Server Transfer vs Server Merges and the Great Hypocrisy

Yes, you will have the same legacy name, level and unlocks on both servers.

This is exactly why merges won't work. You can't have more than 8 characters on 1 server.

Other MMOs have tools that allow them to transfer whole guilds across from one server to another. Guild transfers can be done if they wish to respect the players.

And I agree with the premise of the OP. Lets have light population Server merges FIRST, then Free Character transfers for fine tuning, and also Paid Character transfers as an ongoing option.

My server yesterday - I was the only player on Belsavis for 2 hours in the afternoon. There were 7 players in the Fleet at Midday. GET A MOVE ON !!!!

There is no option, there is no choice...

If they do not merge a LOT of the servers together, this game will not be around this time next year... "

If they wait much longer, it won't matter if they take it down to one server, no one will play, their losing their player base too fast due to EXTREMELY SIMPLE ideas, such as, don't come out with an MMO that has less features in it than the other big competitive MMO's, such simple things like an X-Server LFG tool, or even something that THIS game was the FIRST EVER to not have... a live combat log... seriously.... look it up...

If they want to save the game and keep what player base they still have, then they need to get on the ball, fix their major bugs, merge the servers, and start kicking *** instead of dropping the ball every single time ANY sort of issue comes up...

I can't sit here and say this without thinking, well if it's already this bad and they're already handling things this badly now... it's not going to get any better... no matter how much I want to be able to enjoy it, they're making it harder and harder with every patch...


TL;DR Merge the servers... now, or your games dies... that simple

You can transfer only whole legacy, not 6x transfers for 6 chars.

There are only 2 options for legacy transfer and it depends on the code BW set up.

The easiest and best requires that each character keeps track of thier own contribution to the legacy. This would have required extreme foresight on the part of BW. When the character transfers it only transfers its portion to the new server.

The only other option is a percentage transfer. BW would have to develop a percentage formula that each character would take a percentage of that Legacy with them when they transfered

• it could be a straight percentage - 3 characters in legacy each gets 1/3.
• Or it could be a weighted percentage - your level 50 gets a much larger percentage than your level 10

These are the possibilities I see if they want to all us to take our legacy when a character transfers.

I really hope they do mass server MERGES to some mega servers for each server/ type/timezone and then allow you 1 free server transfer that you have to petition for and submit a request for it.

If they just had server transfers, everyone would transfer to Fatman/other highly populated ones and then we would have queues to sign on all over again.

I really like the people on my server Master Zhar Lestin, (not the pvp cheaters, Rep and Imps, ive reported both) and even on a standard/light server found a good guild and talk with people in fleet. When there is only 40 of us lvl 50s on we recognize each other over time. Server merges would keep people together and if they dont have a good reason to transfer, it would keep that community mostly.

/shakes head quiet troll your opinion is not of concern..ignore this fool

So pretend the 'Light' population epidemic doesn't exist? There were too many servers to begin with, and most of them started hitting light/standard pop the day after release.

Where did you find this information?

Ok this doesnt even make sense. Are you reading what I wrote? The other guy got it.
