Petition: Free server transfers with new servers on Wednesday

Id imagine they'd give us a week of free transfers like most MMO's do on launch to get us into the right servers with the right people (Most of us have been forced to different servers cus of the lock downs)

But you have my backing on this just incase they dont do it.

I agree, the option to transfer should be up to the player. I don't want forced migration either. My husband and I BOTH play and of course want to be on the same server and also don't want to have to pay for either of us to have to transfer again to be on the same server.

i deleted my original character and dont plan on makeing another one until the new servers are up, but its the least they could do.

I dont think there is a need to xfer. The servers are not really overcrowded. The reason you cant login is because they lowered the cap from 5k to 2k (i made that # up, but its way lower than 5k). When they raise the cap back to 5k there should be no more login problem.

[Peyat]

Even if its at 5k I think your still gonna see the world slammed with too many players. There's a huge overhead of people that haven't/barely played the game and the population for the server base is larger than I think they are giving credit for. Jus hope the maintenance will help clear some of the congestion but I'm (hating to say it) skeptical for the first time since P3.

you couldnt be more wrong. some servers like mine (Lev) are so full not only are the concurrent login numbers caped but player creation is straight up turned off. Raising the cap like your talking about will help some of us with server full login errors but that will not remove the player creation block.

But i would like to know beforehand how they will handle it, if they do. If it's forced, how do they decide who gets it? If it's by choice, how do they free up the server space for people who want to move to already congested servers?

I get that the current servers are capped at an artificially low population, but as other have pointed out, the amount of players that have characters on the overpopulated servers that have been trying to log on and play well exceeds the maximum server capacity of 5000. So it is likely that many players would continue to not be able to play due to this.

Also, as I stated in the original post, that is only one reason that people should be allowed to transfer. Many players created characters on different servers than they wanted to play on because most of the servers were locked and that was their only choice asides from not making a character at all. This has left many players on different servers from their friends, spouses, free companies, etc. that they intended to play with. Since playing with friends is one of the major draws of playing an MMO, being stuck on different servers greatly lessens the enjoyment of the game due to no real fault of the player.

Agreed they should allow this as this is what GW2 did for a while till things settled down.
