Yeah it's pretty lame when you're stuck with only about 4 other people on a planet that either are too far above or below you on level or simply wan't to play solo.

Also why don't my characters share the same friends? Or maybe there's just something I have failed to grasp,

Not gonna pay $15 a month to play the game by myself.

Well servers for AU go live tonight with emails for transfers to be sent next week.

Guess my pleas for more info are not important enough for a response despite the 100,000s of views across the threads raised around this topic and so many people wanting this.

Can say I didnt try ... looks like my friends and characters will remain in EU regrettably till the time they open server transfers to all.

Thanks everyone for their support.

I support even paid after a few times of use I know there is going to be a few who abuse the system and that will make it suck for the rest of us.

/support!!!

I do live in South korea and Aus. have similar time to us , and i hear ppl who choose them location to HK, Singapore, and Australia will receive emails to tell how to transfer the chars.
But how about people in Japan and south Korea and all countries have similar time , how they will move? or can they move?

Chill out on requesting paid transfers they are comming. Think of it like this: The demands you are making can easily be boiled down to: Bioware, please give me more ways to give you more of my money. Everything is going according to plan, Bioware needs to see how faction balances and server loads are going to work and they cant get valuable stats on that if people are flying around different servers. At the moment, I suspect this info is more important to their long term goals then making a quick buck today.

Don't be greedy like Blizzard.

Be like Trion Worlds and give back to the fans who have made you what you are.
My boyfriend is Aus... I'm US, I want to be allowed to xfer as well.

Would love to see a transfer system much like Trion had. I was able to xfer all my characters to a new server free when my guild leader moved the entire guild in a transfer.

Actually, balancing the servers and giving us more people to play with will give them more money.

If I have to pay to xfer all my characters to be with my boyfriend, they won't get more money, they'll see me walk as I go back to DDO where I can easily be with him and not have to worry about the issues we've run into here.

I like it more here, but I don't want to have to sit paying 100$+ to get all my characters moved to a new server. No thank you, I'll take that subscription money, and go to a game that appreciates me enough to keep me interested and entertained.

Don't go for the quick buck, go for keeping us playing by not being like blizzard.

I support this as well.

When I first got into the game, during early access, I chose a "standard" population server, wanting to avoid the capacity limit queue times. I thought I was being wise and responsible Alas, My server never seemed to increase after that point. Now, it's ghost town with low-level planet populations averaging 10-15 people (High level? haha. I was either alone, or 1 of 3 people on planet.. starting at alderaan) and the fleet hovers between 11, and sometimes up to 35. This means finding Heroic quest groups, FP/OP groups, etc. is nigh impossible. Not to mention, lacking any sort of community (which they're so trying to build/protect, apparently) as there is no one to commune with. (ha)

I rolled a character on two other servers, which were more densely populated (Ajunta pall being "heavy" and Zaalbar dabbling with Standard), but having already leveled 2 characters all the way, and a handful of 20-30s, for a total of 6 characters.. I really don't want to have to endure the process again, especially not for a class I've already played through.

I think server transfers are an absolute necessity, especially for those of us stuck on servers that are light 90% of the time. Perhaps it was a mistake to open so many servers without the player base to adequately populate them - condensing them would be nice, however maybe some don't mind never seeing a group.

I don't even mind losing my legacy name - although, there is no excuse for losing the experience - I am somewhat attached to it, but being able to experience all content is more important. Surely if Blizzard can figure out how to transfer you with all of your items/rep/currencies, in a smooth seamless manner, Bioware should certainly be able to.
Moreover, I don't mind PAYING for it. AT ALL. As the lack of other players severely limits my MMO experience.

Let's put the massively in MMO.
