This.

No, you just might have to wait. You don't need HK-51 the day it comes out.

Besides, they've already made it beneficial to have characters of the opposite factions on the same server - and many people rerolled characters when 1.2 was announced in order to do so. It was pretty clear that they were going to be adding more cross-faction features to Legacy.

That being said, I would imagine that paid transfers will be available soon after the automatic transfers are done (which could be any time after tomorrow) while new content hasn't hit the playtest servers yet.

Oh hey guys, this thread still exists? Are we still demanding things? If that is the case, I DEMAND the devs address my desire to hear Kevin Michael Richardson and/or Steve Blum voice every character in this game. I demand it.








Demand.

Demanding things on MMO forums always works out well.

I have responded a number of times so here are the main talking points.

1. Demanding anything, especially in a video game is childish.
2. I'll bet it totally works.
3. I'll bet it's taking so long for them to reply because they are working out the logistics of giving you everything you want.
4. Bumping you own thread is
5. You're welcome for the free bump.

"PAID"

Are you insane? Why should player be required to pay to move characters from empty servers? This is like the 10th thread asking for paid transfers. They should be free and available right now.

It's sad that EA is laying off devs when this game needs a small army working on this game right now.

Go play The Secret World. This is merely a suggestion. It has the systems in place that you desire. Rather than waiting for BioWare to rework/improve their systems, try out another.

1) Doesn't matter what server you create your character on, because of the server cluster technology they use everyone plays together. No need for transfers. Only limitation is the Fusang PVP warzone which is server specific.

2) Open-ended skill system. Create one character, they can do everything, no re-rolling unless you want to play another faction. Pure DPS. Pure Tank. Pure Heals. Or any hybrid combination you can come up with.

3) Monthly content updates. New missions, new unlocks/achievements, new features, new dungeons, etc.

Sorry to say, but BioWare is following the Blizzard playbook step by step. Don't expect them to deviate from it too much.
