$25 for a toon transfer?

To stay on topic: My world transfer seemed automated. So it's 25$ for an automated system to run. Also, I don't think ripping people off is justified because other companies do it as well. I see a lot of people condoning things just because other companies do it.

Hm - I didn't see any announcement other than it starts Monday. Where did people get the $25 cost from?

I knew before clicking the thread that a solid portion of replies would be people upset over toon because "mommy called my action figure a doll".

People aren't upset about the term "toon" more than it is a running joke is all.

You'd be surprised. Its a joke to us maybe, but I can guarantee a good portion of them are serious.

If you check their transfer service agreement, it will said it there, it cost $25 to do a transfer. Perhaps this is not yet the final price, but I think it is also cost the same amount to transfer character in FFXI as well.

In present days, the people that have time and money to subscribe in MMORPG are the people do not worry about money. Probably spend a lot on iphone, ipod and many other luxury stuffs. You are here, whinning about an optional services that set at a price of $25?

Why is 25$ to high? I did some checking, the dollar is about on par with the yen. So 25$ is a few gallons of gas, a couple of packs of cigarettes, or a movie ticket and a drink, and maybe a popcorn depending on where you live. Why are people bitching? Just stop buying that starbucks for a few days or something and chill out! You got 5 free days to transfer, did you expect SE to do it for free forever? Time is money. Yeah maybe one trained monkey is all is needed to move the information to another server, but you have rent to pay on the building that houses the monkey, electricity to run the computers the monkey uses, a manager to guide the trained monkies and so on. Twenty-five dollars is reasonable.
