FREE Character Transfers are Coming!

I understand your point of view but those players have 2 months to become aware of the upcoming free characters transfers in early summer, 2 months! If their guildmates are really guildmates with the "leave no woman/man behind" mentality, they'll send to them messages about it. Plus, I bet that Bioware will send to all of us an email about that transfer program.

For the players who never were in a guild and unsubbed, what can we do? They just left so they temporarily aren't a part of the SWTOR community anymore.

For their own good, they should come up with trasnfers before those free 30 days they gave us expires

Let's see. I suppose that a lot of players subscribed for the 6 months period, that'd mean that a lot of players are subscribed until the mid or end of June. You add the free 30 days and we end up in the mid or end of July.

That free characters transfers, when does it happen? They say "in early summer" so that'd be in the end of June or beginning of July. Yeah, that should work...

I just looked over it briefly and I really do not see Devs explaining in detail how legacy name transfers work. I saw a community Question and Answer with one question relating to these transfers. The answer from the dev is quoted at the beginning of this thread and no more information is provided in the Q & A. I also saw a Dev post about the Asia-Pacific character transfers but that, again, does not discuss Legacy names.

I asked for a link because I cannot find the source. If I am missing it, please help me out. Telling me to go find it on my own is not working sorry. I guess I'm dumb, I don't know. But again, provide links, not useless posts.

Ctrl+F is your friend.

Here's the post. Also has a link to the appropriate FAQ.

Yeah, You suppose, thats only thing you can do.But I can tell this, game cards are cheaper and more favorit for poeple.

Anyway, poeple can cancel their sub anytime they want.

Never set my accounts up for recurring subscription. Just buy 60 day time cards at a time for SWTOR.

It was nice getting a free 30 days, but I only have 50 days left on my subscription. If free character transfers are in early summer, that means at least mid June before we see anything.

I am a member of Asphyxiation on Kinrath Spider. First 3 months our guild had 2 weekly running ops groups and even a 3rd rag-tag one when enough was online.

Now, our server is crickets.

Maybe about 15-90 imperial lvl 50s on everyday/night (type /who 50 to see how many active 50s there are). I don't talk about imp/pub fleet population since it has no bearing on population of the server over all...its just a place ppl sometimes park their guy.

Anyway, the only thing I really look forward to now are the two days our ONE remaining ops group continues to run for the new Denova content and thats pretty much it. It takes a fair while before solo/group pvp qs pop which is kind of sad now. Dailies grinding isn't my sort of thing either.

I could re-roll until character transfers are available, but that really just isn't fair to me or others in the same situation. I have 2 50s that I enjoy(ed) to play but have no wish to start from scratch in a new server without my guild mates either.

Come May 15, Diablo 3 is rolling out. I dunno how addictive the game will be, but I think a majority of gamers will pick it up too. I have no idea how this will bode for SWTOR and players trapped on a dead server. If transfers aren't made available ASAP, well, I feel like SWTOR will lose a large number of players due to the fact they no longer have anything fun/social to do in game on a dead server.

That's interesting. I'd like more informations. How cheaper are the game cards compared to the 6 months subscription? Aslo, what's the ratio of "game card players" vs "6 months subscription players" in SWTOR? Thank you in advance!

Yeah... the 6-month is actually cheaper per month than game cards. That's why I do it, and it's recurring.

What a garbage game GW2 beta is currently under stress test OPEN beta weekand and we ALREADY have free transfers with hundreds of thousands slamming the servers LOL swtor is dead the day gw2 launches considering my fleet usually has 120-150 on at this time and has 15 currently while the other 135 wait at the gw2 login screen.
