Server Transfer vs Server Merges and the Great Hypocrisy

Are you sure it was them just panicing and not a billion or so threads complaining about long queues that didn't conribute to this issue..

I don't care how new Bioware is to the industry and I don't care who EA is.. That doesn't make anyone in this forum know more about MMO's or how to run them..

EA is a power house when it comes to marketing.. Anyone can see that by just looking at their many sports franchises.. Madden Football ring any bells??

Bioware is a master at story telling.. Still the best single player RPG in history was KOTOR..

Server merges is a dangerous things, and most likely will never happen.. Some of you MMO experts should know that merges create a ton of naming issues from character names, guild names, legacy names, and so forth.. So mergers is most likely not going to ever happen..

Allowing people to change servers is the best option and will be out when 1.3 is released.. It can be controlled to allowing a specific group of people change to a specific server.. IE. republic players moving to a server that is heavy with imperial players.. Try to balance the servers out some.. If there is a naming conflict, then the moving party has to change their names..

Also another question. Say I have 8 characters on one server and legacy maxxed out. If I transfer each char to a diff server so I get max legacy on all 8 servers? So many questions I dont know how they cannot at minimum know this by now. If once you transfer 1 character you can not transfer any other ones without losing legacy that could be an issue. Losing your legacy levels on your characters left behind also seems to be something that would not be popular.

So how are they going to do this? I wish they would at least put out a faq on how things will work. Are they just going to dump it on us 2 days before the patch?

actually bioware is not new to MMO's and since you state this am assuming you are they have warhammer and since you state this can only assume you are one of those Wow is the greatest ever trolls

I don't get it. Shouldn't we wait until they announce exactly how they are going to implement transfers before going berzerk? Really it makes no sense complaining about something we do not know. I seriously question the people that do that (e.g. the OP). Please wait until they announce their plans. Complain if you do not like that.

Make suggestions, sure. Make your arguments for or against in a constructive manner. Maybe they will implement transfers differently than how you assume. You actually make some good points but your manner is extremely wrong.

Destroying guilds? Guild's Message of the day: we all went to [servername]?

Wow, yeah it wasn't americans at all flipping out about the ques. No, it was just us aussies.

I think we should get behind a goal of naming you the most ignorant person in the community.


Otherwise, I would like to see a list of destination servers put out soon so guilds and individuals can start planning their moves.

Just WOW! at the problems that the thread starter stated. I laughed =))

So you dont think they know right now how they are even going to do this? I certainly hope that is not the case. If it is then they are months from releasing it. They should be polishing it not trying to figure out how its going to work. You figure that out before you code it.

We need those transfers for yesterday.

Srsly?
