Legacy only applies to one server?

[ModernCrusader]

So I logged in yesterday for the first time since game update 1.2, and I was all ready to put together my family tree and map out my legacy abilities and stuff.

But, you see, when I play MMO's, I create different characters on different servers. For instance, my guild is on one server, so I created my main there. Some of my friends play on another server, so I created a different character to play there with them. And right at launch, when server populations were crazy, I created a third character on a server that wasn't full when my other 2 had nearly hour wait times.

And I don't have that much free time to play, so none of those have reached level 50 yet. But I was really hoping to put my legacy together.

 

And then I realized that apparently your legacy only functions on one server. So in other words, it seems to do me about zero good whatsoever. Maybe in update 1.3, they can make legacies cross servers? It seems to me that that would be logical... Because I think a large majority of their players don't have the time to play so often that they have multiple level 50 characters all on one server.

 

Has anybody else had a problem with this? And why can't legacy be across all servers, so when they say "all your characters," it can actually mean all your characters?

It's always been stated that Legacy applies to a single server.

If you have less time to play you aren't forced to play on multiple servers.

Because different servers are, in a way, alternate dimensions. It would make no sense to have a single family across 100+ dimensions.
