Yeah, I dont really care if the transfers are free or not.
In fact, ill pay 100 € right now to get my characters out of Ula Wii server.
Population at Fleet caps at around 20 on peak hours, barely can get a warzone together anymore...

I suspect some transfers will be free and others will not. For example, Bioware might have select low populated servers free for transfers. Whereas transfers from normal or high populated servers would be paid.

But.... I'm just guessing...

Honestly if anything it should be the other way around... People need to be staying on lower pop servers to increase the population, there should not be an ability to get off those free. If it was free, those servers would tank in a day guaranteed.

Also, if there are any free transfers at all, it should be to selected lower pop servers to balance things out. If there were free transfers, they should be limited and not be to high pop servers.

You will not get a free transfer, ever, unless you live in a region they haven't yet opened servers.

Ummm.

You do know EA's name is on this game, right?

Free transfers will never, ever happen.

Honestly, you'll most likely see this game go Free2Play with a Cash-shop before that.

And I don't think F2P is far off. Once EA sees the money GW2/Diablo etc. make, they won't be able to control their desire to micro-transaction their customers to death.

This is exactly right, imo.

Bioware doesn't want to close any servers. IMHO, it would be better to offer free transfers from the heavy server to lighter ones...to try and even out the population.

If they offered free transfers off of lower pop servers, everyone would up and transfer to an all ready heavier server....emptying one and potentially over crowding another.

Looks like I'll have no reason to resub when/if they ever offer server transfers then.

I'm from Malaysia.

I've 1 toon that's 50.
He's gonna be a war hero soon. I did this without doing some lame *** Ilum valor trading.

I have about 4 hours of play time every night.
Make no mistake, I love this game.
I don't want to re-roll. I'm happy with my toon.

I log into my server, I see 15 person on IF, it puts me off.
I can't do my heroic quests, I can't find people to do stuffs that I want to do.

Then server transfer option open'ed for an oceanic server. There's 4 country on that list.
I didn't realize there's only 4 countries in oceanic. Even when I'm geographically 30 miles off one of the country listed.

Give me server transfer.
Take my money for server transfer, I don't care, just give me my transfer. I'm not even gonna wait for the free transfer, my friend's interests are waning. I had 8 friends with me at the start of the game, and now? I'm left with 4 that still consistently log in. What do we do? Run ilum for armaments circling the mid for 1 hour while waiting 3 hours for pvp to pop. By then I'm too tired to even complete the required 3 matches, because I've work the next day.
It might seem like ranting, cause to some degree it is. But please do not punish me for not being strategically located.

Give us server transfer!

Please allow character transfers (free or not). I want to transfer to a populated server. I'm tired of never grouping for heroics, never doing FP's, never doing HM FP's, waiting forever for a PVP queue, looking all week for an ops group, being one of 5 people on a planet, never finding anything on the GTN, etc..

That's fine in theory, but in reality there is only ONE European PVP server that is anywhere near full capacity (TOFN), and NO ONE I mean NO ONE on that server will want to go ANYWHERE.
