macbuton Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 @JackieKo @KeithKanneg @EricMusco "I am aware that everyone has their real-life problems, and in the game, I am just a regular player. I don't have any special exceptions to plea, as I assume many players are asking for the same thing. However, this is no excuse for not resubscribing, but I want to. My internet was cut out for about two weeks, and on January 2nd, I couldn't play or get my sponsorships on that day, or perhaps it expired. Also, the USD vs. the currency where I live is four times more, so I couldn't possibly afford to resub. But I am glad to have a bunch of people in the community who have given me a sub key or Steam gift every time. I am also aware that I don't want to sound like a pity case, but SWTOR keeps me going, and the other players around me are happy and willing to sort me out with a sub for years. I have been managing about three guilds, so I am always there for them, and they appreciate me being there. Even though, in reality, my situation is challenging, I am always optimistic and help cheer people up when I am there. I help create content for them or find ways to do stuff together, or just keep them entertained and keep their minds off their own hardships. They also see me as a mediator of drama and conflicts. When I'm not in voice or in the guild, people just aren't there and do other stuff or do raids with different guilds. A friend even told me that I'm the glue holding everyone together, that I de-escalate conflicts and come up with compromising ideas. Unfortunately, that community has disbanded or doesn't see eye to eye in resolving their ideas. Perhaps it was just confusion, a lapse in communication, or a misunderstanding because I wasn't there and had to deal with real-life problems and stuff. I don't want to bring in personal issues of mine, and it is not relevant, but I had to choose family first. My mom can't walk, and she is literally level 75, so I had to pause SWTOR. I'm sure other people have similar real-life and unavoidable problems; that is part of being human. The SWTOR community is a part of my extended family; we help each other, share ideas, and stay motivated. I am deeply disheartened that I was not there for the disputes, which I have been trying to mediate and hold the community together for months, nearly half a year now. They have even reached out to sort my internet bills because I am needed around to keep the peace and de-escalate issues between players. I guess what I am hoping you take away from this is, life's difficulties often get in the way, and as much as I love SWTOR, maintaining a subscription has become increasingly challenging. I know many in the community who feel as I do, and I am hoping that you guys perhaps reconsider the sub requirement for free transfers to Shae Viszla, or perhaps be more generous to those without the sub, perhaps allowing 5 free transfers. Well, I don't want to waste any more of your or your team's time reading this. Just understand that without SWTOR or any other game that involves working together and building relationships, it brings us all hope to better ourselves and reach out and try to get better, be positive, and be good. Despite the struggle to get WiFi, to get in touch with my community, the struggle with work and health issues, for the past 12 years, SWTOR has kept me positive, and I will continue to help make this community better. Our community is smaller, but we look out for each other, just like in any community-based game. Be good." and hope . bb 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klizilii Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It would definitely be nice if anyone who has been a subscriber in the last year could get at least 1 free transfer to SV. It's a bit frustrating to be excluded for something as simple as buying a 60 day sub, having it run out and getting a new sub within a couple days of that but still being excluded because I picked an option without auto-renew and didn't set a reminder to buy more time before it ran out. I also agree with the idea that building community is important and even though 1 free transfer might not be enough to always meet up with your friends, it would go a long way allowing someone to merge their legacy and bring some of their resources over to be able to hop on and be a part of their community across all content that is free to preferred players. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duntil Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I am an Australian based player. My sub lapsed due to personal circumstances. I have re-subbed, after the required date. I will now receive no free transfers. I believe all Australian based players should receive the free character transfers, regardless of whether they are a sub or not. I also agree with the above posters. What has been said makes sense for ensuring a positive community within the game, and across all servers. The original poster has highlighted that not all dedicated players have the capacity to sub, and it feels unfair to exclude them from having any free transfers. Broadsword needs to open the door for allowing transfers to all players, even if they provide some limit on how many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwieric Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Heck, my sub lapsed momentarily because my credit card was stolen and the bank cancelled it and re-issued me a new one. So great, punish the crime victim.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreom Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just wondering. If I let this 30 day period pass and do a 1 time transfer of 1k CC i will not be limited by the amount of credits and items that I transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontLineFodder Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 no, read the transfer information again https://forums.swtor.com/topic/933296-follow-up-on-shae-vizla-server-character-transfers/?do=findComment&comment=9799491 Quote The credit and character level requirements detailed above will still apply to these transfers and all future transfers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
