Free transfers in the future?

I see BW mysteriously decided not to answer any questions about server populations or transfers, and even got out of it next week by saying it will be another 1.2 Q&A continuation.

What's your point?

They said they will have free transfers for AP folks over to the Aussie servers in late April, followed by other server transfers after that. They have not formally communicated their release plan yet, but hey... they have not communicated their release plan for 1.2 yet... so I don't see the problem.

They've already begun testing character transfers by transferring live guilds onto the PTS. As for answering to server population specifics ... they don't have to because they are meeting their projected goals. If they weren't then there'd be a lot more sweat coming from their PR department.

EA in particular is tight lipped about releasing specifics regarding anything. They are from the old school of "loose lips sink ships" and have been since their first exclusive licenses with F1 and NASCAR. Those franchises were the technical racing simulator marvels of their day, and drew a lot of reverse engineers into its playing ranks.

A current example is TOR's legacy system. There are a lot of game developers out there paying real close attention to what Bioware is not only doing - but how they are doing it. This is no longer an open mic night experiment. The game is a legit target now and its owners have to protect their assets. Character transfer complications derived from the legacy system isn't as simple as connecting dots in a database flow chart. They are working on it and learned from launch not to rush stuff.

11am. There are 5 people in the Imperial Fleet on Veela server.

I will quit before I level a character on a different server when I get no legacy points. However there is also no one to play with....

I dont care if I have to pay to transfer servers or not, I just want someone to play with again.

Its reverse for me. I WANT to go on hevy server. I'm on Khoonda Militia, we are lucky to have MAXIMUM of 20...

Prime time Saturday night. My server is running on Standard. 4 people on Voss.

Hey but the forums are hoppin !

Are there going to be free server transfers? i just want to go to my friends server they just started playing and i dont feel like rerolling 3 toons..

I would gladly pay a fee to be able to transfer my characters to a server where all my friends are instead of having to reroll my level 30 bounty hunter.

That's cause we're all on one server. There's actually people to talk to here, unlike on my server.
