well it's not Bioware fault either.

It is however their fault to not act and merge servers, or propose free transfers from and too imbalenced population servers.

i know one thing, now that ive seen and messed around a little with the new stuff in 1.2 i now more than ever want to have server transfers so i can put my family together. I really hope they do it soon or like someone just said that they were losing interest in the gsame, i wont lose complete interest but it def makes me want to play less.

I had two subs; both cancelled as of today. I have a lot of gripes about different things in this game. However, no MMO will ever be perfect; and the gripes I had were tolerable.

However.....
  • playing with the same 20 people
  • having 10+ minute WZ queues
  • being unable to find a FP let alone an Ops group
  • having a completely dead GTN
  • no world PvP

....is game-breaking. I was planning on playing both GW2 and this game; however, I've grown so sick of this game due to the above listed things that I'd probably need a free server transfer for all of my toons on the same dead server to even consider re-subbing.

Unfortunately I think we will be seeing more and more of this now that 1.2 is out without server transfers. I wont quit but ive had alot of problems with guild recently and cant seem to find one that is clicked up and is genuinly nice and helpful to new players joining, at least with the more hardcore guild for RAIDing or PVP. Which has forced me to be guildless and the game is alot less fun with noone to play with and talk to on vent/mumble/team speak wutever. All that on top of the server transfer problems is putting a dampening on my SWTOR spirit as well. I really hope they do something about server Transfers soon

Yeh i mean heroic 4's have absolutely no chance of being completed. Everyone's either rerolled or quit which leaves the few of us who actually play to basically play by ourselves. Where is the MMO in that :P I'll go back to playing all alone and cry on my cruiser
May the force be against you!

There is no question anymore are transfers needed since even Bioware acknowledged now that they are , the question is only when they will happen and from my personal opinion the sooner the better since players which invested a lot of their time into their characters might become frustrated and quit the game if they dont happen soon enough.

I personally dont mind paid character transfers but I agree with the posters which said that they could consider allowing us at least one free transfer every 90 days and that first one might be free since its in no way players fault that situation on the servers changed and some of the servers which where full at start in early access now becomed dead.

I got on one such server my character with level 30 legacy and 5 million credits and I feel very bad that I cant move that character on some proper server especially now when legacy benefits are introduced and when 1.2 is live.

Why was this thread closed and linked to this one?

It's not even the same topic.

Why did Mod Averran point the now closed thread about lvl50's getting 30 free days as a **** you to other players who haven't to this thread???

This thread has nothing to do with it?
