World Transfers

[Kraggy]

Do it like FFXI >.> It will take too long and too complicated if they got to go through who was active first or who has more achievements and stuff ; ; But meh regardless they will do it how they gonna do it..no matter what we say.

Besides..we should all get to change our name in 2.0 no? Race/gender change without name change would make 0 sense as I seen someone post on here before there last name was "Chick" lol wouldn't work too well...

Given the creative name you gave your toon I can see why names mean little to you.

Having suffered TWO XI forced transfers I don't want to have one inflicted on me here, and if they do mergers the Surname feature is a big mitigation against forced name changes so it would be asinine for SE to drop surnames.

Hey...don't hate on Sucker Punch =P It was my choice at the time...I have/had a lot of stalkers (dont really want to get into it that much) but I don't care anymore..I want my original name back ;~;

I really hope they take into account not only duplicate character names, but also retainer names and linkshells.

It's going to be hellish if this merge isn't a forced one. I have several friends in my LS that are also members of other LSs. I'm definately going to lose more than a handful of friends due to multiple shells going to different servers if they are allowed to choose their server.

Linkshell will be most likely lost, just like in XI.

Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?

Idk, let's make the rose move to another server and force it to change its name. >;D

Names mean nothing for a rose, as those were given to it by someone else

I am wondering...if we get to choose which server to transfer to...what will happen to all the non-paying characters? Where will they go? Will they choose a new server if/when they resubscribe or will they just find themselves on a new server?

I have been thinking that perhaps SE should announce that "X server is melding with Y server, but you have the option to choose a diff server before the merge.

[Skies]

Davorok: I presume that they will implement a system to change you from servers upon login or require you to do it via the internet first. And while you don't choose you remain in the 'limbo'

For those of you wondering about retainer names; they will be following the same rules that we establish for character names.
