So, I was just checking out the FAQ's and discovered this:
Qualified players in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Singapore, will be offered one-time free character transfers to Asia Pacific servers for a limited time period in late April. No specific date has been confirmed at this time. We will be sending an email to all qualified players by early March with more details. Stay tuned to http://www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com for more information
I believe the Asia Pacific community are entitled to know why we must wait so long for the ability to transfer. I read previously that Bioware have the hardware to add more Asia Pacific servers, so I don't see over-population of the servers as an issue. Personally I would be happy to pay $25 per transfer in order to have my characters moved over tomorrow.
A bit disapointing as most of the community were expecting something in early March.
I don't want to complain, I do appriciate that we will actually be recieving free transfers. I just don't understand why we must wait two months.
