Balancing the Servers - Server Transfer Option

Posts: 3 Arc User
I have recently submitted a ticket about the possibility of letting the people that want to return to the east server do so from eu. Their response was to post my opinions in hopes that the developers and the ones making the decisions see this. I wrote that if you would please allow the ones to return to the east coast server since this is where we are from. The reason we played there was cause the timezone worked better for our schedules and is which server we chose. If we wanted to play on the eu server we would have started on that server instead of the east coast one we were past on. Now that i have merged i am no longer able to do any events, resource wars, territory wars, and now nation wars since the time for that is based on the eu server too. I think if you allow those who want to return you should give them a one time transfer back to the east coast in which we started from. If you do, it will probably even out the Nation wars so its not so unbalanced. Last time i was able to go it was 690 eu, 490 et, 340 ti, and 390 on average not exact. Which discourages ppl to even go knowing since its pretty much a loosing battle. I even know of ppl quitting due to the change which is unfair to those who spent a fortune to play and now is unable to do anything except dailies from the time change. Consider the option of letting the ones who want to go back return to the east coast. I also i think the transfer stone would be a good idea as its available in most other games like Final Fantasy, Aion, League of Legend, etc. If others support what i am saying as well i employ you to speak up as well. Thank you for your time and hope this does some good.

While I do support the idea of being able to be moved to a different server (even if it's only like once every so many time), you are selfishly aiming for people who got moved to the EU server, apart from the tiny part that might somehow suggest you think it should be available to all by the reference you made to other games having that option.
There are plenty of EU people stuck on the east server because there was no EU server to pick from when they started, so your comment about "if we wanted to play on the eu server..." is kind of moot.
Everyone should be able to, and it has been suggested a gazillion times. Can't someone just sticky one of those threads and close all other duplicate suggestions The only fitting image for this forum.0 -
GMs from customer support told you to post here not cause the developers might see it but cause they are too lazy to deal with anything. Devs are in china they will definitely not see it. Only hope is if our CM sees it and suggests it to their higher ups but we all know how well that goes. (not domino's fault)
PWI really needs server transfer for many reasons and i support this but who knows if it will happen.0 -
OK OK OK.
Ill check the logs if this is not in their anywhere ill log it. Yes the argument is right for the transfer. If it is logged already I can not log this again.
Thanks.0 -

even so i choose the east coast server i didnt chose the eu so me being selfish isnt a factor. Those eu ppl you say are stuck on the east coast well the also started there they didnt get move from eu to east. So your comment is irrelavant to my post.0 -
You didn't choose an EU server but you are in an EU server and there is nothing you can do about it... So it seems to me as the same situation than the EU in a NA server.0

Broke the quote up because yay formatting, anyway;
No, it is not irrelevant to your post. You didn't have a choice when you got merged to EU. People that started on a US server because there was no EU server to choose from also didn't have another choice.
Regardless, it's not going to happen anyway so you'll have to deal with it.The only fitting image for this forum.0 -
I am dealing with it, this was just to see if it was possible; not to be mean, selfish, or demeaning. It was to support my friends and see if the developers can help with the situation. It wouldnt only benefit me but e1 who are stuck in a server not in their timezone. So please stop being so negative and let me help those in need.0

I've been on PWI for a while, it was my second mmo, and when I first started I just choose the coolest server name I could find " harsh lands" sounded bad ****. Now however I've come to relize I'm in a server that is a European server and many of the people I meet, if any most are asleep when I'm on, have a had time relating and our time spent online gets wonky and timely whimey. So I submitted a ticket, which sent me here, wondering is there any way to server switch. Is anyone else interested in doing something like this or has the same idea. Pwi has just merged most servers into three main ones so I know it's possible. Id like to continue to play and spend money but would rather not have to start from scratch.0

Oh I've been on pwi for 7 years btw0

@mannyack Took your thread out of QA, where it did not belong, moved it to the correct forum, and then merged it into the thread already on the suggestion you are trying to make.0

I'm seriously annoyed with the new change that once again ruined the most entertaining instance.
I quit the game a while ago, mostly because events were happening at the most inconvenient time. Now, I do realize this is probably the thousandth post and I may sound like I'm whining, but this really is a problem for me.
When I first joined the game in 2009, I believe, there were a lot more people on my current server, not to mention it was no problem for me to play at night back then. Also as a noob, I didn't participate in the events. However, once I got to a higher level, having spent countless hours playing and grinding. Enjoying the game. Things started to change, events were the things that made the game fun. And then Nation Wars came, hands down the most entertaining event in my opinion. At first I woke up at 5:30 am to play the game at 6am. It really wasn't a problem back then, however now I'm a working man. Things aren't that simple anymore. So I quit the game, because it got really boring. However, recently I heard about Nation Wars taking place at a more humane time for me, which meant I returned. Too late, too little. PWI changed and the Nation Wars once again take place at 6am for me.
I really want to play the game, but it's not as fun, when I only can play at times most people are offline. Not to mention not being able to participate in most of the events.
I realize I could simply start a new character on the European server, but can anybody really blame me for not wanting to? It's been years. Hours of work went into my beloved barbarian.
I'm done with my rant now, so something productive for a change.Maybe if we start a petition?
Perhaps this would make them hear or notice this? Worst thing is that most people on the game, almost never visit these forums. The server transfer possibilities would be perfect not only for the more humane times, it would also enhance the gameplay. Less ping lag.
Currently all the US players have an advantage over nonUS players. And why?
Just because at first there were no EU servers. I find it ridiculous the PWE staff does care at all for their players. Refusing to even take this into consideration.
Give me feedback, tell me why this can't happen. I'm a developer myself, so I can understand the technical information. Just give me a sufficient explanation and I'll give this a rest.
Sincerely,
an annoyed old timer of PWI.0
