GalacticKegger Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I stopped counting at 6 the number of threads pertaining to both server consolidations and/or server transfers due to population imbalances. Posts in them with links to BioWare's official responses on this issue tend to get buried quickly under doom & gloom spams. So I put this thread together so the info is OP accessible, and will continue to add update links as they come out. How Can We Help? Anyone who connects the dots in-game with BioWare's DevTracker, Developer's Blogs and social network trail knows they have been listening to the community. Now BioWare is working on a server transfer solution - and could really use our help to expedite it becoming a reality. They are ramping up live character transfers (copies) to the Public Test Servers as a test bed for in-game server transfers. THEY NEED TESTERS! The more testers they have, the faster and better they can evaluate it. Once dev is comfortable with the system in that environment, they plan to migrate it over to the game. This IS a priority for BW and a chance for the community to really make a difference by helping our own cause.

That's just not gonna ****-ing happen. So if they want me to test then they better provide character copies for me to test with.

DartSuncho Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Now BioWare is working on a server transfer solution - and could really use our help to expedite it becoming a reality. They are ramping up live character transfers (copies) to the Public Test Servers as a test bed for in-game server transfers. THEY NEED TESTERS! Where exactly did you see anyone talking about server transfers? No such thing at all. Read carefully and don't give people false hope. The copying of your characters to the test servers will be implemented simply to make the testing more appealing to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edavo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 you guys think if someone has a character in a US server it can be transfered to a EU server when the transfers become available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
