Dozer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 There are so many servers that are low population. What is going to happen to the servers that 98 or 99% percent of the active population leave? I am on Rwookrrorro and even during prime time hours we can't even get a single PVP match started anymore. I could see most everyone leaving the server if possible. SO your seriously going to allow servers to stay open with no one left on them? I don't see the point of only allowing transfers as a way to better allow players to group up in the game. There is just flat out to many servers, and anyone who doesn't sign up for a transfer during the free window is going to get left alone on an entirely empty server. I also am in shock you transfered 1000's of people to asian/pacific servers, but the servers that have maybe 100 active/semiactive players can't get help for another 2-3 months..

monkgryphon Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If the other 3 guys leave you alone, then I suggest following them with the free transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceX Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'd stay and claim my spot on the throne as the Best PvP and PvE'r on the server. BOW TO ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livnthedream Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 this is the server merge everyone wants. this way you get the choice of where to go, and have the chance to preserve your name if you want it. this is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felioats Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm a little puzzled that they'll be offering transfers off of low pop servers to high ones. It sounds like a great way to make the problem worse. What they need to do is x-server LFG or mergers. The latter would be unacceptably embarrassing.

mothermoy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 read todays q&a he still never said how it will work. my guess is they are going to offer free from the overpop to underpop and make you pay for the underpop to over pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydrophobicFish Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 What if you're all alone on a server? What would you do? This fine gentleman here has a couple ideas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED5SEiMTN-M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyBro Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Even if it is set up to where people can only tranfer for free from light pop servers to light pop servers if the community comes together and picks four west coast servers(pve and pvp and rp of each) and the same for east coast it would work IF we make it work. But seeing how things are and how most people act this is asking a lot haha. Just a thought.

Felioats Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I have read it, maybe you should! Maybe you should read it again. DrakeAssaShin: What is being done to address low population servers? Dallas: The Character Transfer Service, as mentioned above, will be offering free transfers from/to specific servers. This should allow the most motivated players to get onto a higher population server. They check, double check, triple check, quadruple check and quintuple check these things before posting them, too. No doubt about it, they intend free transfers off of low pops onto higher ones. Edited May 2, 2012 by Felioats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about it, they intend free transfers off of low pops onto higher ones. Which makes logical sense. You make it easy to move from a LIGHT to a STANDARD (because STANDARDS are still healthy and they have head room for transfers. Once people get done moving around, you issue vacate notices to the really low pop LIGHT servers and then close them after the notice has expired. That way, you give people as much freedom to choose (as is realistic, NO you cannot transfer to a HEAVY-FULL server), then pare down the server count by euthanizing the really unhealthy ones. Net result, fewer servers, more population density on the ones remaining. Rinse and repeat over time as needed through the life of the game.

Leggomy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 He kind of skipped this part: Dallas Dickinson (Senior Producer, Live Services): We will be rolling out our Character Transfer Service in early summer. First we’ll have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice So at first you wont just be able to transfer wherever you want. LATER they will allow broader transfers. I would suggest everyone double check their facts and not leave out stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't offer free transfers to high pop servers... No MMO does this... They will offer transfers to healthy populated normal servers to make them more heavy and healthier... And them likely phase out the low pop ones after everyone made their server transfer choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporin Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 They should add in which servers people play on also, as theres a few in this thread that you sure don't want to be near if they move you! You know who you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
