I'm also in the same pickle. Need to choose 8/17 PCs for The Ebon Hawk. My only real concern is what I will be able to do with the other 9 in the future. If I can't put them all on TEH, I would like to be able to move them somewhere else where they can be reasonably played (i.e. good population). I will expect those transfers to ALL be free. To charge for those would be ludicrous.

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.
This is not an issue. It's not like they are deleting characters. They just are only letting you put 8 on one server. Grow up and stop your yelling.

At launch I picked Keller's Void for my 8 Empire toons and Jedi Covenant for my 8 Republic toons. My thought was if they gave us 8 slots and each side had 8 classes this would be the best option.

Fast forward 6 months and after playing all the classes through the first planet (and 8 through chapter 2 with 3 of them level 50) I find out that Keller's Void is moving to Jedi Covenant. I spent an agonizing afternoon yesterday figuring out which Republic toons to delete. It wasn't the end of the world as I've spent a lot more time on my Empire toons but it still was a bit frustrating. The only positive was since I used the same names on both I didn't lose that in the transfer.

I'd love to have a few more slots though.

The issue for me is that they rolled out the transfers in waves. So I transfered 4 imperial characters to Ebon Hawk, and now I find out Rubat Crystal is going to the same place. I have 7 characters on Rubat, Alliance side, who are higher level than any of my Imperial characters. It looks to me like I'm going to need to delete 3 of the imperials. I've designed my Republic characters crafting to work together.

I suppose it's not a huge deal to replay the Imps, since none of them are off the second world (though one almost is). But it's... irritating.

Is the server population really so low that they have to merge every single RP server American side into one server/ Pretty sad, if so.

This does appear to be an oversight, or at least I hope it is.

it may be that the free transfers will last severl mounths and i think bioware might add a new slot when they add the cathar.
which brings up a good point those with 16 may have deleted one anyway.

Must..... resist... making... poor .... WoW ....joke.


Also, your problem would have been easily solved in BW let people who choose destination server from say 2 instead of forcing them into one.

I'd almost sympathize with you, except that you *knew* they were rolling out the transfers in waves, and you *knew* there were only 8 character slots. If I had multiple characters from multiple servers, i'd probably want to see what all my options were for all my characters before even thinking about transfering some of them.

Except for the fact that the longer he waits to transfer, the lesser his odds become for retaining his original toon and legacy names.

Or the free promotional transfers that they have announced will be the next phase.

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?

I couldnt agree more.

Biowares idea of customer service is blame the customer and then let the fanboys on the forums defend them.

For a game with so many development dollars I am completely underwhelmed by their problem solving/foresight (lack thereof)
For every man there is a sentence, a string of words, which has the power to destroy him.
