I just posted the same suggestion... I assume that happens at least once per day But I just saw this... basically it means they are working on it and it should have been here by now but it wasn't quite ready: "MMORPG.com: Are for-pay server transfers coming? If so, when can players look forward to this service? Can you talk about any additional for-pay services players can look forward to? Cory Butler: Paid Character Transfers were originally slated to be part of Game Update 2.1, but we ran into a few bugs with the new Legacy Achievement system. You can expect Paid Character Transfers to be coming in hot on the heels of Game Update 2.1. No new announcements for paid services to make at this time." -- http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/367/feature/7403/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-Cathar-Update-21-Free-To-Play-.html

I think this is a great idea as well. Frankly Blizzard did this in WoW and it really took a lot of the drama out of playing with pick-up-groups.

Amen, sister. I'm no stranger to PvP, but frankly I don't want to waste my increasingly limited gaming time dealing with random gankers. Also, for me it's the combination of no longer wanting to play on a PvP server and not wanting to level an alt on another server because the alt will not benefit from the "Legacy" stuff I have built up on my PvP server. In that way, the "Legacy" system is actually counterproductive in my case (but would be extra-productive if there were paid transfers!). I don't work at Bioware, but if did I think I would be thinking that a project to add this service would offer a clear path to profitability and would make the most important customers (the kind that want to spend money) happy. I would also think that the SWTOR team is not really in a position to pass up an opportunity like this, considering the product's relatively underwhelming (financial) performance to date (making an assumption there, I don't know the finances). So, Bioware folks, am I close? Seriously, do you have a CFO? Go ask them to estimate the net present value of the project and compare it to the other projects that are going on. I bet it's a no-brainer. I also bet it wouldn't even delay your other projects much since you already have some or most of the technology required to do this (see: server consolidations). Just finish the job so that what was obviously a HUGE loss (having to consolidate the servers because of the huge drop in player populations) can turn in to a profitable investment. rawr!

I purchased on July 21, but didn't know about the whole redemption thing so my actual date is August 5. bs if you ask me!
