Being upset about losing names is fine. Expecting to receive special treatment deserves to be called out.

Fair enough. I'm only suggesting you can do that and be respectful at the same time. Let our little exchange serve as an example.

Have a good one.

Funny. I thought the implementation of the Cartel Store was the Rise of the Hutt Cartel. And no, I do not like what that story has to offer. I keep getting screwed in it.

I personally lost 5 of 8 names during transfers, including 2 names I've been using since PnP days before I started playing MMOs over 10 years ago, and neither of them are any famous name that I'm aware of. I also lost both legacies, as well as 4 low level characters I deleted because there wasn't room for them, and I'm not holding my breath on getting 12+ character slots on a server...so it's not like I wasn't affected by this. It probably took me less than 5 minutes to come up with 5 new names and a new legacy name, and I got over it.

If people are quitting over a name they need to stop, think and chill.....if you are having to change your name then you need to think about how unoriginal that name must have been....

I have toons on 4 different server and have tried others to check for names and i can get to keep them all if they let me transfer, so yeah maybe im lucky or maybe i just have a more original name then you....

Please BW move my toons from Prophecy of the five to a server i want to be on...its in the same region but a different server type

Why would you say this, nothing that had been published implies this.

In fact its not likely to be this way because part of the playerbase that has not transferred has not done so because they have more than 16 characters total for the current destination servers. Its more likely that the merges go to new destination servers (and possibly brand new servers), that guarantees a greater probability of spaces available.

Probably the best solution would be to bring up brand new servers and merge all active accounts there on the 1st day and then move all non-subbed accounts over the next few days. That lessens the delays in moving the people still playing and reduces the chances of name conflicts.

Some steps need to be taken. We'll lose names and all that, but if we're to be packed into these boxes, environmental objective respawns need to greatly increase as well as characters per server.

So as not to be misunderstood; There aren't enough boxes in the Black Hole. Fix it, please.

hello

I see alot of posts on the "character" transfer service. Every day i go and read alot of posts on this subject.
I see alot of response from players, but nothing special from BW.
Seem like they created this thread so that peeps can have a place to steam vent off.
why is it soooooooo long for BW to give us somekind of statement on character transfer and character slots?
the legacy system is nice, but not when you need to have 2 servers to build your characters as you want to experience the story line.

For me a lack of response from BW is telling me they don't really care about us (the client) and when a client is fed up of a service, well you go elsewhere. If you are mis treaded at a store, i am sure you will go shopping elsewhere.

Thanks

Well that's what they said... but we have plenty of posts saying it CANNOT be played on highly populated servers.

Strange huh?
