I too am a recently returned player who's gutted to find my whole legacy is stuck on a dead server. As someone who's been a sub for a long time (I left my sub active as I always intended to come back), I totally refuse to have to spend £40.00 or whatever just to be able to enjoy the game properly because my server died while I wasn't playing. What happens if I do and that server dies in a few months, do they expect me to pay again? Surely devs would realise dead servers leads to lost players? You might get 1 in 10 paying for a transfer but that's hardly a retention rate any business would, or should, be aiming for. Surely it makes sense when an active server population drops so low (if there's 20 people in fleet it's a party!) to do free transfers to another server so those players might actually stay with the game? I see a few replies of people who say just start over. No, I've ploughed so many hours into those 13 or so chars and leveling up my legacy, not a chance in hell will I redo it all when it can easily happen again. Plus it's unfair to put players in the position where they may have to abandon all progress and start again due to poor server management. Simple message to devs - either offer a solution or lose players (after 4 days back I'm on verge of leaving again due to this issue).

I really hope they add this soon. As a long standing WoW player it's so frustrating to join a new game which is mostly awesome but have silly issues like being unable to read the skill trees for my characters, see what items I have in my bags or see what a party member is saying in chat (although I just found out from this thread you can change chat size, that's something at least). If it wasn't for this issue I probably would have cancelled my WoW subscription, as it is, I've been debating whether to stick around on WoW until Pandamania, WoW is winning in that debate until this changes. Btw - My eyesight is fine
