You ever think about joining a guild? I mean if you insist on doing pick ups then ya you will be disappointed.

1.7 million as of last count, but that's just active accounts. Though they may not have to move them, the developers need to have a system in place capable of transferring all accounts made in the game; it's reasonable for them to expect the availability of transfers will bring players back, but without knowing how many cancelled accounts will be reactivated they have to prepare for best-case scenario.

Again, you don't know what transfers will cost money and which ones don't. While I doubt they'll let everyone transfer to a high-pop server for free, it wouldn't surprise me if they allowed it for people who already had characters on a server.

But I'm guessing. I have no idea what the final implementation is going to be, and neither do you.

Your statement is based entirely on assumption. There's nothing to indicate that this will happen.

Why are there gamers out there that talk about how much this game cost to make? You're a gamer, not an investor ... why in the hell are you so worried about it?

Why are there gamers out there that talk about the investing company not making a profit this year? You're gamers, not stock market brokers or investors, so why in the hell are you worried about it?

When this game launched, these boards were filled with posts demanding servers be added due to server log-in queues. They added more servers. Now, the newness has worn off and servers are declining in population. This is normal activity in MMO's today. Why are so many people acting like this is some kind of global tragedy that's never happened before?

The Devs release a statement stating server transfers are coming soon, yet many are saying it's too little, too late. Too little, too late for what? If you're not happy with the game, why are you still playing it? If you're not happy with your server population, why don't you re-roll? Are you so attached to a pixel character that you have separation anxiety?


Gamers aren't gamers these days ... they're mostly over opinionated wind-bags with a keyboard. You should be ashamed of yourselves. It's a game ... play it to have fun or move on to the next entertainment venue.

The main problem comes from the fact that they limit were you can transfer and they are going to make you pay for the choice. Seems to me that they are out to get more money.
