I'm an Australian player on swiftsure, and I am having a lot of fun playing on an American server. To be honest I'm happy that they will be providing a transfer for free, however its incredibly frustrating that this service is not offered sooner. I'll be damned if I re roll another character. I would no doubt be a lot happier if I could play on a better ping, which makes me wonder why BW wouldn't want to make customers like me happier and want to play their game a lot more. The dev teams for BW are very skilled, so why hasn't this service been made available sooner? Personally I don't believe that all the people that want to apply for transfers are level 50, fully geared, with bundle loads of credits. I'm level 39, my friends that want to transfer are from 20 to 44. It doesn't make sense to allow servers to "naturally" grow, because a varied amount of characters with varied levels will transfer. I really have considered both sides outlined in this thread, especially the fact that I personally bought this game premature from the US. The main problem I believe is the lack of communication. It's so exciting to have new servers, but incredibly frustrating not being able to use my character on it. Maybe I'm being a little bit impatient, but 2 months is a long time... But at least the option will be available for free in the future. Until the day comes, I will continue as normal, PvPing and Questing to hit 50.
