Mostly these are things like appearance armor and house items though there are a couple of XP boost potions. Just recently they also added items you can purchase that will allow you to do a name change or a sex change as well. So, yes, basically this is dropping the cost of the server transfer from the old cost of $50 down to $25 and providing you a way to initiate that transfer from in game. The way Station Cash works is you buy points, much like XBox or Wii points, you then spend those points from an interface in game. The cost of the points is roughly a penny each so for $10 you get 1000 points. Most of the small fluff items sell for 500 points and the appearance armor sets sell for 1000. I don't remember what the name change and sex change ones sell for but I'm thinking it was around 1000 per. The system was also added to the original EQ but I haven't gone in to look at the type of stuff available there.

(IE is this change 'only' a ratcheting-down in cost from the previous $50 charge for char xfers? or is there some other thing in there that's new?) “Another addition to Station Cash will be the ability to do an automated server transfer for $25.”
