I was just wondering.... will it be possible for european players to switch their accounts there? I mean, if a day european servers will be opened, i'd like to transfer there but sadly i wouldn't be happy to loose everything i farmed in RT for 2 years...


ADVERTISING : Don't start saying PWI = international because canada + USA are blah blah blah ok? i'm not trolling about events time or whatsoever.

All i'd like to say is : if they are gonna make a european server , it's because (i hope at least) they'd like to give an opportunity to european to join some events and make TW more achievable for us .

I wanna hear your opinions b:thanks What do u think about it? and about the transfering-account idea?
They could also control the IP of ppl who ask to transfer their account there, so they could be sure it will only regards european ppl already playing PWI ( everyone tho can be free to create ann account there ofc)

Thanks
(Don't be rude please, i'm just throwing here an idea/trying to see if someone else thinks as me) b:thanks

    Technically speaking, it would be possible to do, however, the GMs don't allow character transfer from one server to another. It would make an unfair advantage compared to other players and once they allow it a lot may demand to switch to a PvP after they've farmed their elite gear in a PvE server (just one example of many).

    So the official response from past replied of GMs: Character transfer from servers is not available and won't be available in PWI.

    It would be a nice option indeed. Although I doubt they'll do it.
    I personally wouldn't leave sanc unless some of my best friends would switch too. I'd love to be able to do events at normal times... but not if it means I'll have to start all over again after 3 years of playing on Sanc. b:surrender

    Then again Shelly, this server is for the European people who some off have been playing all that time on other servers. In this case it wouldn't really be like "oh that server is more populated or is pvp" this is about people being able to participate or not participate in stuff. So I hope they'll make a one-time exception of people being able to change to the European server.

    If you scrolled further down you would see
    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1122701

    a thread about switching servers....

    I get that your question is specific to EU new servers, but i think the same still applies.
    I would like it to happen, I live in the UK and to be able to play my own times with less lag would be great, but I already have a 101 cleric, a 100 Veno and 96 Archer e.t.c on Dreamwever so idk if i would switch and start over.

    So I would LOVE it if we could but i cant see it ever happening. :(

    If u don't trust me , ask Killvearn (one of the pro R9+10 barb in your faction ;) ) We started playing together, or ask Suitengu b:chuckle





    By the way ChaoticShelly, i know some ppl would use that just to transfer their PvE characters to PvP servers....that's why i was asking if it was possible to do that ONLY for European players and only to swith in the european servers ^^ Controlling the IP of players it could be possible . By the way ok , i got the answer lol
    Ty for all the replies guys b:thanks

    you could also control it by saying PVP to PVP servers and PVE to PVE servers only. there are both versions for each area and hopefully EU servers will also have the option of both, so that solves the issue.

    Hazumi_chan - Sanctuary - Personally I'm a European player myself, so I see the logic behind it. But personally I wouldn't switch servers because I like being able to converse with players around me and I would hate to be stuck in a squad of non English speakers. I already experience it enough with Spanish and Portuguese speakers who refuse to speak in English while in a squad with someone who doesn't speak their language.

    Also, all of my in game friends are on Heaven's Tear server and they wouldn't switch either.

    I doubt they'd make an exception. Whenever they opened a new server people had to make a decision, leave their old characters and make new ones on the desired server, play both, or not. So the official answer would be "No, it won't be allowed".

    I'm just quoiting a GM here, I don't have the power to effect such decision.

    Since OP got their reply and there is already a topic concerting this - closed.
