Question for DEV Servers in ARR?

[Sevokevo_Royuki]

I am currently on Excalibur.

If Excalibur remains in Japan, they will most likely allow me to change to an "Existing World" (in name only) that has been relocated to NA.

I believe that at launch all the servers are still going to be in Japan and then the new Servers will be different names.....

IF they would do the route of saying this server goes to NA... then they would either shut that server down for like a week or 2...

OR... DO a Save Maintenance on the game, then go and set up new servers in NA, then in the course of a day or so... (depending on Internet Speed).... Transfer ALL Game Data over to the NA office....

All this sounds so time pressed other then just setting up the new servers in NA and then just making it available for new Character Creation only for the first few months so the Economy can be properly built.


Also People should not freak out because I am sure the Latency of the Servers should not be as bad as they are now in 1.0...

I suppose Yes.

I want to switch on an EU server at release. It will be really stupid if current player can't switch on server in their region.

But i can expect everything from SE :S

Dude... you totally missed what the Community Team said... They already answered this question...

They Said at launch there will not be ANY World Transfer right at launch....

They said that if characters that wish to transfer to a new Server at launch then they would have to make a new character on that new server...

Region Servers included....

Damn you people give me a headache.

Greetings!

I have a bit of follow up information in regards to world selection when A Realm Reborn begins.

For those of you that have friends that are not currently playing and you would like them to play with you, rest easy knowing that new players will be able to select the existing worlds instead of the newly created worlds. However, in the case that there is a large amount of people who come back to the game and the world reaches it population cap, the regular rules will apply and there is a possibility that we will suspend new character creation on these worlds.

Also, for current players, it will be possible to create a new character on the new worlds. However, existing players will not be able to move to these new worlds for a certain period of time.
