So, while I am disappointed that transfers for the East Coast PvP server are now headed for Po5 I would be willing to be ok with that if BioWare would consider allowing all the people who are going there to get their re-rolls off The Fatman and on to PO5.

I for one, got so tired of doing nothing on IC that I rerolled Fatman about three months ago. I have played that toon so long that it is better geared the the characters I abandoned on IC. Now, I am sat here knowing I will probably get sent to Po5 but that my now favourite character is on The Fatman. Allow me to take my character off The Fatman and reunite it with the rest of my characters. I want to be able to play my other 50's as well again and get my level 30 legacy back.

It is not fair to your player base to punish them for rerolling to the only 'alive' server while waiting for you to fix the population issues. You have allowed a portion of your population to go to a server where all the re-rolls went giving them the opportunity to reunite their re-rolls with their original legacy's.

As a paying subscriber, I am not asking you to send me to The Fatman because of a juvenile temper tantrum, I am simply asking for the same opportunity the players that got transferred to The Fatman got. To reunite my re-rolls with my originals.
Insert witty signature here.

You'll likely have to pay to consolidate. If they start letting people move around again, they wouldn't be able to monitor populations to make sure they stabilize.

Why does every single complaint contain "as a paying customer"?

Everyone on this game is a paying customer.

You will pay to consolidate your characters. BioWare has to fix the community as a whole not cater to everyone's individual problems.

It's just the sad reality of life.

People didn't get transferred to Fatman to re-unite characters with their re-roll...

Complaining for transfers from high pop to (soon to be) high pop defeats the whole purpose of what BW is trying to do for now.

Letting you play on the server you chose to create a character on and play on is not "punishment". In fact, very few players have all their characters consolidated on one server. They either got lucky and started on a server that remained reasonably populated or got very lucky with the transfer process. It's hard to claim you are being punished by enduring what most players are and you that you chose to set-up.

I hope we all are allowed to consolidate our characters as we like in the future but, let's ease up on the "punishment" rhetoric.

I agree with the OP. After the free transfers to balance populations are done (and the almost empty servers are closed), BW should allow everyone ONE FREE consolidation transfer which would combine all of their characters to any one server on which they already have characters. PAID transfers should come after that.

As the OP says we should not have to pay for BW's idiocy of allowing too many servers to become empty that the game was no longer even playable on them. To put it another way, we should not have to pay to recombine characters which BW effectively forced us to separate.

You knew transfers were coming.

You were impatient.

This is the cost (literally) of your impatience. Considering how low that cost will be, you should be happy that your life lesson was so cheap.
