Will there EVER be any char transfer?

Perhaps a more legitimate option would be to allow players on a PVE server to transfer to other PVE servers run by PWI, or allow PVP server players to swap amongst the other PVP servers in this version.

The company doesn't do this because they don't want to disrupt the "level balance" or economy of any server, and doing so would result in a loss of profit for PWI. Why let characters transfer items instead of making them buy them all over again?

One solution that they could implement would be to allow players to buy a "server swap" item from the cash-shop that would cost a noticeable amount (like 100 gold) for a ONE TIME server swap that is the same as your current server (pvp to pvp or pve to pve).

Transfer from a Malaysian server is a joke. And its still a risky thing to do for the GM's, because it could potentially over-populate or under-populate an entire server, or just disrupt game play even more than what is currently QQ'd about.

Character transfers wouldn't be fair to people that never played other versions. Imagine joining at the very start and having a truckload of high levels automatically running the show.

Aside from that, the client version is different, with different items.

Although they really should let you transfer from servers within PWI. What's the point of having separate east coast servers if it doesn't take much load off older servers? It's not just a matter of one individual willing to give up everything and reroll. Being MMO, all your friends must be able and willing to move and reroll with you. Convincing everyone out of an entire web of connected players is utterly impossible. So populations of new servers remain low for years until new player base builds up.

Actually, it really does come down to an individual being willing to re-roll on a different server since, at no point, is it necessary to convince everyone to re-roll. I mean, by your logic, if someone didn't want to re-roll because they liked the server it would cause a hang-up because then not everyone wanted to re-roll.


Hypothetical: transfers were allowed for X amount of gold.

A player has 10 friends that are on the older server, and wants to transfer to the new server, and has the required amount of gold. If two of his 10 friends do not have, or are unwilling to get for whatever reason, the X gold needed to transfer does that mean no one will transfer? What if 4 of his friends simply cannot afford to transfer, or simply don't want to? Does that mean the other 7 players cannot or won't transfer?


By your "web" argument, must we also take into account the friends of the 10 players as well?

Excluding a transfer option, is it really true that all of a player's friends must re-roll with them? Does five players not being willing to re-roll mean no one will re-roll? If the friends of the initial ten friends decide to not re-roll, does that mean that the ten friends will decide to not re-roll based on that?

This is where the "web" argument starts to break down because it's trying to make the claim that everyone in the web of friends must re-roll, or none will re-roll.

True, there are some who will not re-roll if their friends do not re-roll, but that is not true of everyone who has friends or is part of a closely knit group on a server. Some simply will re-roll even if no one else will.

lol it's not the same. Imagine guilds of lvl 95-100 with full +10 sets and stuff like that...

The highest lvls on these servers would be crying. b:shocked

You can always sell the account for real world cash like a whole lot of people do. Yes, it's against TOS, but people do it anyway to redeem cost and make starting over easier. It's a natural development resulting from the restrictions in place. Not saying you should, or that this is in any way justified. Only that the company made a choice, so now they live with the consequences.

telling people to break the tos is banable i believe.

Character tranfers? *Shrugs* Nah....

Gold/Money tranfers? Yes please!

I would like to be able to switch from server to server. Obviously you would have to take into account the average character lvl of the destination server. I would allow several months of lvling on the new sever before allowing any high lvl character to move.
Lets say a lvl 80 character wants to move, then you just have to make sure that he wouldn't be overpowered on the destination server. Put some rules into effect, like only allowing a character to move if the destination server had a certain percentage of members at lvl 80+.
This would prevent high lvls to dominate over a server just because they moved.
What would be nice too is inter server mail. maybe charge 5000 instead of 500 coin. But then the company would loose profit on cash shop items... so unfortunately that wouldn't work.

Edit: I just thought of another problem... this would also have to allow players to change their name, since the name could already be taken on the destination server. Unless you add a tag to each player to show what server he's from. but I'm afraid that would require some major re-programing.

The only reason I switched to PWi is because it has much better and updated text and more fluent English, a bit better UI and a few other things. if they added that to the MY version, then I'd be glad to continue where I left off, especially if they added a "turn off PvP" option on it. Even from higher levels. Unless there already was one. (Its been a year since I played)
