gniok Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) So as we all been waiting for the character transfer to be available, i am thinking of which server is gonna be the right choice to end up. FATMAN, TOFN, RE is out of the question, but how can we be sure that we are not going to end on a server which probably its going to be overpopulated due to the transfers? What i am saying is that we are trying to get out of an empty server with the danger to end up on a server which will eventually get filled. What is your opinion on this matter?

BenjaminminU Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Maybe bioware will only allow a certain number of accounts to transfer to each server at once, so after 1000 people have transferred there for example, no one else can move there until the next transfer wave, then they can make sure server population stays balanced between the servers.

JerokTalram Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 my guess is you won't have a choice. They need to make sure this transfer is spread equally so it will be server A transfers to server B, etc. Much easier for them to implement and control the population distribution. Though this would suggest that they are indeed doing a server merge. I believe they've denied that are planing server merges at this point however.

KeepMe Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I also heard that we will not have a choice as to which server you will be switched to. Personally, I don't care as long as I can get a pvp match more then 5 or 6 times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gniok Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Currently i am on a pve server thinking to transfer on a pvp server. I don't think that bw not allow me to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emrill Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Until Bioware releases more info on their planned free transfers and eventual paid service, it's hard to plan where you may be specifically. I don't care where I get offered to move as long as there are more than 30ish people on during peak for the entire imperial side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_Vega Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I want to move a couple from Tarro Blood to grand master Zym, but without more character slots, I'm stuck. Stupid 8 character limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepMe Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Server transfers will be account transfers... if you re-rolled on another server and it's on a High populated server you wont be able to move that account to a server of your choice. These transfers are meant to get the lowest populated servers merged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beranzen Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I hope to move my commando from shein to JungMa. JungMa needs more RePubs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenceriker Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Everything to The Fatman, in 6 months it will continue to be the only server worth playing on. Unless you want to move your legacies twice I suggest moving there when transfers are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentinelDranoel Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Every server should at least be heavy in the evenings and weekends. 1.I would try to look at which servers are light most of the time during the week and give those players a free transfer to servers that are normally standard. To get my stats, I would look at the server pops around the time 1.3 is realeased. I honestly do not believe the transfers are coming before that update. 2.For the time period of 2 weeks I would allow transfers, this way people who are fans of the game but do not log into the servers or forums multiple times a week will get the head-up. 3.Once certain light(dead) servers are emptied I would block those off from people being able to create new toons or transfer there. 4. If possible, I would email people who have toons on a dead server and let them know they can transfer to any of the more populated servers. A server at standard and heavy is decent enough to play the game. Very Heavy and full being the best. 5. Free transfers for wanting to leave a full server with a queue will only be available during the 2 week grace period, after that it will be a paid transfer. The goal in my opinion is to get all servers to heavy status during evenings and weekends. I want all my toons on Coreilla Run(east Coast pve), because that is the first server I chose during the first minutes of early access and it has always been decent.

xorcist Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 So as we all been waiting for the character transfer to be available, i am thinking of which server is gonna be the right choice to end up.

What i am saying is that we are trying to get out of an empty server with the danger to end up on a server which will eventually get filled. What is your opinion on this matter? first of all TOFN and RE is not a word. If those are servers then you spelt them wrong... People need to learn to actually write words in forums. Are they that lazy for their fingers to hit a few extra keys?! They will probably offer free transfers from say an X amount PvP or PvE servers to one specific PvP or PvE server, just an example.

Matte_Black Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It really does them little good for everyone to move to the Fatman or whatever the big server of your preference type is. I am expecting to see free transfers to those from underpopulated servers and perhaps a small handful of overpopulated ones to a selection of servers they feel would make for strong servers. I wouldn't expect to be offered free transfers to they dying servers or the ones regularly showing as "FULL". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kourage Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Dallas Dickinson: 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. If you are truly on a dead server, you will be offered a chance to transfer to a higher populated server. You do not get to choose which server. Paid transfers will be offered after the free ones. Then you can choose.

chimex Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I am personally loving the server I am on (see below). However, if anyone wants heavy pvp, I do recommend it. Pops for WZ are 10 minutes on a bad day. I think that speaks for itself hehe. oh, and as for FP's, There are plenty of guilds who run regular events for FP's, OPS and HMs. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will let you go to any server if you pay. Free transfers not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
