We know you have been waiting for character transfers, but please do remember that this is a process!
Perhaps if there was a bit more transparency with regard to the "process" people wouldnt be left wondering why their destination server is lighter than their origin server. Secrecy is great and all.. for covert ops.. but all you guys are doing is opening your "process" up to speculation and conjecture.

It doesn't seem amateurish to me, they just choose how they want to communicate and they don't want to spend the time and money needed to make their angry customers that think with their guts instead of with their brains capable of hearing what they want to say.

while i agree, it is still a horse**** way to go about business.

instead of continuing this downward spiral of customer service, how bout making a stand...

remember when a man's word meant something...when a handshake would stand up in a court of law.

the lack of backbone is sad.

You are right it isn't painful, however I have no clue where you are coming up with the instant-gratification as it is apparent that the dev team and BW as a whole have no clue as to how to do things that even resemble what the MAJORITY consider a timely fashion.

And for any who don't believe what I say, then just keep watching as the server pops go down and down (as they already have since launch) and this game eventually fails because it is no longer profitable for the company to upkeep. I won't even wait around with a cup of "I told you so", cause its not worth it. I find it amusing to compare the fan-boys to the musicians that went down on the sinking Titanic as they will still be swallowing what the dev's produce still, as the game goes down.

Pepperidge farm remembers.
Ganking leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to pvp.
The Swtor forum attracts trolls because the forums are more fun than raiding dragon soul.
Complaining is the new meta game.

Im currently transfering my 50 sage from the least populated european server to tomb of freedon nadd..
This is kinda strange.. I wonder how it all works out. I have other chars on other one server and now im gonna be on 1 most populated server, which is just weird. I still can't actually feel normal because my 42 shadow and 50 scoundrel are still on other server that is also starting to die, and with much higher legacy level than my sage which is gonna be transfered now to the most populated EU server..

That's the problem if you weren't one of the lucky few sent to Jedi Covenant or The Fatman - you can't just make a vibrant community over night by trucking people in. Even the people eligible to transfer, many of those on dead servers are probably inactive, and even the active players can't be expected to drop everything and transfer the first day. Guilds need to be reformed entirely, the GTN takes time to reach a decent volume of trade, people need to feel comfortable on the new server, whatever.

But if they try to speed all that up by flooding the new server with too many people, well then you just can't play at all. It's a tough situation all-around.

Just remember: The No-Backsies Rule is in full effect you server traitor!

We have plenty of data. The process is going to take weeks and it's one day old.

How young and impatient are you?

The account page (probably) shows the list of all planned free transfers.

The official transfer page shows the list of currently available free transfers, which is currently a subset of the list on the account page.

It is (probably) easier to update a forum post than the official transfer page so the community team updates that in an effort to get us the most up to date information as quickly as possible.

They're actually doing this really well, even if it's not as fast as some of us would like. It's far better to take it slow and keep a close eye on it than to open the flood gates and because of some issue send characters through a shredder, right?
