Its a nice idea. There are quite some interfaction guilds which would love to see this happen!

Basically, all you will get is a "We're studying the flows. Once we've done that, we'll think about it. And maybe ask you money for it.". I know, because I submitted several tickets with the same question and finally got a more or less honest answer: Which is ridiculous... At launch, the situation was a mess. Many players ended up creating characters on different servers because their intended (and by EA/BW designated!) server had over 4hrs of waiting list... And back then, it was a promise that, in the future, we would be able to move our characters and "reunite" them. Now, they made their merges, directed, without considering player's cases. And they'll just charge for character transfers outside what they needed to do in order to retain players... Not nice, BW... Not nice at all... But dont worry. You'll get paid character transfers pretty soon...

Top reasons Im still playing: 1) My sub is not ended yet. After that, it's likely I wont be playing anymore 2) The stories and the way quests are given (dialogues, voice acting) 3) the universe/lore 4) Star Wars 5) Classes Reasons why Ill quit soon: 1) EA/BW breaking promises, one after another: feeling of a unique adventure (what happened to "You'll never have to kill the same NPC as thousand others"), character transfer from and to any server to compensate for the queues at launch, customisation, influence on the universe (seriously... we're supposed to "leave our mark in th galaxy", yet nothing we do has any meaning or consequence...).. 2) That "one man army" feel. It's just ridiculous sometimes... You feel like the Republic/Empire is filled with morons, since even your toon lvl 1 can "save the day" where seasoned soldiers just get slaughtered... 3) Probably the worst customer service in the world. Sorry, but copy/pasting pre=formatted answer depending on a couple keywords is NOT a customer service. Just give us access to the DB and we'll do that ourselves... 4) PVP: limited to BG's (at least when you're not lvl 50...and even so... open pvp is barely existing), and there are just too few BG's to be fun... 5) No real influence. You can be the worst sadistic monster and still be a jedi knight... It has no influence, in the end. This is a general issue in BW's games... In Mass Effect, you can choose paragon or renegade, the NPC will still justify your choice and claim you're a great guy... 6) Linked to 5: no possibility to change faction. 7) No possibility to change advanced class. If your ealise you don't like the class you chose, in the end, you can only reroll... Thats a pity... 8) Planet design. Honestly, apart from a couple planets (Hutta, Voss, ...) I dsilike most planets... They lack... caracter... or personnality...

I remember not so long ago... Maintenance was weekly, or even more, and of course always at a time good for US players but annoying for Europeans (as is the case with most popular MMO's, because "hey, if Europeans are stoopid enough to accept a 1$=1euro rate, why shouldnt they also accept we take the servers down during their playtime?"), I made a ticket asking about maintenance windows (and a couple other things). The CSR was so kind and so understanding he assured me it was a known issue and that, in the future, maintenance windows would be ajusted to timezones, so that everyone could benefit from the same great service, because Bioware does care about its playerbase, especially for Europeans, as they're the cradle of western civilisation and all. Morale: never believe what a CSR tells you.
