    There are a few reasons why this can't or shouldn't be done.

    It can't be done because names can't be the same on the same server, so if one person wanted to transfer and another player already had his name, he's out of luck. Thus, it would be unfair to him if another player can transfer. Also, names can't be changed without risking the stability of the names database.

    It shouldn't be done because the servers all have different economies. Being separate for the life of each server has allowed them to develop economies based on the needs and wants of the players playing that specific server. To allow a player to make a huge amount of coin on a good economy server and then transfer it to another server would be unfair to the players who have been playing that server all along. This especially comes into effect with a transfer from PvE to PvP. A player could go no-risk all the way to R9+12 and full shards, then transfer to a PvP server and be an automatic contender for less than it would cost a player to get there playing only the PvP server.

    Overall, server transfers (in my opinion) would be one of the worst things they could do with this game. Think if players had been able to transfer to the European servers...there would have been an instant monopoly on certain things, and those players who were the target audience just starting out would be at a huge disadvantage.

    This isn't to play devil's advocate, but before playing this game, I played WoW, and they charged $30 to transfer servers. Now if they can, and I know for a fact THEY have the knowledge to do so, so might PWI. Then again Kritty, you're a moderator, not a programmer right? So in light of the highly anticipated reply I probably WON'T receive (as usual), I guess I should just clam up, break out my credit card, and spend more money. As in any business corporation, bottom line is to bring in the money. Don't think that by whinning about what is fair or not companies give a damn. When ~removed~ comes out they will be scratching their heads asking themselves where they went wrong.

    this is a bad idea.
    You farm on a serve, u buy a thing 400k (cost on this server)
    and u transfer it, and sold it 1mil because his price his higher
    and u transfer ur coin on the other, u buy 400k and sold 1mil
    and that's a bad idea.

    Please read my post:#32

    Neophite: Transfers would take a month and a half to do all the transfering you are talking about. Meanwhile, you would still make a million coins just from playing on the same server for that month and a half,so my terms of the transfers would be fair.

    KrittyCat: I understand it takes time to develop any solution or skill. I do not expect PW come out with transfers instantly.I also saw you put server transfers in the frequently suggested sticky.So avoid getting suggestions that are exactly the same as this one.Make this issue a sticky or forum,please.

    i really doubt this will get stickied. it just doesn't fit the bill if you ask me, if a suggestion that has 600 post on it won't be sticked, then i doubt this thread would even make the list of possibility

    And I'm going to close this thread now, with the note that, again, this is never going to happen.

    Other games that allow server-to-server transfers were built around the technology that allows them to do so. Perfect World was not structured around this technology, and therefore doesn't have the capability required to do it without a programmer personally transferring the information from one server to another. This can cause server stability issues, and thus will not be done.

    Closed.
