BW's transfer implementation on the other hand actually forces you to go where they say you can go. You get to choose a server that they decide you are allowed to transfer to. Also did they say the transfers will be for low population. Is anyone on Fatman going to transfer to a light server? Enough to make a difference? I dont think they want servers that are light to get lighter. I see failure ahead.

Nobody in their right mind would transfer off from Fatman; in another year or so, Fatman may well end up being the only server left in the game.

If they were experienced they would let the numbers they started with till population stabilized after Xmas holidays. Probably now we had a lot of healthy servers, cuase, let's say it. lots of people continue quitting every day more without merges.

No idea about the slots but from what they're saying about the legacy is that the characters with the higher legacy level will overwrite the ones with the lower legacy level so you'll have the higher level legacy on all your characters. Example: Legacy A is level 20 while Legacy B is level 10. You transfer your characters with Legacy A to a server where your characters have Legacy B. All your characters on that server would now have Legacy A, so they would all be Legacy level 20.

Does both the characters on server A and server B (where I have no characters) keep the legacy levels? Do I lose all the legacy I had built on the characters I did not transfer?

I've read a few posts from Asiatic players that said their legacies didn't transfer.
