Transfer Restrictions and Roleplayers

[Kuroneko_Jutah]

Trying is certainly out of the question I guess.

Only because no one wants to throw out their investment in their current home to help establish one elsewhere.

Wait and see how this free transfer system they're doing in 4.0 works, I believe it's highly possible they'll be marking more than just the new EU worlds as eligible for free transfer, plus they're going to offer you full refunds on your houses and even (correct me if I'm wrong) a method by which an entire FC can transfer over almost entirely intact.

It's not perfect. But it's a step in the right direction.

Someone mentioned Siren. I'm starting to think we need to promote that. Might make an alt over there just to see how the community is. I have too many connections on Balmung right now to leave it, too many of which have Houses they're not willing to lose because no matter how much housing another server may have, Balmung has perpetuated this instinct of Housing Rarity in players. Its like the Recession back in 2008; if you had a job, you clung to it no matter how crappy it was, cause there was nothing else.

When last I was in Siren it had a small but budding RP community. That was some months ago, however. Also, at the very least, if they mark Siren as a server to transfer to for free come 4.0, not only will it cost you nothing up front, iirc SE said they're giving full refunds on housing and even allowing for entire FCs to transfer over if they wish.
