Will a Character/Account be stuck on one server?

In games like Rappelz and Silkroad Online, a character, including all its accomplishments, stats, etc. are stuck on the server you made it on with no means of transferring them. This makes playing the game with multiple people, especially large guilds difficult. My question is are there going to be multiple servers for the English version of Perfect World or is it going to be one large area where all English players can interact? Also, if there are multiple servers, will a character be able to transfer between servers?


Thanks for the hard work everyone, and heres to a successful release of the best new MMORPG!

    PVP server, and carebear server.
    Since it will be insanely easy to level on the carebear server, they won't let you transfer characters.

    Meaning, its not a PvP server like the other one is. The carebear server has an option to turn PK on/off.

    Well, you'll have the gankers server and the non-gankers servers.

    I doubt it will be possible to move from one to the other.

    Or if you don't want to act like a pre-teen, there will be a PK on server and a PK optional server.
    I like to rub it in. Enjoying the game?

    And yes, your character will be stuck on the server you make him/her

    All the pros will gladly welcome you on the optional PvP Server.

    Welcome!

    Of course. There are pro-pve, like professional firefighters, doctors, hunters, farmers (who fight fire, disease, animals for food ;_; ,insects, bad weather, etc. in the environment)

    And there are pro-pvp, like professional lawyers, chess players, bounty hunters, peace officers, soldiers (who have to battle other players in mind and body, etc.)

    There is some crossover, and anyone can be a professional in multiple fields. Heroes can be found in both the front line of battle, and in the rear with those who provide support.

    ^_~

    (I think we may be stuck on one server, but it would be neat to be able to pay and transfer servers like in WoW.)

    Who knows... Maybe one day it will be available.

    Or maybe one server will prove unviable and they will merge them. (that's kind off doubtful tho)

    Both servers have their advantages. The PvE server will be more focused on Territorial War because people, in nature, love violence - I won't get into why they don't play the PvP server. So, War is more fun there. However, in a PvP server, PK is obviously abundant, so you don't have to wait 'til the weekend to have fun on PW.

    growing-up takes many years... CB (and assumedly OB) happens before then

    so we are stuck with the "my preferred server ruleset is better than your preferred server ruleset" infantile behaviour

    I think that it shouldn't let you transfer servers, You can levle up in the non free pk server and then go own in the pvp server, its like what World of Warcraft did, Players in PvP servers can transfer to PvP and PvE servers, but players in PvE servers can only transfer to other PvE servers.
