This would not solve the problem, just move it around, or cause queues (and that is what got us into this problem in the first place).
What Bioware is giving us: conditionally free transfers.

It'll be largely unacceptable to most of my remaining guild. We're not going to move from a dead light server to a borderline dead 'standard' server, just because Bioware tells us that's where we have to go for free.
Quote:
But it won't be a dead server after the transfers, will it?
We're customers, and we have no shortage of choices. I'm not asking for free continual willy nilly transfers (although hey, Trion and NCSoft offer this), I am asking for UNCONDITIONALLY FREE first transfers for every character.
So you get transfers, and you still bi**h.
Please go play your games from Trion, and NCSoft....

Do you think they want everyone transferring to Swift, Fatman, or Tomb? By designating certain servers as free transfers, they can build up other servers to capacity and then move on to others. Its not really a hard concept.

But yes, if you are just dying to get on to one of the full servers, you have the option to pay for it
Am I wanting to move to Fatman? No, what I would like to do is move my characters from a West Coast server to an East Coast server. And chances are? I'm not going to be able to do that. Or how about the people who started playing on a type of server like PvP or PvE and find they want to move? I know a number of people who at launch went and played over on one of the RP-PvP servers only to watch their guild leave and they want to move their characters from that server over to the one they play on now. And I'd bet good money they won't be able to do that.

Know what? I would be happy if BioWare just offered one or two free transfers to whatever server we want. More so then that I'm sure most of us would like to see transfers come out much, much sooner then early summer. The more time BioWare sits back and waits is more time that players are going to get fed up of being on low pop servers and just leave to their old game or whatever the next best thing coming out is.

Perhaps if you held your breath a really long time they'll give you what you want, along with a lollypop.

Here's a thought....WAIT UNTIL THEY RELEASE THE ELIGIBILE TRANSFER LIST.....before complaining.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

If this plan executes to fruition - which is indeed, gross speculation - rest assured I and the remnants I am able to con into continuing to log in WILL.

It's not a threat. I don't WANT to leave. What I want is a transfer to a server I know will be reliably heavy load. Not light, not standard, heavy.

So.. if they start by offering free transfers to: 1 PVE and 1 PVP server in West Coast, East Coast, and Europe - then you would be happy yes? I doubt they are just going to through darts at the wall of crazy with server names written on it to pick them. I imagine it will be a bit more strategic, so people like yourself will be happy.

Saying it's coming "early summer" is so vague.so more months of wait for warzone every 15-20mins(then 5v8) not being able to flashpoint , ops and grp daily quest ,but still paying the same as player on high population severs who can enjoy there game and moan on forums.great

My issue isn't with subscription games. Not sure what that has to do with anything.

GW2 open beta this weekend and Tera releases this weekend.

My main problem is I have 3 50's and down on a dead server. I'm playing on Fatman right now and I realize I won't be able to transfer there. So my choices are to write off those 3 50's for good and continue levelling all over again on Fatman or do nothing until transfers happen and hope the new server I'm able to transfer to is halfway decent.

They just did transfers for the Asian-pacific servers, which means the process is in place....why the delay?

Too little, too late, if You ask me.What should I do on dead server, slack on fleet for few months and miss new content ?

You cant be serious BioWare, You just fail after another fail.
