    One More FREE World Change! Please

    SE now that the economies are doing better in various servers, and legacy members can which. Can we have one more Free World Transfer around the start of the ps4 release please. All my friends joined my server because I was legacy and we all wanted to play together, however; now me and a few of my RL and In-game friends are in a EU server and are experiencing latency issues and finding the server to be dead around our times. We want to switch to a NA server but that would mean for everyone to start new characters or Pay about $20 which we don't have. Please SE one more, For the Legacy Members.

    As nice as that would be, that's not going to happen.

    Outside of this one time, barely anyone is going to use the world transfer service anymore.

    From a financial standpoint on SE's side, lots of money is being generated from it these few months after the legacy-unlock, while after that barely any is generated anymore. Making it free now, while generous, would only mean they're shooting themselves in the foot.

    From a financial standpoint on the Player's side, it's $20. If that's not worth it to you, then you probably didnt want/need it badly enough. It's a good incentive to make sure that not everyone jumps ship with FC banks and what not. While cheap enough to not make it impossible to change servers.

    Short answer is: Nope, not gonna happen.

    Uh, you do realize there is no such word as a 'EU' server? The servers are only in two physical data centers based at SE HQ in Tokyo, Japan, and at Edios Montreal in Canada. A couple of the NA servers are listed as being 'recommended for European players', but that just means the server time for it is in GMT, the servers are still based in North America. So switching to another server won't really help with your latency if you're in the US and are already playing on a NA server I'm afraid.

    As much as I'd love this to happen, I doubt it will.

    I can't believe the trouble I am having. I have sent 3 Emails trying to get a character transfer due to game breaking latency of 800-1000+ ms, I have only just come back to the game after a while. Now that the character creation restrictions have been lifted I thought the customer service team would be able to help.Sadly No luck yet..... Going to send them one more E-mail before I give up. Some situations are not black and white there is such a shade as gray. I have never had such a hard time with such a simple requests.
