metaverseoz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yep I can totally understand why they've started with 3 only - it's relatively was to ramp things up if the demand's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroNash Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Starting with 3 servers is the best move IMO, people are thinking about over population, what if they decided to have 6-7 servers the asia pacific group will spread out amongst them and we may not have any servers with a decent amount of players. This way we are guaranteed to have servers with a high population and if it becomes too much more will be opened. More players are better than less players imo.

Wesgile Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 How is it Singaporean server when the server is physically located in Australia ? the ping would be worse than US... "Oceanic Server Names and Launch Timing" wonder why they changed it to "Asia Pacific" now though. i did see when the thread title was "Oceanic" and really it was more appropriate than it is now.

michaelra Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Owww.. no more excuse in PVP when you die: "Laggggggggggggggg" Can't wait for tonight. I hope we don't have (or long) queues considering everyone will be bundled in one server for each game type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkfiretiger Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) This is briliant, I just hope that those emails get out soon becuase the lag on my imperial server is killing me. Also when is the digital upgrade pack price going to be fixed? The FAQ states that it will be arround $10 aus but when I go to pay for it it comes up as $30 Edited February 29, 2012 by Darkfiretiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idomeneus Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Crap. The fact that my fiancee set her country initially as US probably means she wont be offered a transfer. That's crap. Two lvl 50s now rendered useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bovverim Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Will be able to access them through our existing client or do we need to download a new Asia Pacific client? Edited February 29, 2012 by Bovverim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leweegibo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Im assuming there wont be any PVE->PVP or vice versa transfers allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Stephen/Bioware, Please provide an update on what happens with our Legacy points ASAP. The community has been requesting this info for weeks now. Why is it so hard to get this info?? Also as our friends in EU/US cannot come, can you please give some indication on when wider server transfers will be implemented. Our guild wont be taking up the offer to transfer as we cant bring our friends with us - bit of a gap in the implemenation if you ask me but a real sticking point for many AU players in mix US/EU guilds. To end on a high note, thanks for support AU servers as I really think this will be great but somewhat soured right now because of the above concerns that you will simply NOT communicate to the community on. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffleighB Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Really looking forward to this After playing mmos for about 8 years on us based servers - really hoping to see the lower latency and general stability Just hoping to find a guild on the PVE server that will do ops in the AEST evenings at about 7.30pm to 8 start - and not too hardcore I think the comment earlier - at least on The Harbringer - does not seem to be many guilds that are run by people who are experienced at running a guild which raids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. from the FAQ at http://www.swtor.com/info/faq/game#q400115 How do I know if I qualify for the free character transfers? To qualify for free character transfers, players must meet the following requirements by Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 5:01PM EDT, 7:01PM NZDT, 2:01PM HKT, 2:01PM SGT: You specified that your country is Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Singapore during your account registration process. Redeemed an Official Game Production Registration Code on http://www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com Code Redemption Center. Have had or currently have entered a valid recurring payment method or redeemed a Pre-Paid Game Time Code. 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. had they changed their address to a valid one from Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia or Sheep Land before the designated date they would of qualified for the transfer. It's what some Americans did in the Oceanic guild I am in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So changing it should make no difference at all. Probabily too late now anyways but can you confirm this trick worked? If this is the case then this will make me very angry that we are lied to like this by Bioware PR team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraas Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Also what happend to the RP-PvP server? ^ This. To all those that are saying that "at least we have 1 of each server type". We don't. There is no RP-PvP server listed there, which for me and certainly more than a few others, would have been the server of choice for both community and server-type rules. Any update on when this will become available? And if so, will those like me, be offered free transfers of our toons to that server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
