Be thankful you can finally transfer off your dead server. I'm still waiting (Helm of Graush) for a server transfer that's most likely going to be Prophecy of the Five. My Republic toon is on The Fatman, and while I'm disappointed that it seems I won't be heading there, I understand because anymore servers would cause The Fatman to explode from the stomach out.

Sucks but my luck always sucks so I was somewhat expecting this to happen. I guess I'll be forking out 20 bucks or so in a few months

I would like to repeat what the others here have said.
No they didn't.
Bioware doesn't confirm stuff. They say things like "maybe," "soon," and "potential."

On the bright side, you can have all 16 AC in 2 servers, 8 in The Fatman and 8 in Po5.

I'm.. not sure what you want. You want them to spend more of the massive amounts of time they are already spending to rush out paid transfers so YOU can be happy? Everyone pays to play this game. Your NOT special, dont act like it. You chose to play on the server. And now that you are stuck on that server FOR THE TIME BEING, you are crying? Your on a populated server, which is much better than being on a completely dead one! Be happy you can complain about trolls in general chat, those of us on dead servers never even get the chance to see general chat. You are complaining about your server. Guess what. There are other people who play this game. If you dont want to deal with other people, and want an epic RPG experiance, buy Skyrim. Becuase your complaints are invalid based on the fact that you were impatient and decided to play on a server (Of your own accord) instead of waiting for transfers that have been announced. Also, paid transfers that will take you wherever you want are coming soon. Here's a quote from the Q&A BW posted.

“First we’ll have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice,”

Not only is this one of the few MMO's where you can get a free transfer (Complaining about something thats free???) but they have announced paid transfers. It's not Bioware's fault you didnt do your research.

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.
LOL i knew we would start seeing a bunch of these threads...ive been warning people of this for months, and all they could say was ,hey you should re-roll also...no thanks, i paid my dues leveling 7 toons on a dead server and now they all have been moved to a great server...i see paid transfers in your future

I really like the community on Five a lot better than Fatman. The players are more helpful, less elitists, and overall kinder.

I have no problem paying for a xferas long as it's nothing too steep.

It's fair and a good thing though that BW is fixing pop imbalances before allowing for paid xfers.

You would argue that you had two choices, I (and most reasonable people) would argue that you really had one choice because one of them was not viable.

Now, the example I gave is much more extreme than "dead-servers vs. rerolls" but the principle is EXACTLY the same. If you can't understand this there may be some remedial logic or philosophy courses at your local community college that can help.
People consider instant gratification a choice when it isn't.. while there is merit in your argument overall the people that rerolled on larger servers are of the instant gratification crowd and for whom I have no empathy. They are the moths that flit from game to game and never stay anywhere for very long. They don't help build a community they are parasites that suck everything from it.
