If they had to clear the name, i am guessing that would clear your legacy levels as well?

If this is the case then this will make me very angry that we are lied to like this by Bioware PR team. A guild mate based outside of the designated area's changed address to an Aussie one and then submitted a ticket, the person responding to him confirmed that if he changed address before the closing time then he would qualify. Whether or not this is true will be seen as soon as they start allowing the transfers.

The same way that if your character's name has to be changed, you don't revert to level 1. A friend of mine unlocked his legacy weeks ago, and has yet to choose his name. He is still accumulating legacy levels, though. The name is just a bit of text, and can be cleared/changed without affecting the legacy itself.

Whether they do so for the free transfer to the new Oceanic servers is another question. It can't be the whole account; what if a player has toons on multiple servers already? So a given server would have to be nominated if a mass-transfer was being offered, which it probably will be. But long-term, it seems to me that they are going to have to come up with a per-toon transfer, given it's the norm in all other MMOs that offer character transfers. I 100% agree with being allowed to only move one toon. The problem is, i don't think that will be the case with switching this time. As for if you have toons on multiple servers already, i guess they will all end up on the Realm you choose. I think thats going to be the price you pay if you want to move. I hope i am wrong i really do, cause i would love the option to just move a few toons.

If we transfer to the new Oceanic server's can we still maintain toons on the US server's ? In other words if I move my main to an Asia Pacific server can I still have a toon on Kathol Rift where my I play with American friends on weekends Seems crazy I know but the US server's are DEAD when I play, so warzones and Flashpoints just dont happen

It's not a case of moving accounts. An account is site and game-service wide. To have a seperate set of "accounts" for Asia Pac players is contradictory to how EU is setup. I mean, EU servers have maintenance at the same times as US servers and EU players use the same site-wide account we do, they just use a localised (where supported) client and have their servers and support infrastructure on European soil. It will be no different for us, there will be a local support number, the servers will be here and qualifying characters will be being moved on an individual basis as opposed to a group. To not wipe guild tags, legacy names (i suspect) would create a whole bunch of unnecessary (time to implement vs return) complications that can be solved by just removing those couple of character flags. Even if it might not be optimal from our point of view, we still get to take our toon, our bank and so on with us.

As discussed already in this thread, they just need to work out the little complication of legacy XP when moving individual toons from one server to another.
