Thank you for 12 character slots!

But if you have characters on separate servers before the merge, they won't be deleted, you can still play all 13-16 of them once they're all on the high-pop server. You just can't make new characters unless you have less than 12 on one server.

Well, after reading the faqs apparently you can have more than 12 alts after the transfer. 8 on main server and 8 on combining server. I'll test this out to see what happens.

"For players who have more than twelve characters that are migrating to the same higher population server, we have created an extended character selection screen with different “pages” to hold all of your characters. You can use the arrows at the bottom of the character selection screen to navigate these pages. "

if you want 16 just go to the other unlocked server of the same kind or your original server it should be onlocked and create new char

I can always think of nice names, so, reserved or not, makes little difference to me.

PM me with what your char will look like and class and I`ll try to come out with some nice names. Ideally, also tell me if you want them dead serious, tongue-in-cheek, or plain hilarious, so I don`t end up giving you "Copperfield" as a name.

I'm going to have more than 16 because 3 servers are coming to the one that was my main server after the first round. Plus the ones I had to leave behind. I will see something like 30-something of 12.

"The character transfer service is currently unavailable."

so we cant transfer more chars now?

then we don't need 12 slots,
we need them BOTH.

Yes, it ended earlier today. Tomorrow all your characters will go to pre-selected servers. If you have less than 12, then you will get 4 more slots tomorrow on your new server. If you have more than 12 going to a server, you will have all your characters but won't be able to create new ones until you delete enough to get less than 12 on the server.

that means the last transfer service is closed now... it's not needed because they are moving all the toons off the old origin servers so there will be no one on them to transfer with that system

This is another example of taking a good idea and not implementing it well, resulting in unhappy customers where all should be happy.

Because no characters will be deleted alot of people--those who actually heard about this in the 12 or so hours advance warning we had-- ran out and spammed up characters on the destination server. So now we'll have people who have 16 slots and people who have 12. Great, more disparity and reason for players to be unhappy. I've already heard the cries of anguish from those in Fleet who didn't get the advance warning and ended up with 12 while so many others were gloating about their 16.

Just raise the limit to 16 and be done with it already so equity is achieved for all (and it just makes sense because it allows players to level 1 of each class available)

Couldn't have done this before with the first wave of transfers could you BW?
Couldn't make the Legacy not an issue on the first wave of transfers could you BW?

This will improve their Characters Per Server ratio for the annual report at the end of the year.
Less Servers but more Slots per Server.
It makes it look like there are more people playing when it is only the same lonely people playing more alts.
