  1. I need a pair of them rose-coloured glasses you're wearing.. All I see is BS completely failing to acknowledge how monumentally they missed this whole transfer up.
  2. There are lots of part sets on the market right now and the ones I have are not bound.
  3. Sorry, the sarcastic distaste for what is actually happening wasn't apparent in my comment.
  4. I'm over here, I moved all my characters but absolutely cannot convince friends to return given that they have to pay to transfer their old characters to play on this server. I even paid for my daughter to be able to transfer her character that she's only ever played on a preferred account over Just so we could all play together. It's a hard sell convincing people, too, play a 12 year old game It's a much harder sell convincing people to return when they have to pay the equivalent cost of a current release game to move their characters to a local server. Every transfer I did took less than three seconds It's a tiny file transfer that should be free for all regional players. I really don't want to have to say too broad sword we told you so..
  5. The Emperor is trying to return yet again but to facilitate his return a populated planet currently in game must be annihilated for Everybody through all time! If you don't choose the entire galaxy will be destroyed. All quests and essential stories will be moved to other places on other planets because that planet never existed in time, some people with a connexion to the force know something is missing and there will be relics left over but there's no mention of it anywhere, It doesn't exist and it never did people from that planet are replaced with others very similar in personality and abilities... What planet in game do you destroy and why? I'll go first. Voss. Caught in a civil war with two completely unreasonable races This outsider would not miss any of their prejudice underhanded comments. Even when saving them from annihilation rather than using your title they refer to you as Outsider because you're never accepted you don't belong and shouldn't be there. Every quest is you must do this now go! We didn't need your help, but you must help! Voss are more than happy to use technologies and resources from other places, But anything that is Voss stays Voss and nobody has the right to use it. Every time I get to this planet in game it's like crap... I avoid it for a couple of weeks then I suck it up and get through it as quickly as I can I would not miss this planet if it was destroyed tomorrow. Please feel free to dispute Or add reasons If you agree to any suggested planets by quoting the suggestion. Think another planet deserves Annihilation more?
  6. What frontline said! As long as you delete the level one with the name you want before you log in to your other character you're set to go.. I guess using your free transfers to move over to a server outside of your time zone that will have lower populations during your prime time Picking up some bargains then paying for the 1000 credits to transfer back It's the same as the cost of a name change and you get some cheap items to take back with you!
  7. I have to ask myself, considering we haven't received any feedback on this thread for over a month Are they just using this thread as an unread dumping ground for anybody who didn't agree with their decisions And all the decisions made with SV and transfers are final and not going to change.? Would it be better for us to start new topics in threads that not only we as subscribers, but preferred players can participate in? "New Player Help, Introductions, and Bug Reports sub-forums". I ran forums with over a 500k members for 17 years And we definitely had threads and even sub forums that we just didn't bother paying attention to and only when something got lots of attention did we go and look. You'll notice less and less important posts are getting likes in this thread because less people are paying attention to it. If we want to get free transfers for returning APAC players in the future we need to start a thread in new player help And all of us need to be liking and thanking the posts in that thread so they can't ignore it and it will allow returning players to participate. The same goes with people who didn't get 16 free transfers due to credit card updates and other reasons posting and replying and liking to this topic in the bug report forum will force them to pay attention rather than just ignore it like they have been in this thread. If you make one of those posts, link it back in this thread so we can all go and support it.
  8. You're right they might see my actions as a win. But hopefully I demonstrate that it's not that I just want something for free I wanna play this game, and I want what's best for this game. I will continuously remind them as a subscriber playing on this server from Australia how Unforgivably wrong they were in almost all of their actions. If I just quit and go away we both lose. I've been involved in this project for longer than every developer I've seen post And half of them were still in school when I signed my first NDA with Lucasarts at E3 in 06. APAC's needing free Transfers is about what will be best for the game not just my personal need. giving free transfers to players who actually want to play on this server long-term is way more important than giving free transfers to every long-term subscriber regardless of the location To promote a short-term fresh start failed experiment. I'm hoping to demonstrate to them that Australians/ APAC's do want to play on this server. Hopefully, they can be convinced to offer returning APAC players free Unrestricted transfers to bring players back. It won't take long for BS to realise how ridiculous the credit restrictions were and how horribly wrong They were with who they offered free transfers to and the restrictions involved. Somebody above them is gonna ask for statistics on this server launch and they're going to have to scramble to recover. Our voices as subscribers playing on this server have way more weight both here and on other social platforms..
  9. I agree that 15 million was never enough for players actually wanting to move to SV to actually play on SV but at the same time it's proving to be too much for the tourists moving 16 free alts to dump stock and buy as much as they can at a cheap price. I estimate I'll take about a 50% loss after I've sold all the stock i purchased for the sole purpose of selling on this server and yet all the day to day cost of living is the same, All the special items unlocked from the market are the same price as on US servers and it's going to be a long time before we see the market settle down. I got sick of swapping servers and bit the bullet and purchased some cartel coins for the first time to transfer my last 6 characters 8 in total, one of each class leaving three low level characters behind. As I unlock more coins, I might create new characters to play and transfer them over with unlocked legacies bank slots and 15 million credits from what I have left over on the US.
  10. Yep, you can transfer off for 1000cc That's why this whole process has been a complete waste of time. Billions of credits have been moved here by players whose sole reason is to look for bargains. I think this economy is going to equalise with other servers before the three months is up.
  11. I'm doing well just selling crafted items. The market is going insane at the moment all the Armor sets and mounts are currently listed for insane prices, Nobody's paying 50 million for anything on this server when you can get the same item for 20 million on US servers. I think it's gonna be months before this server settles down.
  12. To be honest, I'm absolutely not surprised this is happening, because we're not talking about 15 million limit We're talking about a 230mil disposable income on a tourist server. People are transferring over 16 alts With 15 mil each for the purpose of looking to make a quick buck to transfer back or Unload stock. And the returning players who actually want to play on this server didn't get free transfers. The server's empty because People who got the free transfers only need to log in once a week to check the Market. I am selling crafted items at exactly the same price I was selling them on SS This tells me people are very comfortable with how many credits they have for their day to day use..
  13. That is exactly what I'm doing. I had enough to move three tunes over, and we'll unlock or earn the rest. First of all you're one of the few players I recognise that I've actually seen in game! It's a ghost town yet There are five pages of 10 to 15 million credit mounts.. The problem we have is not the 15 million credit limit It's the 16 free transfers to people who are not making this server there forever home. Being able to transfer 200 plus million to a use on a server along with God knows how many other mounts and other stuff and not actually "needing" to sell the items to play the game is the problem I'm listing gold mounts for anywhere between five to 10 million and I've sold about four in that price range at least two seem to have been relisted for much higher prices. for my items If they don't sell, I won't be dropping the price because I don't need to sell them They're all mounts I don't actually have unlocked I'll use them myself that's their value to me I'm making a constant Income from crafted items. I think what's happening is we are seeing market-Players taking the opportunity of this new server to try and move a massive backlog of items. 16 free transfers just added a extra market for them to list banks full of items. It is in the best interest of the credit farmers to keep the market as unrealistic as possible to ensure there is a high enough demand for what they're selling In the real world. It's interesting to see crafted items, especially ones that require reputation to unlock are selling as consistently and for roughly the same price as they do on US servers. But yet the "Returning APAC players" have either chosen not to continue playing due to the ridiculous time or real world cost requirement of moving, Whether it be waiting for CC to move like myself or others or looking at their options and not even reinstalling the game, because there's no reason to They're not getting free transfers.. I still think the only chance this server has is for them to offer free transfers to all returning APAC players with a subscriber history giving people a reason to reinstall to move their current characters is just like a puppy dog sale, Once they log in again, there's a much greater chance they will resubscribe. At the end of week one there is next to nobody actually playing the game on SV I'm questing on three different characters in different stages of story and have been lucky to see one other player in any zone I enter. They will blame the lack of interest the lack of actual players and anything else for this extremely underpopulated server. Broadsword will not take blame and admit they were wrong in every scenario. I think it's going to take quite a few months to see how many actual APAC players end up playing on SV I'm having to play on two servers to unlock as many coins as I can to move. I'm not going to be able to get involved in guilds, raiding and other Social parts of the game until I've been able to properly move. With the very few players I've actually encountered, I have been surprised that the players are from other countries like Singapore The players I've spoken to in Singapore are able to get a sub-100 ping so The potential available player base is way higher than I realised. In the Singapore, Malaysia region and surrounding areas on the same connexion to Australia has a population of about 80 to 100 million..
  14. When I transferred my first character, it was there before I could click on the history button in less than three seconds.. That was a 12-year-old character that had a 100 per cent full inventory and bank. The next two I transferred took about five seconds. It's simply moving a file automatically That would be under 100 megabytes. There is zero cost in this process. It's one 100% a cash cow. I've helped run servers for Star Wars Galaxies and even characters there with all their houses and thousands and thousands of items were under 50mb each.
  15. I'm talking about things I've actually sold on SV this Not just the current listed prices I can't craft fast enough I've sold mounts for millions higher than I paid for them on SS maybe people are comparing prices on other servers to take the items back? I've made more credits than I will be leaving behind in three days I don't believe it will settle down until the free transfers run out And by then there will be so many credits on this server it will be no different to any other.
