Seferex Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 From Japan here... And maybe i will be forced to quit the game even if i like it... My latency is like 400ms in the oceanic server... On switsure i got 100ms.. But at 10:00 pm the server is half empy... Plus i can not transfer my 50 in the oceanic server.. Never happened that i have to quit a game that i like because i'm forced lol ^^"
Evgen Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 how do we apply for a transfer? i couldnt see it anywhere? They will be sending out another mail to those eligible once all the details have been worked out.

They will be offering paid transfer after the free moves, but it does suck that English speakers in other AP countries weren't given the option to move. If they are considering localized Asian versions so they don't want to offer moves that's fine, but give us the information and the option. Just make it known if you move now you won't be able to move to an Asian server later.

fonmahamin Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 What if We create a new character on one of these Aussie servers. When we get the free transfers for our other toons in april, we send them across to an Aussie server. Does the character we previously created on the Aussie server then get included in the legacy family that just got transfered across. or will it be left out of the existing legacy family
Fafryd Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Just a comment. Many Australians are still playing almost exclusively on the US servers until the transfers happen. I have 4 toons and, with legacy benefits and continuing to want to gear them up, I don't want to play on the Aust servers til they change to them. So, it will get significantly worse, I think, late April.

If you get that character to Legacy level before the server transfers, whichever Legacy is the highest level is the one they merge into.
Evgen Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 The new character gets merged into your existing Legacy.

I would think it would be which one is on the server first, or has there been a Bioware post about that?
aarka Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I would think it would be which one is on the server first, or has there been a Bioware post about that? At the guild summit they said the higher legacy will take over.
Knightsilver Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Were the emails ever sent? I never got one and i'd like to transfer my characters over to the oz server since i'm battlling lat spikes 30000 to 50000 at times on the US servers.
Anarchistic Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) They were, I received my e-mail on the second of March to say I was eligible to transfer: JOIN THE ASIA PACIFIC SERVERS You qualify for a one-time, free character transfer to our Asia Pacific servers. This transfer is targeted for late April and we will be sending you additional information on how to request your transfer in the coming weeks. For more details on Character Transfer, including limitations, please visit our FAQ. If you request a transfer, the following will not be moved as part of this request: • Friends List • Auction Items • In-Game Mail • Guild Membership Just waiting for the confirmation as to when we will be allowed to transfer sometime this month.

Bhaers Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 As a player who didn't grey market the game and jump the queue (Not that there is anything wrong with that) I can say it's bloody wonderful to play at 40ms or less ping. Amazing. If nothing else, it's locked me into the only MMO that has a workable server on Aussie soil. Now, if we could just train the idiots in General that it's "Your mum" and not "Your mom"
Knightsilver Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 I can only assume it was for a selective few then unless another batch gets sent out.
Anarchistic Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I can only assume it was for a selective few then unless another batch gets sent out. It wasn’t for a select few, the email and transfer is for anyone who meets the criteria: Only characters created on The Old Republic servers by February 28, 2012, 5:01PM EDT, 7:01PM NZDT, 2:01PM HKT, 2:01PM SGT qualify for transfers. Characters created by qualified players on a non-Asia Pacific server after the February 28th deadline will not qualify for transfers to Asia Pacific servers. 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. Hope that helps explain things a little better
Knightsilver Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 hmmm the mystery deepens. It does explain it better thanks for that but i registered in early february and from oz. is it worth contacting customer support?
