Noemercy Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I am still yet to see bioware mention this but the game is getting pretty unplayable on the lower pop servers, and the problem can only get worse. Someone leveling to 50 realises that it is simply not worth going onto a dying server, therefore our pop can't increase. Someone who has sunk 30 days of playtime into this game is just getting screwed over completely, because there are about 5 guilds on the empire side, recruiting is impossible, pugging is mostly impossible, and everyone knows everyone. Sincerely, everyone from hedarr soongh, please save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskyJax Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 From 3/1 "Hello everyone. I can absolutely understand the frustrations expressed here, and I appreciate that for the most part, you're being constructive in your comments. Here's a little more insight into the situation. The character transfer system is being actively worked on by the development team. It's a large, complex project, made more complicated by the Legacy System - and it has to work perfectly. As always, it is not the only task the team as a whole is undertaking, but it's a priority. It has not been deliberately delayed, nor is it being 'held back' for any reason. As you know, the first stage of the system will be a one-off, optional transfer for those who are based in the regions defined in our FAQ. At some point after that, we'll bring a more fully-featured character transfer system online for all to use. I can understand the frustration of those of you who have been playing on the US servers and waiting for transfers. We know your enthusiasm and excitement for the game - you wouldn't have taken the steps you did to get the game earlier than the official launch if you weren't enthusiastic. We're working as hard as we can to get the system in place. If we could have brought it online earlier, we would have. However, priorities post-launch had to be directed towards the game itself. The team's been working flat-out to improve the game, including bug fixes and additional content. When we announced our launch territories last year we knew many more fans were excited to play The Old Republic. That's why we moved quickly to launch in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore, with more territories being lined up for future launches. Our primary focus when launching in any new territory has to be to reach more players. Ultimately, that's best for the continuing success of the game. We want everyone who wishes to play on the new servers to be able to do so, hence character transfer being offered. With that said, in this case we felt it was important to get the game into the hands of new players as soon as possible. That, combined with our post-launch development priorities, meant that character transfer did not make our launch date for these territories. The development team remains committed to delivering a robust character transfer system for all, with our first priority being for Asia-Pacific players. If we can bring the system to you earlier than expected, we will, but for now we’re aiming towards late April.

I swear if they expect money im going to break my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
