I don't want to transfer, so WHY are you forcing me to?

[Starlord]

He didn't get that quite right. You ASSUME customers are morons, not treat them like morons. By assuming someone is a moron, it's easier to design something that a moron wouldn't be able to screw up.

While that maybe true, You also have to consider the amount of work that's being done by SE 2 Projects 1.xx and 2.0, They did the Best they can to please the customers while doing this.. what I call.. "Nearly impossible" task.. But hey.. what do I know... All I know is.. I understand the OP Plight, however, at this point of time.. Applications are put in.. not many worlds are open.. and he choose not to read before clicking.. (or even think logically he/she didn't have to do anything at all) and made an error.. not much more I can say... :/.

Here's logic for you since you seem to want to keep using that word: Why put the player's default server of transfer on their application at all? Especially if it would cause something like this because you know that's never going to end well no matter how you look at it...

Should the OP have tried to transfer? No, that's established. However, that does not mean SE should turn around and say: "Tee hee, you idiot, you tried to transfer to your own server and now we shall punish you by sending you to Ragnarok!" That's just beyond stupid. Would it really have been that difficult for the system to go: "The server you have applied to is already your default server for transfer. Application aborted."?

Apparently you didn't read the Spamming on the game on the Forums.. if you read.. you would understand you didn't have to do a single thing if you wanted to be on that world your currently on...

The way I read it, you had from the 1st-12th to cancel your own request, at this point though, your locked in.

Ya, the only fault I can find within the information is they don't make it a point to mention that "if you don't choose you will automatically be sent to the default server option of your server". Since the option for Default Server is listed with the other servers one may assume that you have to select to define your option if they didn't notice that "World Selected For Transfer" clearly states "Default Merge World" for those who haven't picked.

If you think about it though it would've been pretty goofy on SE's part if they required everyone to make an option, then what do you do about the people who are currently unsubbed do they just mix and match then across different servers? Nope, just put them on the merged server that their server was picked for that was the whole point of the above graph, the above graph made it a point to say that if you don't want to choose, then when the server merge occurs everyone who didn't make it a point to pick a server will be sent to this server.

They could however have changed it so that on the drop down menu gotten rid of the "Default Server" as an option once the 12th passed since people may have seen it after the 12th and thought oh I guess I should pick this option to move forward. Though I guess the other fault could be that instead of the information notifying you that this server is full it should have said "You have already been selected for default server" but I'm guessing that when they did pick the default server it said "This Server is Full" so with that small mess up I can understand why people may be a tad angered by it all.

Hopefully if SE does listen though perhaps they can give people the chance to pick default but only for those who may have picked the wrong server during this period of time.

We're not talking about me. I have nothing to do with it and I'll have you know I'm just fine in regard to the server merger, thank you very much.

Like I said, it is established OP shouldn't have tried to transfer. Now, get back to my question. Why is it logical for SE put an option on a player's profile that would create a situation in which they are being sent to a server they had no intention of ever going to? This could have been easily avoided via the suggestion I made in my last post and numerous other ways.

I know how fond you are of platinum armor and white horses, but come on...

Keyword "World Transfers" Do you want to Transfer anywhere? ask yourself that... :/

The OP shouldn't have clicked on Durandel. It was full when they selected it. Had they left it at Default merged world, they would have ended up on Durandel. But they already know this now.

It was user error, but SE is still partly to blame. The way it should have worked is if you choose a server that is full it should have automatically put you back to the default world transfer, not put you on another server entirely since, you know, you didn't actually move anywhere. In this particular case, I hope they fix it for you, OP.

Pretty much this. The OP obviously understands the mistake, but that's still no excuse for it being UNFIXABLE when the merger hasn't even happened yet. Bad customer service, bad public relations. Bad company.

And lets not forget how the system was in its first iteration, and that the backlash was such that SE had to go and completely revamp it. The OPs action would have been correct if they only read the first update from twitter before the revamp, which is what a lot of people would do seeing how terrible this game currently is. Casually keeping tabs isn't a crime.

Okay.. so what's to do when every Server is full? Kick someone out of there "rightful spot" to the Server when it was the OP's Mistake for doing so? Don't you think the last person that Transferred there would be pissed off because he got his spot ripped away from him? I don't think that's right either....

Probably excuse of they cannot do anything: they too busy.

The server was "full" before the OP tried to transfer (to their own server). They not only got a full message, but they gave up their OWN spot and were forced elsewhere without confirmation. Did that one spot they left open up for somebody else? No, and if did this would be a non-issue because the OP could have then just chosen to take back the "spot" they just vacated.

Meh.. i'm not going to argue this situation anymore.. I have a headache from it, I'm going to take a break then read something more entertaining and less frustrating when I get back.

OP, I hope everything gets resolved for you.
