Well THAT changes everything, especially from a PVP perspective. I'd reroll in a heartbeat I don't care what level my characters are. If a free transfer was on offer I'd obviously take it but still, where does that leave the remaining pop on those servers when the AU/NZ pack up and go home?

I can see it on the news.

Stephen Reid, Senior Online Community Manager for EA BioWares Star Wars The Old Republic steps off Qantas flight QF356 from Los Angeles and gets hit by an elusive flying Drop Bear on his first visit to the country.

Im a kiwi living in London. but moving to Melbourne around april/may next year and on a west coast server. I dont want to start new characters on a new server but will consider a free transfer to an oceania server. I would like to play with fellow ANZACS.

10:30am on a working day.

I am 1665 in the queue, my guild and our rivals and ally sister guilds (who we have all played with over many games and years) were placed here at launch.

PLEASE give Guild launch program guilds the ability to transfer!

I go all the way back to Ultima Online, I do not ever remember a system that has messed up the community as bad as the guild launch program, this will go down in mmo history as one big pile of dog mess.
Soon. (tm)
