God thinking about leveling on koriban again all the way up to Alderaan makes my stomach hurt lol I duno what to tell you, I'm not an alt sort of guy so when I roll a toon I like to stick with it, especially if I've put time into it. I guess I'm lucky tho because the server I'm on is decent on the pop issue. Not super awesome,but decent. I guess if I were in your shoes I'd reroll on a heavier server and play a class you hadn't tried yet, maybe even the other faction. That's just what I'd do tho, can't say what's guna work for you.
That's right, i pre-ordered the CE. If you think that I think it makes me better than you, what you need to realize is that I thought I was better than you before the CE even existed.

Actually simple way around this is open up the name to be the character name PLUS the legacy name... they could even allow you to pick a legacy name from the start of a server, rather than level 30ish....or at least reserve it.. or something.... cause let's face it... how many names AND legacy names will be the same across servers? Some, maybe... but not as many as regular names.

I started in early access to get this name!!!!" See my comments in red. i agree that will become a problem with server mergees is that names will be crossed, for example i got Nick on nightmare lands in early acess and would hate to be forced to change it to something else simply cause someone who is merged on the server has it. but transfers are not enougth server merges are needed, bioware can allways reactivate the old ones if the population grows large again, but it wont while people are struggleing to find anyone to group with.

Transfers smacks of "its too hard for BW to do" "we are scared of what people will say" Transfer, theres no legacy problems, no legacy on the new server... make a new one, start at legacy lvl 1. transfer, Already unlocked a legacy? join it put your three lvl 50's into a lvl 5 legacy Transfer, someone got your name? pick a new one. All nice and easy for BW but I want a company that will go the extra bit, do some extra work to make things better. I dont have all the answers, I know my server is desperately quiet and I dont want to log in one day and see half them transferred out to unknown servers. Quoted for truth. Exactly my thought on Legacy. It'd obviously sucks for people with high legacy level but you need to be realistic and you might have to give up on time spent on legacy to have transfer. And to be honest... Knowing what happened with Star Wars Galaxy... I can understand why they are scared of what could happen... But on a positive note... In their FAQ, they confirmed caracter transfer in "future".. And it was in February.. And I remember reading something from a dev "near future". And when you type "Swtor caracter" in google, result suggestion is "swtor caracter transfer".. Can you deny google? Yeah, exactly.

I made the mistake of rolling on a PvP server just because it had a high population. I would definitely take advantage of moving to a standard pop PvE server.

I'll quote my previous post: Come on people, I know we all want this fixed, but to just say "I'll pay you more money if you fix it so it works the way it should." is like asking a mugger "Can you shoot me again so I'll give you the rest of the money I have?". *Transfers should be free!* I agree It should be free! there are Dead Servers all over the Game and its due to the Lack of CS and P.V Player Value! I feel they are doing a good job in Advertising the Game but there needs to be more to draw the people to play!. and more reasons to play. Like 100% operational Customer Service and Tech Support team 24/7 would make people Say will if something happens I'm good just "Call" them and talk it out. but they don't even have a Phone Service. this in it self is a big turn off for most players. and I'm on the Dead-wight server and that is just what it is Dead Wight! there are maybe only 18 people on at a time in the Republic Fleet and Whats the most populated Place in the game That is BAD!!!!!! they need to Shut Down about 5 or 6 Servers that have no Population and transfer those people and guilds to a more populated server and then people will be happier. This must Change.

lol some people actually complain about having to reroll a lvl 30 toon /facepalm What about us that have a toon since prelaunch? I support the server transfer, don't get me wrong on this!But 30 lvls is nothing :P I just started to lvl a new toon in another server since my first one is becoming a "bit" quiet!
I feel a great disturbance in the horse!

A paid server transfer has merit, but free transfers are a massively bad idea. If one is to switch servers, it should be infrequent and have some meaning. If people could switch anytime, for free, at will anytime they please, they would and it would be absolute mayhem for constantly in flux server communities. Free transfers CAN NOT happen.
