Changing Servers at Release

[Tonkra]

I'm wondering..

Yoshi P. said that we are going to receive Servers with regional Mirrors for lag reduction.
So there are going to be server which data centres are located in europe, usa and japan.

But didnt he mentioned, that we wont be able to transfer to an other server directly at release? or did i missunderstood that, and he only meant we cant transfer to one of the new servers (who are for newcomers only)


can anyone clearify? it would not be useful when we dont get the chance of a server transfer when one of the ARR features are "regional server"?


greetings

Oh i wish he rectify this too. Please pretty please..

It wouldn't make much sense if we couldn't transfers servers since that would lead to increased lag on the servers with all the returning members... He most likely meant we can't transfer to the new comers only servers...

Also we shouldn't forget all the community reps on the NA forum are on vacation...

He worded out in a way that is no answer for if we can transfer servers again during release, mostly we know we can't transfer to new servers, but aside that can we transfer to old servers? There isn't an answer for this yet.

The fact Alpha had almost zero lag should pretty much tell you this isn't the case.

Let us not forget that the commercial version of the game will have much more players than the alpha testers... I assume there were a lot alpha testers but in the commercial release there will be all the alpa tester (for the most part), non-alpha testers and new players... although I doubt they may all be on the same server in the same time... it is still a possible for server activity above what was tested in the alpha test... that is why they are still doing stress tests in the beta test... (I can't say much about the alpha test since I wasn't a part of it, so there may have been crazy stress test there too)...

I must say that 2.0 got a lot of alpha testers confused what is the difference.

Don't get what you mean...

but wouldn't that mean that we would all be stuck on the Japanese servers? Unless we create a new character on the regional servers?

I would imagine they would eventually provide server transfers down the road, but at launch it's just to chaotic to pull off.
