MajikMyst Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Let's get this character transfer thing working! Sorry.. Not going to happen anytime soon.. For the 10th millionth time.. Just saying.. Server transfers have the potential of throwing the servers off balance and ruining the game for everyone on the server.. Until such time that server population can be preserved and maintained for the health of the server.. Server transfers are most likely not going to happen anytime soon.. Oh.. It already works by the way.. We all used it last June or July when we did our first set of transfers.. We all got a pet for doing it.. So it isn't an issue of getting it working.. It is truly an issue of doing what is best for the health of the servers.. Edited March 6, 2013 by MajikMyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, BW has stated that transfers will become available some time later this year. Thus, transfers will become available this year regardless of the population stability of certain server. The only problem with BW statement is they didn't specify a date when transfers will be available. Edited March 6, 2013 by Knockerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The button is still there, though currently disabled if you care to look.. The transfers were not done manually.. Please show me where bioware stated anything about transfers being available later this year.. I have seen and heard nothing.. But I am eager to see the source of your information.. They never do specify a date.. It is a common practice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A developer or a forum moderator made this clear in one of their comments on the forum. As for transfers, read the state of the game #2, Topic #3: Character Copy to Public Test Server. At end BW stated that, " This will also lay the foundation for our new live character transfer system that will be coming later this year." Live character transfers refers to the transfers system people have been asking for months. http://www.swtor.com/info/news/blog/20130102 Edited March 6, 2013 by Knockerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now where did Bioware state they did the first set of transfers in June-July of 2012 manually.. Because.. When I did it.. It wasn't manual.. In fact my entire guild did it.. Through the website.. Not manually.. The 2nd transfer to our final server was done manually.. The voluntary transfer, the first one was not.. The one we all got a pet for.. The 2nd one took place in like Oct-Nov or something.. Might have even been Sept.. I am not sure how long I was on Druga's Pleasure Barge.. It was at least a month or so.. Nope.. It is your claim, you have to support it.. I lived it.. I did it.. There was nothing manual about it.. You say they said they did it manually.. Ok.. Let's see it.. By the way, the character transfer for the PTS is currently broke.. Tons of people can't copy characters.. So things aren't going well..

Your automated server transfer was likely the result of waiting too long and having he server you were playing on shut down. At that point, you're right, characters were automatically transplanted to the destination server. Prior to this point, however, you had to go in and manually select which characters you wanted to move and which ones stayed. I know I personally did this simply to establish my legacy level on another server that I was thinking of migrating to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
