    In my Opinion PWI would never do this, how many people would sell accounts to transfer over. Alot of people do sell PW accounts already, but most of them don't due to alot of other Characters they like to use on there account. It would just cause alot of hassle for PWI, people could end up trading accounts and ect ect ect.. XD I think anyone would get my point. Very useless, PWI expects users to have there own accounts in the first place.

    I would like this, because I have most of my characters on a PvE server and would want too put some of the better ones on to a PvP server. but alas, I can't.

    This exact idea is one of the main reasons they will never allow this. Everyone would raise a character on PvE and then transfer it once it was high level. Kind of destroys the purpose of the PvP server.

    they should offer char transfers, after all people are paying for permanent things for their chars, so starting over on a different server would mean you will have to buy things anew, which i consider a rip off. i think it would be at least good for transfers between different server types (pve > pvp ; pvp > pve).
    other games got this feature and i can't say that due to that there has been more account sales/bots or less. and btw, it is their job to watch the activities of the players, so adding a transfer option should not be bound to that.

    I totally disagree with this. People choose a server to give their character a home, whether it be pvp or pve. Imagine how angry people on lost city would be if after they struggled and spent all that time reaching that level on a pvp server, a whole bunch of high levels from the pve server just popped on over there. If you could just hop around between servers, then you might as well just have one giant server. The economy on each server is different, the amounts of people that play them is different. If you choose to spend real money on a game, then that's fine, but make sure you spend it where you want to have the items. I do not agree even a little with allowing server to server transfers.

    I'm totally 120% with Hisuna here.

    XD I know I'd be pissed if PvE people got transferred over if I played on LC...

    And yeah, Hisuna is right about economy differences. Shaodu Cub, for instance, on Sanctuary is about 700k, more or less...I think, according to what someone told me. Imagine all the HT players moving to Sanc. just to get several cubs, bring it back to HT and sell it for 1.5mil each?

    first, LC players are so full of themselves, they think all us PvE people suck at PvP, so they shouldnt have any objections b:cute (<3 LC players) and they should just allow the transfer of money with the account, no gears or items

    I dont doubt that pve players suck in pvp compared to LC players, however....

    That wasnt the point made in the post you quoted.
    In pvp servers your questing/overall lvling speed can be greatly affected by pks, kos your guild may have, crashed zhen parties, etc. etc. none of those mean anything in tea party servers you can just get blue name and you're safe. Getting a 6x char in LC is a lot harder than getting it in any of the PVE servers unless you suck up to all PKs or pay them.

    Of course we dont want people to go pve server, safely quest and zhen to high levels then transfer to pvp.

    lol you think because u play on a PvP server it makes u a better PvPer? the logic there fails. getting pked a couple times doesnt really effect your leveling speed either.

    I think that they should make character transfer possible, but with restrictions. No transferring between PvP and PvE servers, for example, as that would cause problems. Also, they could make it a one time thing--if you move a character from Sanctuary to HT you can't move them back. They could also institute a level limit... say, only characters level 30 and under. Surely by then you know which server you want your character to be on.

    I'm not wanting to transfer my characters to another account; I can see how that would cause issues. I just want to transfer one of my Sanctuary characters into Heavens Tear. I'd be willing to pay a small amount, if that's what it would take. But I really hope they make it possible soon. With restrictions and rules, transferring shouldn't be a problem.

    No, I think because I cant run from kos, avoid zhen party crashes, get pk'd anyday, have wars anytime, overall pvp 24/7 I have a big chance of becoming a better pvper.

    A couple kills, a couple crashed zhens (bye wasted exp scrolls), a couple quests you cant finish this week thanks to pks, a couple world dailies you cant finish unless you waste money teleporting, a couple this a couple that.

    Its really simple see

    If you want to play on the PvP server then suck it up and lvl from 1 to 100 on the PvP server kk.

    If you're bored on the PvE servers because the people you want to kill stay blue name all the time and the tea parties are getting on you're nerves well I recall making posts about this before the servers went up and asking for the servers to be just servers like on the MY versions (basically the PvP server lol o.O)

    Going from PvE to PvP servers is never going to happen. They have different name databases so too many same name issues.

    However the 2 PvE servers have the same name database. No name issues. That may be possible eventually.

    Learned this when Sanctuary came out and people found they could not use names that were used in HT.

    I agree with Hisuna on this - switching characters between accounts / servers sounds like a mess..

    I was camped in safe for hours.

    I have died countless times to kos because there was no way to just switch on blue name.

    I would be much higher than 90 on the dot if I didnt die so much.

    But I would have been very bored leveling :p

    I don't usually do this, but I have to reply to this... You can't quite fully understand just how horrible a true KOS can be. If you could grasp the difficulty of being on KOS with what were THREE mayor guilds in LC server in the past, BloodLust, RageQuit and Unlimited. The sheer amount of PK that occurred was absurd, particularly in the swamps, as it's always been a hotspot for PK. The DIFFICULTY of leveling, the frustration that builds up, and there's just no magical blue name to work around it.

    If it does not make everyone a better PvPer (which it doesn't necessarily have to), it makes, whoever can overcome this, a survivalist. It's a challenge of perseverance more so than mindless and uninterrupted grinding. If I make it sound too difficult, it's because it is, some people couldn't handle it, so some people quit. So, don't assume it's "a couple of times" as it appears to be on the PvE server. This is what I can understand from what you're saying on your post.

    Because of this, transfer from PvE to PvP or such, other than impossible for technical reasons as explained above by Zoe, it is impractical, as it completely invalidates what people in the PvP server had to endure to reach the top. tyvm if you actually manage to read the wall-o-text.

    I read that wall o' text, and even though I'm in the PvE Server Heaven's Tear, I completely agree with the fact that there shouldn't be any character transfer.

    Yeah, I'm a carebear, or whatever the nickname is, but that's just how I am. I like to play with my fellow players than against them. That's my own choice, and I'm proud of it. I also understand that each server has their own economies and whatnot, just another reason why I'm against it.

    And yes, all of the people from Lost City are right. Even though I have never been in that PvP server, I can imagine what's it's like...the frustration of getting PK'd while questing, Zhening, or...pretty much anything. And with no blue name to keep you safe, you're risking your life every time you leave a city...and that exp lost from dying over and over again starts to stack up. I believe that I've only died about 10 to 15 times while leveling up on my server...I can't even imagine how many times that would be for a character my level on a PvP server.

    another mmo i played on said they had no tolerance for bots, but had enabled character trading (selling), umm DURRRRR soon enough they allowed botting for a fee & then 3-4 months into their open beta release guess who's playing computer games? ahh, other computers !!!!!11

    Maplestory does charaacter transfer for a hefty price and it just lags up all the servers. And the new ones that come out just get crowded with 100+ selling **** for millions.


    Bad idea, too much lag on LC already, don't need more carebears anyway.

    I think we should still allow character transfer within the same server for a price.
    For example, i developped 3 60+ toons on the same account and now, my wife is ready to play PWI. She won't develop a new toon but would definitely play one of mine.
    Either allow her to transfer one of my characters on her account or allow her to play a character on my account at the same time I am playing another character.

    k i didnt read half the posts but if people start talking about transfering charecters from server to server there reta...not smart think about it the only real reason i or anyone else should switch servers is to make a fresh start on a blank slate if you can tran charecters all the high levels could switch over and basicly take over the map b:shedtear so thats my opinion

    Ok so I never get into these very opinionated threads like this... but this time I am b:pleased

    PW will NEVER allow for character transfer. As previously stated, it is unfair to level on your lovely safe server with the ability to turn PvP on/off & then decide "oh maybe i'll go on Lost City now".

    Think of everytime you were grinding on an esoterica... Now imagine getting slayed again & again, usually by people much higher than you that you have never bothered. You wouldn't be able to handle it anyways lol, so don't bother imagining it.

    I am NOT asking for a character transfer to a different server but on the same PVE server.
    I agree that switching to PVP after lvling on PVE is nonsense.
    All I am asking for is to switch a character on the SAME server, just a different account.
    Or give me a possibility to log on 2 toons on my account at the same time.
