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

Totally disgusted with your lack of process or QA.

Six Sigma much?
Oh, for god's sake.

The character limit per server is eight. It has always been eight. It will always be eight until they increase the limit, which is something they've already said they're looking into doing. How, in the name of all that is holy, is telling a player to choose which eight characters to transfer "punishing" the player? What sense of entitlement enables you to think that, just because you have more than eight characters scattered across two or more servers, you should be allowed to move all of those characters to one server?

And just how are you expecting Bioware to allow you to move all of those characters to one server when the character limit per server is eight? Do you even bother thinking about your complaints anymore or is it just a kneejerk reaction now?

Well try to understand its not that he/she wants more slots , if he/she is like me then i have and 2 friends for that matter between 13-16 characters across two servers that can transfer to one server , thus making the population on both my servers very very very very bad , so you see yes we could transfer 8 characters but bioware have messed up the population on our two origin servers . Get it now ?

cheers,

I can understand that there were perhaps logistical difficulties with presenting a list ahead of time of origin --> destination servers, perhaps due more to real time monitoring of populations than anything else (who knows). That said, if such a list had been published ahead of time, I would have left some of my characters behind yesterday during the first wave of transfers so that I could transfer the ones I wanted to today during the second wave, as would my wife. Having ended up with one destination from two origin servers was a possiblity, one I had hoped wasn't very large. Nevertheless, I and my wife are now stuck having to decide which characters to delete on the origin server since we both moved them all yesterday.

So we have to choose which toons to keep because BW SCREWED UP in the first place?

Its the fact of funneling multiple origin servers to ONE destination that begs the certainty of this happening.

Increase character slots should have been PART of this transfer process.

Then choose your most played characters and transfer them. Or choose your highest level characters and transfer them. Or choose the legacy linked characters you want to keep and transfer them. For the rest, either wait for paid transfers or re-roll on another server. It's time to put on your big boy and girl pants and actually make a decision for yourselves. Papa Bioware can't and shouldn't hold your hand and do everything for you.

The more I read these forums, and the more I see more and more ways for the so-called community to whine and complain about anything, the more I come to the conclusion that the people who left EA/Bioware weren't actually laid off like it was reported; I'm starting to think they all left voluntarily before they had a Tseric-like meltdown.

I think Bioware should allow a free transfer later on to those that are unable to transfer all of their characters now. Yes, you are inconvenienced and that sucks, however they have stated they will make more slots on servers available at some point.

If they gave you a free transfer at that point would that be helpful?

I'm going to have to abandon a few 20 somethings because of this as well, I'm definitely less than thrilled about it.

How some of these morons on the forums don't get how people can be pissed that their time was wasted based on a pretty basic oversight is astounding.

I have worked out a plan , depending on your origin server type then , they could allow your first 8 characters on the normal destination server then give you a choice for your other characters to go to the same type of server but on the other coat ( east , west ) . That , in my case would be The Ebon Hawk and Begeren Colony . Obviously they would have to alter it for European servers , but it is the only solution I can think of and I am going to request it.

If you have more than 16 characters ( remember we can have 40 ) then its more complicated.
