Bioware is probably scared that server transfers would imply that the game isn't doing well. WELL IT ISN'T DOING WELL. The population on most servers is a joke and the longer they wait, the worse it gets. Who in their right mind is going to pay 15 dollars a month to play an MMO when there aren't other people to play with?

Yet you readily dismiss valid reasons as to why transfers are not possible at this time. I recommend expanding your vocabulary a bit: Look up the word hypocrisy. It applies to what you're doing here quite well. I never said laymen could perform the transfers, I said we don't know whether they can or not. Did you not even bother to read the post you quoted? The only reason any one gave that I shot down was the guy saying they couldn't merge legacies, which you agreed they could and also shot down that guy. My point stands, we know they can do it, so why haven't they? BW has yet to chime in, and all anyone can offer is pure speculation as to why they haven't.

My point stands as well, though. You are dismissing dissenting opinions without recognizing a key fact: your initial statement is nothing more than speculation. We do not know that it is even possible to transfer characters manually at this point. That it was done before does not indicate that it can be now. It does not indicate it could ever have been done on any server other than those involved in the Asia-Pacific transfers. The basis of this entire thread is nothing more than supposition. The developers have already stated the reason why transfers are unavailable now. There's no reason for them to repeat themselves, and if that's what you're wanting you're simply wasting your breath.

How is it speculation if they've already done it before? Where is the dev statement saying why they aren't doing manual transfers? I've seen all the other statements about transfers. I'm starting to smell fanboy/apologist.

Umm, the extra mile would be to keep doing manual transfers until the automated system was ready. They transferred the aussies and quit. Which incidentally killed the pops on the servers the aussies left. Most people are out of patience. They're looking for a reason to stay at this point. The free 30 days are over for many or coming to a close for the rest. Why stay if BW can't go the extra mile for us?

Quote: Originally Posted by NDiggy How is it speculation if they've already done it before? Manual transfers were employed to facilitate Asia-Pacific transfers, and even then they were extremely buggy. It is speculation to assume that it can be employed in other situations. Quote: Where is the dev statement saying why they aren't doing manual transfers? It's the same message saying they are working to implement an automated system capable of handling the transfer process. No other response is really needed, because if their resources are dedicated to this task then there should be none left to manually transfer characters.

You stated the extra mile would be transferring characters manually. This was fulfilled. I suspect you're just sore because you were not included in this. Quote: Most people are out of patience.

If that's how you feel don't stay. You can always return when transfers are in place.
