@ pwe, with all your cash grab options, why are there no shard transfers?

just wondering if these will come in time? my friend is playing on a server with her friends, and im playing on with mine, i know and she knows her friends have the collective attention span of a rodent, and she's going to be stuck @ like level 40 having to reroll and shed rather just transfer here at that point.

silly situation haha, but i was wondering if shard transfers will come up in the cash shop any time soon?

    Because soon there's only going to be one shard to rule them all. I don't know the timeframe on that but that's what I remember reading in an interview somewhere.

    He's saying they will merge the 3 servers into one at some point.

    Neverwinter uses the same type of single-shard, multi-instancing technology that Star Trek Online uses, right?

    Yeah, it's that same idea. We firmly believe that's how we want our games to work, on a single shard with individual instances. So you don't have to worry about "I can't play with you because you're on a different shard." However, there are limitations to that technology, and so we anticipate that when we launch, because the interest has been so high, we will have temporary multiple shards. We have things in place that preserve, say, unique guild names across the shards. Once things settle down a bit, we'll bring everyone back to a single shard.
