Until the server is eventually closed, then i imagine CS will be forced to move them somewhere.

Once again this shows a lack of foresight by Bioware.

You honestly didn't see this happening?

Again you are "punishing" your customers in YET ANOTHER way.

This is exactly how not to do a server merger/transfer process.

Totally disgusted with your lack of process or QA.

Six Sigma much?

Umm, how does this show lack of foresight? The MAX you can have on one server is 8 characters. Someone having multiple characters spread across different servers is not their fault. They just happened to be on servers with the same destination server.

Im in this same boat now I have 11 characters all available for the Harbinger and deleting any of them is not an option. So is paid transfer going to be an option soon? Because in my case 2 accounts is an option if you allow me to move characters from 1 account to the other. But seriously when youve pushed people to make alts for 6 months you had to have realized this would be an issue.

1. People have been clamouring for more character slots since beta.
2. We have been told that they have heard us and will be offering this in the future.
3. But, did not implement this BEFORE this server transfer cluge.
4 Showing lack of foresight as to the potential effects of their actions pertaining to transfers and charcter slots.
5. ALSO showing they really don't give a flying fig about their customers.

This is reminds me of all the crap that $oE did to SWG with the CU.


ALSO and most importantly SINCE WE DON"T KNOW THE FINAL OUTCOME ... those of us with alts spread out amoungst the servers NOW HAVE TO WAIT TO TRANSFER ..... so that we can prioritize which alts we want to keep.

TOTALY MAD about this ... I can't even transfer now until I see the FINAL state of origin vs. destination.

SOOOOOO WELLLL thought out BW.

SSDD.

I have to agree with this. These people should at least be allowed to transfer their "left behind" characters to an alternate server Bioware. They SHOULD NOT have to pay for that when paid transfers come. That is ridiculous.

Foresight is giving two destination choices when you have an game where alting is called end game content.

I deleted a character I had on the destination server to make room for my 8 characters from my origin server. However when I go to transfer that last character it still shows 8 existing on the destination. How long does it take the system to recognize the deleted character so I can finish the process?

There's a workaround for that. Create a new character on the new server, go through the initial title crawl and convo, then delete the character. That should fix the issue.
