its mid september. where is our transfer?

[Devilray]

I have zero doubts that if they really wait 2 to 3 months to implement transfers, then entire friend groups will miss out on playing this game together. I have at least 2 friends that will simply give up and move on before then. I can't even begin to state the disappointment I'd feel if this were truly the case.

In my opinion, getting separated friends back together should be the #1 priority for Yoshi right now unless he wants a significant portion of his player base leaving this game with a bad opinion of it.

I agree. It is unacceptable to force you to not be able to create characters on servers and with no transfer option after this long... Especially when most people in this day and age know what a MMO is after WoW; MMO gamers are expecting the same caliber. You are basically shooting yourself in the foot for not opening up more servers from the start and not even letting people play with their friends, create characters, or transfer... it is just moronic moronic x 100. You just lost a TON of casual subscribers thanks to these careless errors. However, I bet they didn't even have the financial backing in the beginning till they proved enough players would play the game to increase the server load, etc. Like I can't help but rant about how much fail that is is in the opening of a hyped game, that was marketed to be version 2.0 of a failed game, and begging people to come back to try it... Horrible. The only saving grace for this game now is for the current, devoted players to be very happy about the game and convince others to play. SE's next shot in gaining more players honestly will not be till they can start putting out public advertisements for an expansion. They lost their first golden window of opportunity.

What's the problem with a reroll? Is your character or your friendship more important? If your frienship is more important then I would take the reroll rather than add to the hundreds of complaints.

Either way, my point is is that this happened on the release and was a long-term issue. If I was still in college and tried to get my non-MMO friends to play this game, there is no way in hell they would have played because they would not have been able to create characters or even buy the game. Like I said, you lose a ton of casual subscribers when the hype is so big on release like that. And to add on to that, everywhere where I live (Los Angeles) was sold out for physical copies of the game, and DIGITAL sales are suspended... yeah good luck getting more subscribers. Most people who don't usually play a game like this who gave it a chance have already moved on. Maybe now, it is much easier to get friends into the game, but the golden window of hype the game once had is gone.

Im still curious to see how much these transfers will cost. I personally think they should either make them really cheap or free to encourage people to spread out to these new servers that are basically empty at this point. I dont see tons of people flocking to pay 15 dollars to transfer when it was sorta SE's fault that we couldnt create characters on the same servers as our friends/family. Im all for them raising the price at a later time, like a month after they start transfers raising the cost. Just my opinion though so please dont rage at me for it

I don't mind paying up to 25 bucks, but I think for people that are on a heavy server they should allow free transfers to a less populated server to free up space.

they said they might open transfers in NOVEMBER

I don't know how this relates to my comment, which was a response to someone saying it was a "reasonable guess" to say transfers would start Wednesday (i.e. today).

No such thing as eu server. Its all NA

Im assuming your jut being a troll, but they are NA/EU servers and they are all designated either NA or EU preference servers.

[Ewyrm]

They already had a working transfer sysytem. They did transfers in Beta 3, so there is no reason that we should be waiting so long to be able to transfer now. I understand people that are on the servers they want to be on think other stuff is more important but to those of us cut off from our friends and our LS/FC this is the most important issue right now. The please be patient BS is getting really old really quick.

I think Meow's point was that the NA/EU servers are physically located in NA, so if you're under the impression you'll get a faster ping is flawed if you live in EU and think the server resides in EU.

Your point is true too. But one major reason for choosing a EU server if you live in EU is latency. And I think that is what the OPs complaint was to begin with. As I see it, the only reason to choose EU is time zone...

Probably during TGS...? <yes please>
