server transfere ?

Linkmas - Sanctuary · July 2011

yo
since the new servers are on , and they are both pve , and since they suit most players worldwide , and since alot of players are veterans and most suited by the euro time , and since they are prolly too lazy to switch servers and start over , the idea of a server transfere service sounds very apealing .
I know this has been answered before ( lots of times ) but hey , i like to TW and do the events too , but not @ 3 am ... so does others .
So GMs , if you know that a server transfere service is under developpment , some info leaks wont hurt , and if they are not , ask em to

b:pleased

If we could do it, I believe we would. Server transfers are a common thing for many mmos, and one that even p2p games profit from.

They can't offer this service, so I wouldn't expect it any time soon, if at all.

Yes, they can offer this service, provided at least 1 employee at PWI understands SQL.

All of the log-in information is stored in a single shared SQL database between all servers, so that part is already working.

The server-specific character information is stored in separate SQL databases on each server, thus copying a character from one server to another would simply require copying a record from one database to another.

However, the real question is whether or not they want to offer this service.

I really don't understand why they can't. b:sweat They can even make a boutique item that allows character server transfer.Actually,it is a very simple thing to do.The characters should be factionless to complete the transfer and their Friend List/Blacklist will reset as well.This service is possible and would be really useful too.If you really care about your customers at least try to keep them satisfied b:thanks

This game is nothing special out of the world thing, how can you say that something as basic as server transfers cannot be done? Nobody is denying that it might take some work to do, but hell it's something that one would pay for and make tons of ppl happy. Many MMORPG including P2P have it and it is a substantial source of profit. On another thread a mod said that it would take a lot of work. b:angry what for once you can't actually DO something? It's not like you are doing it for free.

Out of all the things ppl complain, can't you just offer at least one service that would make TONS of people happy and also be a source of extra income? It is as if there was actually no (and i mean NO) interest at all in the players.

for once proly wouldn't be fair to ppl who just started on new server...but i expect see several rank9 on new servers in least then a months so don't think is the real issue

and second they want the ppl who move from us server to eu server...to buy all stuff all over again... a rank 9 character ...fully refined and shard ed goes up to 4000-5000$

also i am pretty sure if could make transfer for hmm...200-300$ most of europeans would move to eu servers and will be nobody left to play in us serverb:bye

Are u serious? Maybe you are talking about east coast, but west coast servers have less than 20% europeans. Most are from Central/South America, NA or Canada and some few EU. East Coast is closer to EU therefore YOUR servers would get empty if you actually think that most of the population is European. b:bye

i am not going into this...lets assume you are correct and indeed is litle to no european ppl on us servers... i guess we gonna see transfer account stone pretty soon right?b:laugh

also on side note at some point in ugly history on pw-my where i use 2 play the only 2 servers merged because was such a small population...mainly from abusing packs and raise gold to 2 mil ++to a point where was none on sale...ppl just left...but merge server or transfer account is possible and easy...is just pixels after allb:surrender

Even in Harshlands there's a couple of people from south america as well. But yea, merging servers would be better, only 1 PvP server for US, only 1 for EU (would be more interesting if it was only 1 pvp server internationally but that cant be done) Then Idk 1 or 2 PvE servers for both US and EU. That would be perfect, instead of opening up server after server, as if the other servers were actually full. Yes there are quite some people but not remotely full. And ofc, NOW they open 2 EU servers, which I agree with you, to make even more money from heavy CSers.

And b:laugh yea transfer account stone, 300 gold b:surrender

GMs have already stated it can't be done with PWE games. So you guys might as well deal with it.

Cheap excuse, everybody that knows one bit about game engine, coding and programming knows it. The truth is, it CAN be done, but for some reason (laziness or profit from having to remake a char) they won't likely do it.

It's funny. The truth is, the American side of the house doesn't seem to have access to the coding or engine. They're just allowed to host it and make sure it runs reasonably well. If you really want to affect change, instead of yelling at the **** child, you need to get the parent to change.

Lol you are totally correct. However, if you point me to a way I would do such things, I would, but I alone won't make a change, hell odds are none of us can, but a GM did explain how hard it would be to char transfer, THEREFORE they do know how to do it.

Can't is the wrong word, the correct term would be won't.

The upcoming worldwide tourney is proof that this service can be done. PWI simply won't because they would lose profits.
