Character Transfer, Server Populations, and You (Part II)

Maybe not everyone asked for transfers in the first place. I know I didn't. I have transferred some toons and yes finding a group is easier, but still doesn't change the fact I lost my Legacy name and had to change my first toons name. I have read they are keeping the dead servers. if so I think they should make them story servers. where you just play the class and planet quests, allow you to team with others on those quest.

What are you? Bioware's lawyer? While they might not have explicitly said some things, or implicitly meant somethings. Wouldn't it had been a lot easier, and better, if they explained everything from the very start? Both the good and bad so that all the community knew exactly what was going on. So that every person could make their own choice on whether they wanted to stay or go. Though I imagine, if that were the case, they would not have been able to get those few extra bucks from people that lingered hoping that things would change or their situation would improve. So is tonight the big move? All the stragglers should log on to your old dead servers on last time and say hi and bye to your fellow holdouts.

“We understand that some of you may be looking to consolidate characters from a variety of origin servers onto one server, and others may be anxious to move to a specific server to be with friends. With the restrictions of this initial service, that may not be possible. We still believe that you will enjoy playing on a higher population server and hope you’ll take advantage of the service, but you won’t be forced to transfer. Future versions of the Character Transfer Service may allow more options in your choice of destination servers and may require a transfer fee.”


But you won't be forced to transfer - lovely

There have been nothing but lies from the whole team behind this game since it launched.....its gonna continue that way so get over it or quit....

see you guys on 25th of august...Oh wait thats when GW2 is out, maybe i wont

I'll see you there then. I prepurchased the day I cancelled my recuring sub here. I won't be resubing here until they sort out this server issue and a few other nuisance issues for me. If GW2 holds my attention like GW1 does I may never return.

I hope we soon get the option to move our characters to a server of our choice (pvp to pve for example) before free to play hits....

I didn't get my pet.

I think those get mailed on the 7th. It's a bit early to be expecting it.

so with the announcement of SWTOR going F2P. I am assuming that character transfers might be part of the cash shop. Bioware lets get an answer on this please!!

So, if the Destination Servers now have queues, what's it going to be like with Free-to-Play? Hour long queues?

At least now it becomes clear why they really don't care how many customers they p*ss off, they'll replace us all with Free-to-Play players.

So, why not KEEP the Origin servers running? If they are going to get an influx of new, FREE players, they'll need more servers.
