It would be nice to make one character and be able to play on any server, not just restricted to the one server you created it on.

Also, chatting with players on different servers would be nice.

And what about item transfers from a player’s main character to their alt character and back again.

    Start the game so the launcher comes up click on start so the game itself starts. Next there should be a little message from the GM's just welcoming you to PW. Click next and you will see a window asking for you to choose servers and log in. After you have logged into a server a new window will come up in which you should see a big black box on the righthand site. At the bottom of that you will see some boxes one which should be highlighted as "Create". Click on that and it will show you the different races and classes.

    BTW! Welcome to PWI! :)

    Firstly, No. Just No.

    Secondly, why?

    Thirdly, from the first 2 parts I guess you mean transfer from character 1 on server 1 to character 2 on server 2? If so, then no, Just no, If you mean on the same server, you can already do that with the bank.

    I think it would be awesome if players are able to transfer character from one server to another. Let say I have a character on a PvP server, but I get sick of getting killed all the time while questing, I would like to move that character to another PvE server. I understand that this will bog down the servers with all the requests, so maybe offer it on a limited basis: once or twice a month (or some period) or maybe even with a small fee.

    ****.

    You could just grind to 80+ on the carebear server then go PK on the PvP server.

    I can see MAYBE moving from one PvE server to another or one PvP to another once the second only opens (with a level cap in place for a set period when the new server opens to keep people from bringing a swarm 6x or higher over and just crushing everyone as they hit 30, perhaps), but even that's pushing it a bit.

    No way should PvE characters be able to move to PvP servers, or vice versa. You made the choice to play on the PvP or PvE server type, live with it.

    Ok.. That was a bad example of moving between different server type. How about moving characters between same server types? I am willing to pay a small fee if that's what it would take to move my character to another server (same type). Maybe I have a friend who's been playing on a different server, wouldn't it be nice if I (or my friend) can move our characters to the same server without having to start over?

    This is the reason why I suggested this. A friend was lvl 20 on Heavens Tear and I was lvl 20 on Sanctuary, I had to make a new character on Heavens Tear and now I'm behind.

    Hmm, shall we think about this for a moment. Let's say that I don't want to be pked at lower levels, so I go onto one of the PvE servers. Then, once I get into my 80's, I decide I want to PK people lower than me, but can't because of my server. Oh, wait, because of this idea, I can now go over and PK, and no one is going to mess with me because I am so high. But now I am red for 10 hours, and can't take a chance leveling because of it. Oh, I've got it, I'll switch back over so I can't get killed.

    Also, now imagine if there was one all powerful guild on a single server, and they took over every territory there. Well, they could come over to any of the other servers and take them too. Suddenly, you have a single guild getting all of the glory, and all of the benefits.

    These are just a few of the many large loopholes in this idea.

    Simple solution, limit it to one character per user per month and add a 30 day cool down. And limit it to same servers only.

    I want to get my character transferred to Heavens Tear so I can play with my friends who all decided to join the game, but since I'm o Sanctuary and everyone is one Heavens Tear, it'll be a pain to create a new character and level it to catch up. We're pretty much the same lvl just in different servers. I just want to play with my friends without doing the grind all over again.

    As for the PvE and PvP thing, the transfer should let you go to similar types (PvE to PvE & PvP to PvP) It's only fair that way.
