Forced transfer to high pop. 16 slotted servers ?

No its only for this new second public test server ( the high population one ) and as a few users have pointed out to me its only 12 and there is no way in hell I will accept this , I will update the OP soon. I was working towards 8 characters on one server and 8 characters on another for a reason , 16 advanced classes , now I am supposed to have 12 and then 4 on another ? Talk about imbalance , I'm flabbergasted .

This is now a petition to give us 16 slots for free or just 8 slots per server , There is no way on earth I'm paying for 4 extra slots and I will call CS every day after the forced moves to explain why.

The whole transfer process has been a (censored) mess from day 1. Bioware does not even know how to do server merges correctly.

I'm thinking they will get 4, and the option to purchase more slots. 4 gives them 4 primary classes from one faction on a server if that's the way they want to use them.

Actually, the bottom of my character select screen says 20/12 characters. So, if it is an indication of how many char slots we can/will get, the number looks to be 12.

Edit: HERE is what it looks like. Looks like if we can take anything from it, that it would be 12 slots.

I'm glad we're getting more character slots. Sure, it's only 4 more. But, better then nothing, right?

Nope - because your legacy name will come with you, regardless of whether another player is already using it on your destination server. Did you sleep through that whole fracas?

Thanks for the screenie. Interesting to see the "multiple pages".

I would be highly surprised if F2P players get more than 1 slot for free. Character slots are big money makers for F2P MMOs I imagine.

I bet they give them 2 slots. Not a single F2P game Ive ever played gives enough slots to even try all the classes.

EQ2 - 2 slots for free accounts, 4 classes (25 sub classes)
CO - 2 slots for free account, 8 archetypes
CoH - 2 slots for free account, 8 archetypes
STO - 2 slots for free account, (never played STO, someone else will have to tell me how many classes)
LotRO - 1 slot per server, but I think you can make a character on each server.

It's worse , I would have much rather they moved my remaining characters above the magic 8 to another server. So if this happens I will end up with 12 advanced classes on one server and 4 on another ( or on the same one but locked ). I don't really think its fair when we could have 50 characters for free.

I have put off making my last 4 advanced characters for 3 months because of the worry of not knowing where they would end up and now it seems I will be stuck , not being able to make my last 4 characters until F2P hits in November ( i guess we will get our cartel coins then ). So now I have to waste another few weeks and then have to use my cartel coins to buy the 4 final slots , I'm what is commonly known as gutted!
