Official Q&A Thread for June 1st, 2012 Q&A Blog Post

As said in Q&A on April 27.
Dallas Dickinson (Senior Producer, Live Services): We will be rolling out our Character Transfer Service in early summer. First we’ll have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice. We know everyone has more questions about character transfer, and we’ll reveal more details closer to the launch date

so my question is this, is this the confirmed plan for transfers or can pick our own sever to move to? and if this plan is the one your going with when can we get some lists of severs that we can move to so those severs can start trying to recruit and have some plans to make people who move feel welcome.

Will the ranked WZ queues be cross server? With some servers having population issues, I don't have faith that a transfer only approach will fix that issue, will single server queues be enough? I could see rating issues come up with only one or two teams winning the majority of the ranked WZ.

Not sure if this has been brought up in past Q&A's, but has there been thought of transferring either flight paths or entire maps to other alts through the Legacy System?

What plans are in the works to implement a mentoring/side-kicking system so more casual players can play alongside their higher level friends and actually be of benefit to each other?

Ok, so this is a question that I think will interest us all. We have all heard about character server transfers coming out in 1.3, but what of the possibility of Account transfers? For example, my friend has characters on my account on the same server. Recently he got his own star wars account, but clearly he wouldn't want to restart a semi-high level character all over again. Same could also be said for those people who have 2 or more accounts for themselves. So in the future, could we have possible character transfers across different accounts?

There are quite a few threads on wanting open world pvp and alot of good ideas on open world pvp content... Right now players can open world pvp but the problem lies in no purpose or reward to open world pvp which causes alot of players to say whats the point... So my question is are there any plans to implement something that would encourage owpvp such as faction points for factional items, or planetary control.... Rewards/comms for owpvp kills etc....? And not these things specifically, but any plans in 1.3 or any future updates?

Are there any plans for meaningful solo/small group content at level 50 besides the dailies grind?

Are their any plans to make Ashara a Sith? During her storyline, she always seems to be on the edge, but never quite accepts the Dark Side. The farthest you can take her is, 'Not a Jedi, but not a Sith either.'

Any plans to change this?

Why the dark/light side points have no influence in your char (just gears you can get and esthetic things on your char)? I think if you have an opportunity to change the faction, according to your alingment, is much more fun... I question this because on the history of the star wars, you can be persuaded for the other side, and, even that i have a jedi with full dark side points, i can't be a sith...

what is the eta for cross-server pvp?
