thomasgallant Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 dude, really... i just got done for the day, waiting for a phone call to go to my buddy's... so, AT THIS TIME, i do have time to waste...about an hour... then use this time to reafirm your knowledge of the transfer system.. re read everything and then when you have a firm grasp of how it will work I am sure you will see that your requests are a bit over reactive and over reaching, and you will likely (hopefully) learn that like the rest of us you will be able to wait until tomorrow morning to see if your server will be on the list.. if not you might have to check back on the forums later in the day considering they said they will be updating the list as new servers join the transfer lists.. I really hope that you can use this time constructively and that the reading you do helps you better understand the transfer process. If it doesn't I am sure you will be returning to our forums soon to cry a bit more about not getting enough notice ahead of time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totaltrash Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 This is not a patch, not new game content or a bug fix. Server transfers that require the user to act also require Bioware to inform aforementioned users. In Bioware's statement, it says clearly that once a Destination server fills up, other destinations will open for transfer. Hence, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Active subscribers may be on vacation, business trips, finals, hospital etc. or cannot login due to other valid reasons. If someone misses the transfer window to Destination server "X" and is later forced to move to Destination server "Y" and therefore cannot play with his guildmates anymore, that IS a big deal. So, it is indeed Bioware's responsibility to make a real effort and keep Origin Server subscribers updated and informed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even send an e-mail to the account holder. Pretty sure they're on top of that. EDIT: Also, business trips, finals, hospitals ~ I would think there would be more important things to worry about than SWTOR at this point.

I am assuming, (yes assuming i know) but id assume bioware would ensure that everyone they send a request out to will have a spot on the destination server.. but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells you to go tot he forums and check. The forums tell you to check back regularly for updates. You have to go to the forums and log in to start your character transfers. You can't do it any other way. They also used facebook, twitter among other things that direct you to the forums. If they send you an email, where they going to tell you where to go? I bet it is the forums where it says keep checking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 i was under the impression it was fairly well spelled out in their dev post about it... though maybe i read to much into it when i read it the first time It's funny that you guys are so eager to point out that such a small % of the player base reads the forums when it helps you explain why they make sure to post more info on twitter than they do here and so on. If so few players read the forums, it would be logical to assume that very few players know many details about the transfer process, or are even aware that it exists. They should probably be even more proactive in making people aware of their options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't specifically mean you when I said that, although it gets thrown around quite a bit on here. A lot of people seem to believe that 10% or even less of a game's player base actually visit the forum on a regular basis, I for one have friends who play this game that wouldn't have even known about the upcoming transfers without me specifically telling them about it. So it's not a very big stretch of the imagination to assume that my friends aren't the only ones that are completely out of the loop. A LOT of people don't visit the forums much, if at all, so really, it's not that silly at all. Edited June 12, 2012 by Celebrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I don't know how necessary a personal e-mail is, but really, it can't be that hard to punch out a copy/paste message to be sent to players that have active *or* inactive accounts with characters on a server that is listed as an origin server. It would also probably go a long way in making people who aren't playing the game anymore aware of the transfers, maybe pull some old players back in.

Celebrus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) They are sending out e-mails... Oh. Well there we go. I guess I wasn't completely out of my mind with that idea then. Thanks for making me aware of that Lupie. I think I may have even glanced over that already, not sure why that part didn't stick. Just so you know I wasn't trying to complain about it, just trying to say that there are definitely people that would be better served with e-mail notification.

Malnard Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 is asking for 24hr notice sayin my time is more important than the next fella... if you say so. that's not what i was sayin. I/You/General public, knew about server transfer during e3 when they announced it... If you play games and do not participate in reading coverage of the largest game conference, there is nothing people can do about it. If you are invested in a game following the coverage shouldn't be that big a deal. Cluing into patch notes should be a good indicator of being ready for new things.

misskaly Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They already said in devtracker that transfers from an origin to a specific destination server will remain available for a long while. If a destination server "fills up", that just means no other servers will be opened for transfer to it. So there's no golden window of time, and you won't be moved to a different server than your friends or guildmates. No need to panic :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
