Fortunate or not, I started on The Bastion server when the game was implemented, but I went on to other pvp servers (all west coast) to create other characters which I also ended up advancing. I am more Imperial on one server, more Republic on another, and then a handful of characters on the last two which allowed me to get the names I wanted with the classes in which I was interested.
Then the server transfer announcement happened. All of the pvp servers on west coast were being consolidated into a single server: The Bastion. I actually deleted lower level characters to make room for some of my characters on other pvp servers, but it was not nearly enough. I still have 3 servers mostly or half full of characters, none of which had any alternative for transferring. Not surprisingly, that meant that any character "left behind" was not eligible for transfer rewards. I asked for weeks to have an alternative, but my posts keep getting deleted. I'm not flaming anyone. I am not some kid who needs placating. I am a paying customer who is expecting quality service. I never stopped paying for your service, even when the bug list was long and the players were few.
Yet, here I am still with characters "stuck" on servers which could not participate neither in the transfer nor the incentive reward program. For PVP RP options, we had two options: RP or RP PVP. For PVE, there were multiple options as well.
What is the issue with PVP servers that the characters had to be consolidated into a single option? Was server space a consideration that you could not have offered us either alternatives or paid options beforehand? Your lack of vision leads me to believe the younger audience who comes and goes whimsically with the inception of new games had the right idea. The coins are a poor attempt to make up for this.
Typically any ticket we create generates a canned answer, many times wholly inappropriate for the ticket request. I do not have any expectation of a human response, but I hope you at least read this with the maturity of a company that expects to have a future with people new to Bioware.
