Thanks for nothing with Transfers

So the hype of GW2 is better than the reality of SWTOR?

Big deal.

I'll wait to see if the reality of GW2 is better before spouting rubbish.

Merge servers Bioware. It's not fun playing an MMO on a constantly "light" server.

Dude they have server transfers already implimented. Before release.

BW has had 5+ years and they still don't have that.

Am I still speaking rubbish mate?

Seems like if you were desperate to transfer and knew they were doing it soon that you had every reason to look at the front page once in a while... if not every day. Hard to hold everyone's hand in an mmo.

Sure, because when I'm deciding if a game is "awesome" I decide it solely on whether they have character transfers available at launch.

Right, because server transfers are what makes a quality game, amirite?

For the record, I just got done downloading GW2 and will be playing this weekend since I pre-purchased it, but you're being ridiculous and, yes, are speaking rubbish.

Sigh... OBVIOUSLY I'm not basing my opinion on GW2 over server transfers.

It's just inexcusable for BW to be incompetent for this long, while other companies take care of BWs shortcomings before the first beta is even released.

That says something.

OMG !!! They are preparing for the game to need server transfers on the front end??


Sounds like they are just preparing to have to do server mergers heh

Or just being a smart company and being pre-emptive about server populations, whether it be a lot or a little, this is always a smart decision.

Or they could be BW and make 10 servers, then 100 when those 10 fill up, then wonder why 80% of their servers are ghost towns..

That's much better.

Here's the thing: when you write something on these forums, you're hoping other people will read it. That's the point. So how you present what you write is going to have an impact on whether people WANT to be bothered to read what you write. You might have great ideas, but if they're presented as a wall of text, a lot of people will just skip everything you have to say and move on to someone who's willing to put more effort into it.

Also, these forums aren't actually intended to be a place for people to vent. They're intended to be a place for people to discuss SWTOR. When people get very emotional and start ranting and raving (i.e. venting) their posts tend to be edited or deleted. The reason is simple: venting isn't actually constructive for anyone and just serves to spread ill-will around. It's one thing to discuss a policy, raising arguments for why the policy should be changed, and a different thing altogether to scream how you HATE HATE HATE THIS &#^%&^#%# POLICY GRRRRR KILLKILLKILL. Just a heads-up. I'm not saying you did this, just addressing something you said about venting.

This is simply friendly advice - I'm not hassling you or making fun of you, just trying to help. You're of course free to take it or leave it.

***

Server transfers/mergers are coming, though we don't yet know the details. The devs have repeatedly said that this is a very high priority for them though. I know, you'd prefer to have the details... fair enough. I hope they finalize their plans soon and share them with us.

I haven't yet seen anything about my 30 days free, either. But I won't get upset about it until I have reason to believe that everyone else has received it and I have not.
