Not sure why folks have their hopes up for this... EVE Online has one server worldwide, everyone plays on it. Usually 25,000-45,000 on at any one time, one server. The decision to segregate is purely a management choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucpol Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) EVE Online has one server worldwide, everyone plays on it. Usually 25,000-45,000 on at any one time, one server. The decision to segregate is purely a management choice. I was specifically speaking of mmo's that offer various servers on diff. continents, as that is what the thread refers to in this instance. The mention of one shard or megaserver is nowhere to be found, therefore I found your comment a little odd meself Edited January 13, 2015 by Lucpol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhame Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 legal reasons. money reasons. Neither. Server population reasons. They would actually make a ton of money on transfers. It has to do with server capacity and lag. Euro side players may then complain if they do war zones or raids and their latency issues are out of control. Being vocal about that deters future customers and upsets the ones they already have. I am all for this feature though. I have 8 pvp 55 players still euro side with lvl 50 legacy that I had to give up once I retired from service in Germany and moved back stateside. I have been playing since launch and to say that I am more than miffed at having to legacy start over from scratch is putting it mildly. Eq2 and a few others do it. In fact it can be done in a matter of seconds. I would be happy to pay double CC so I can get all my Master crafters back. But hey, money lost on their part I guess.

Lucpol Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Why, it disproves all the myths that different countries "cannot" play together or transfer pixels/toons. True, if that was the question raised, but the question referred to cross-continental server transfers . Still well done for pointing that out, to those who may be unaware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heizluefta Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 One point has to be explained i think: Many people, including me, decided to choose a US server right at launch of the game. Ive been playing SWTOR one year after beta. Then everyone left (from my friends, US, Canadian, Germans, etc) and i came back half a year ago. Instantly being stuck on US server without a choice. Now that lag issues and latency is playing a totally different role than earlier at launch, id really like (need) to switch to EU. Because of having more "friends" maybe again and because of gamebreaking issues in terms of lag and so on. Not, that such a transfer would solve all probs. But it wouldnt hurt more ! And: if the only reason is money, or policy, or EU-US-Rights-System-Differences.....hmm i dont understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomiSotto Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I am resigned that it never happens. Another few months, and I will just give up on my lonely EU toon, and create a new one in NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomiSotto Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah, I remember back in the days, Obsidian had a bug in its final battle of the NWN2-OC. The solution was to restart the game, roll a new character and replay the game and the final battle after it got hotfixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heizluefta Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I mean: to keep it simple: This is a pure question adressed to Bioware ! I know that they dont like talking -.- ! But, shall i write 200 tickets now ? I could get a russian/or chinese guy for spamming forums until there´s an answer ! (Just joking) But: Why arent u (Bioware) able to communicate with your players ? Like other games do ? (or try) This is a really simple question (EU-US-Transfer) ! P.S.: what exactly does a community manager do ? Edited January 14, 2015 by heizluefta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calypsissmexy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 *puts on graduation cap* It will never happen and here is why. The EU has this set of data privacy laws that prevent the transfer of personal data from an EU country to a non EU country if the EU doesn't like their data privacy laws. The EU doesn't like US data privacy laws. So we will not be getting transatlantic server transfers until that changes. Write your congressman, tell him/her that you want them to update our privacy laws so you can transfer your toon. Wait, that probably won't work. C'est la vie.

Not Bioware ! And even it ws Bioware, i couldnt accept that ! I will leave and delete all my chars some day. Not now, not the next weeks. But if it stays tzhat way, being on an underpupulated server, no option to go to EU again to play with friends, ok, then ill just delete all ! That better than trying to find a way for ppl to transfer ? Edited January 21, 2015 by heizluefta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible when you agree to use the PTS you give up ownership of your data because its a test server. I'm curious though, can you transfer off the PTS server to a us server?

I started on a us server a month ago. I have millions of credits already and am about leg level 8. Its not the nightmare people act like it is. And it's your only option.
