on dying servers or want to join friends on a different shard, this is the mobility fix the community has been waiting for. However, there is a catch: to prevent technical hitches and potential exploits, you must leave your Clan before initiating a transfer, and there is a cooldown timer in place to prevent jumping back and forth too quickly.
Beyond just moving characters, Funcom is preparing to address low-population worlds directly. Select console servers are scheduled for merges throughout May 2026. This consolidation aims to breathe life back into the Exiled Lands by ensuring players encounter more rivals and allies during their travels. If you are currently settled on a low-pop server, now is the time to start planning your move or preparing for new neighbors.
While the update is a massive step forward for server stability, the developers have noted a known visual data error during the transfer process that will be patched in a later hotfix. For those looking to move, the process involves a specific export and import sequence within the main menu. This update proves that even years after launch, the meta of Conan Exiles is as much about the community's footprint as it is about the base-building and survival mechanics.
