Unbelievable...transfers post poned again?

Bioware stated last April that they are working on character transfers...

And watch out for the hissy fit they'll throw if the devs appease someone else's desires instead of their own first.

I just want to move my chars to EU so I don't have to deal with the latency. I initially rolled on a US server (I know, my own choice) because I thought it would suit my work schedule . Turns out that the prime time population on the east coast is dropping earlier than I expected in the evenings/nights so it wasnt a particulary benefical move on my part (population didnt make up for latency). I could never imagine that it would take them this long to open up free transfers though.

Honestly? Wouldn't surprise me...

- HERE IS MY MONEY, TAKE IT EAWARE
- We don't want it
- ok, can we get some star wars-looking gear?
- it's $12
- but you said..
- SHUT UP, PAY UP AND MAKEB IS NOT FREE

Sad thing is, they'd make a cr@pton more money by getting this done and charging $25 for each character than they will with RotHC (I refuse to call it an expansion, even LOTRO has better "expansions" that add new game features). Even more, if they allowed people to transfer, they'd get people back who would then be MORE inclined to buy the expansion.

If they stopped trying to figure out ways to nickel and dime subs (F2P should expect to pay for new content... subs should not), they'd quickly see this.

Had to put that in, just to make sure it stays around in some form.

Although that is funny, it couldn't be further from the truth. A hundredth of a microsecond in this case is really somewhere around 7 months since they've proven they could do the transfers (and 10 months since people have been asking for it)
Self absorbed egos? How is wanting your characters to be on the same server egotistical? I have crafters on other servers that could make equipment for the ones on my current server. I have 2 million credits over there that are just rotting. Not to mention the buffs that I unlocked. It has nothing to do with ego and everything to do with not redoing what I already did because this game wasn't good enough to keep subs.
Even the "personal desires" is wrong. There are tens of thousands of people that want this. It isn't just a few people.

And for me personally, I've asked very nicely. I didn't scream "NOW". I've even said that if they can't or won't do this now, then please tell us why. Give us a reason. This is a far cry from being a spoiled brat. It is a perfectly reasonable request.

or maybe easier I imagine

Yeah, as much as I think SGR's are a waste of dev resources, it most likely was an easy thing to put in a few dialog lines. Who knows, it could be a really lame implementation of it anyway. They can add a few cutscenes and claim SGR, but that doesn't mean it's as deep or fun as the original story line romances were. It could be crap. Then the SGR fans could complain about that for another year.

Hey, everyone we can breathe easier. The devs didn't get transfers released because they took care of the real important stuff, like making sure players kneel down when shooting off fireworks.
