This cannot be contained within one question, but I'll make it as brief as possible.
RE: Server Transfers
Rumors have been circulating that you'll only allow server transfers from high-pop to low-pop servers. This is not acceptable. Many servers are lucky if they see greater than 10 people on the fleet at any one time. The fact is, you folks had way too many servers at launch, you dumped pre-order guild launches are servers that haven't proven themselves in the long term, and allowing a handful of people to transfer to these low-pop servers will not save those servers from dying.
So this is a multi-part question:
When 1.3 comes live, will server transfers be to ANY server? Will our legacy be in-tact? (or for example some of us rolled on a server to try out the community on that server, will you allow us to take the higher of the two legacies when we transfer those characters?.,..which is after-all...fair. Will we get to keep our perks that we earned on the old server?
I think to resolve all this, it should be handled in this way:
When you transfer, you should have two options:
Transfer a single character.
or
Transfer your entire legacy
The single character is straight forward.
The legacy would simply be: Transfer your legacy to the new server, if one exists on the new server, the legacy of higher level is kept and any pre-existing characters on that server are absorbed into the transferred legacy.
at that point, all character names in the legacy are re-set, thus allowing the player to rename their characters in the event they have single or multiple characters with the same name on two different servers.
