Antoeknee Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 So after seeing the writing on the wall 3 months ago, I sucked it up and lvled up three 50's on a more populated server. This server ( that I have no intention on leaving) I was hoping to bring my other toons once character transfers were up and running. Sadly this is not the case. My question is this, How does tranfering a toon to a server I am currently playing on impact server population when it is still just me playing? Why are you not allowing me to consolidate all my toons on one server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJWyler Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Because that is not the way the system works. In all likelihood you will have to wait for paid transfers. I presume they are following this course to level out the population among a core group of servers (mega/super servers) and to even out the faction balance. Having a free for all transfer would not solve the latter problem and only beef up a couple of servers instead of a more healthy group of servers.

SydiousSWG Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 They will at a later date. This transfer is for fixing the population problems, not personal consolidation problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkdoe Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Take it easy...this is just the beginning. They've said there will be more things to come in the future. However as they love to do they wont tell us anything till it happens.... transfers to any server will prob show up eventually in one form or another so just relax for now.

Parkerdude Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Free Transfers work like this is every MMO. There are source and destination servers. You should of thought about that before you started making characters all on different servers. Transfers to any server are almost always Paid transfers and now you will just have to wait for them.

Iskareot Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 They will at a later date. This transfer is for fixing the population problems, not personal consolidation problems. Sadly this is the right answer. While sure... you did this... It's not exactly a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enochx Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 it will happen eventually. this is just step one. anything more profound than this would only cause more problems. See the formula is this...."fix the problems while causing the fewest amount of new problems". No matter WHAT they do, there will be new problems. contrary to popular (well popular on this forum anyway) opinions, Bioware actually DOES listen to the people. But we, the people, do not work and govern the company. The company's job is to please as many customers as possible. you can never please everyone....that is impossible. And there are many many other opinions other than the ones expressed on these forums. This is stage 1 of the "Too many server, too little population" quandry. Stage 2 and 3 will follow directly. You just have to be patient. They obviously can't jump to stage 2 until stage 1 is complete can they. See I think you had the right idea. I say that because it is exactly what I did. I abandoned all my characters and re-rolled on a high populated server. I will never look back. My old characters were on an RP-PVE server (don't ask me why....i don't even know HOW to RP. It just seemed like everyone on those servers were a little more mature than the ineveitble barrens chat on DK on PVE servers.). But my new server is what I like and what I should have stayed with from the beginning...a regular old PvE server. Luckily I chose Jedi Covanent which ALWAYS has a heavy to very heavy if not full population. I have been playing this game since day 2 of early access. I still do not regret leaving and abandoning my high level characters and all my lagacy levels to compeltly reroll on a new server. Best descision I ever made. I reccommend everyone do it. don't wait.....just reroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you not allowing me to consolidate all my toons on one server? Yeah, seriously, BW should have thought you personally when allowing transfers. Never mind the fact that if they allowed this everybody would most likely transfer to the same server just elevating the problem. But really who cares, because it's only about me me me.

Darth_Philar Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I guess you didn't win the destination server lotto either. Everyone is a winner with this process, even those who refuse to see it. You are currently on a dead server and will soon either have people brought to you or the option to go to them. Having a preferred destination is pointlessly creating an unrealistic expectaction that will only serve to dissappoint you when your fantasy fails to materialize in reality. Whatever server you are allowed to transfer to will be vastly superior to where you are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
