Hello ! Im asking if we can move atleast one time our caracters to another server. Many ppl have to wake up in middle of night to go at those events and since they are now almost all in that game.So please if is posible let's ask Gm's and i know many ppl will move they characters on right server with right time zone.

It would be a good idea for people to be able to move their characters on another server since all not all players can benefit from events because of a simple factor: different timezones. After investing so much time, effort and money into their toons it's hard to part with them and start all over on different server.0

They wont do it because it would overwrite the names. Maybe someday with the servers of the same database, but not with random transfers. Also, the US servers would be extremely empty... I dont know what server would fit your timezone, but since morai already has a lot of players and many players of the US servers are Europlayers who just dont wanna start over again, if theyd get the possibility to play on Morai without loosing their stuff they would surely leave their old server xD And PWE dont want their US server to be empty xD
IMO it would be fair if theyd release a system that makes it possible to at least get the same items you had on the other server and if you wanna get them on your acc on new server your old character would be delete so people cant trade them every day. That WOULD be possible, but of course PWI wants us to buy new stuff on new servers .... so it wont happen ever:(I like potatoes <(O~O)>0 -
Well they lost alot of ppl ...that will be a new chance to get some ppl back. Since better i start another game ...i cant just start again on another server. And as answer at you empty servers ...there can be a merge on US servers and from 2 PVE server can one be PVP ...we can get in midle way ...just need some suport0

Would love to move to an EU server and i`m certain all faction members would, simply because we cannot attend NW without sacrificing some sleep and who would want to do that for a damn game anyway.[SIGPIC]http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/image.php?type=sigpic&userid=14516063001&dateline=1364756666[/SIGPIC] Ty Silvy

Nah, I'm happy where I am even if I miss all the events (due to hectic work schedule, not because of time zone issues).
I could make the Sunday NW, but that would require me to get about two hours or less of sleep before I wake up for a 12 to 18 hour workday. I did that for a few NWs, but decided no event is worth sleep deprivation, even though I only sleep about four hours on workdays if I'm lucky anyway.WeBeKinky Leader - lvl 10x psychic

I voted yes for only 1 char. I myself have a veno with herc and nix on dreamweaver and id love to have it on Morai, so if it ever would be possible... It will be my veno. I wont make a veno on Morai now because it was a pain to get her to 100 and the pets on track with lvling too... So yea...
But... I think others are right, this wont ever happen... Have mailed pwi about this to ask for a server transfer stone for atleast the items. They said they0 -

If there are as many European's on the US server as you say. Then why not change some of the start times for NW? It's a must attend event if you aspire to be the best geared toon you can be.
Yet many, many people cant/wont attend due to the time its on. Now the attitude of some people on the forum's in the past has been tough, dont like it, leave. That's unfortunatley the kind of selfish, pig headed bs i've become acustomed to both in game and here.
TW's start early some days due to the schedule and your telling me that there is no scope for any flexibility at all in regards to NW start times. Even if one NW time slot was changed just a couple of hours would make a massive difference to the attendance's especially on Dreamweaver. Which has a large European presence.
I can tell you now, i'll be dammed if im gonna cash just to get NW material's i need for gear. Tell me how that is fair?
I know this is something Val was looking into. As it's been raised before. If possible it would be nice to have an update/thought's on this issue as soon as he is able to give one.
If this isnt possible, then we should be given the option to transfer toons/gear to a more sutiable server. They say it cant be done. I say it can if the will is there to do it.0 -

nothing is impossible. databse problems? if you decide to transfer they could ask you to choose new names, so if your name is available, take it, if its not, change. dont know how database is an issue here0

the best solution of all is to change servers time for like abit of time to make other ppl fell what kind of pain do an EU player suffer during TW seriosuly waking up for nw at 5am every week is making some ppl mad.... and its been like that for so long since 2008 (2013- for ppl that duno what year it isb:laugh) kidna sick of doing it but changing server is not a good idea since i got most of gear. Well we can blame some ppl that they didint think to lunch an EU server at start im sure we would not be arguing this now well **** happen and we cant do anything just quit or let it be how it is. OR SPAM mail PWI stuff with mails that we want a change but geitng this amout of ppl will be imposible0

that would be great, cuz we from EU cant attend to any event just if we wake up in night and , and thats not fair. GMs should help us atleast this time and let us to move 1 char to other server so we can go events.0 -
I don't think this should be allowed at all lol. People made there characters on the server of there choosing, they shouldn't have the right to have safely built a character on a pve server then just switch to a PvP server when they are full end game.Ahira is a spyb:cryb:cryb:cry0

Sure, but remember that your name is already registred on weapons, friend lists etc.
So if you transfer your account, things related to you on your old server might get bugged.
For example .... Player Alpha transfers his account from Lost City to Morai, so he chooses a new name. His wife still has the title "Alphas wife", but because he doesnt exist on LC anymore of course she cant pm him or divorce. While that, Player Alpha from HL wanna start over at LC. He transfers his account and he doesnt have to change his name because the original Alpha was transfered to Morai already. But when hes ingame, he noticed ppl in his friend list and the name "xxxx husband", although he never married. So he could get some bugs like having that marriage title without actually being married (so he cant do any MQs or marry another one) or he cant join a faction because PW thinks he already has a faction, but he actually dont have one.
Sounds extremely strange, but it already happened to me. On Morai, I had a veno what was in my mains friend list. I deleted the veno and after a few months, i made another one with a different name. What happened? I had somehow 20 friends i didnt even know and couldnt delete them also, with a lvl 1 char.
I agree that with a few organisations those bugs wouldnt happen, but PWE isnt known for their skills to fix them
oh and SacredRose, thats happening if you use special letters. In some cases the text is cut off as long as they are in your comment. I have the same problem I like potatoes <(O~O)>0 -
yea but when i start to play...there was just few servers...none EU ... and they open late and i know we cant just move when new server start but now on all EU servers we got ppl with good gears so no problem if any1 else move...0

Yes that would be great. I would love some of these people on PvE servers who are like "waaaah pk pk pk" to be able to move to a PK server so they can go away forever >.>.
However... it'll never happen because 1) something about the server/database structure will not currently support that option. That would require some major overhauling of their systems, and who knows if they care enough about this to make it worth the effort (for them).
2) Something about the naming system won't allow it, though that would probably be easy enough to fix by either some kind of modification or requiring the character to be renamed before you can launch it on the new server for the first time.
3) They want you to have to remake characters so they get more money

2) another character is easy to get (GM can give 100 lvls easy to any characer) . That will allow to get new name.
3)money ...alwasy more money to pwi staff ....0 -

i make softwares and web applications related to databases. tbh, it would be an easy fix if they bother make the functions needed. SQL (language for databases) allow to make things for that
and, if they dont want to bother with databases issues, they could make the siwtch only US->EU, EU->US, easy0 -
Im form europa and yes I made this char at the beginning. I had a great time leveling my chars but last year I found myself stranded on take part off the events.
I' m to be punished because PWI headoffice made the stupid idea to have events on a time which is in the middle off the night or early in the morning? Do i need to spent real money to buy my raps and cannies because PWI made nirva be a place out off order? And there are more events I keep missing because of the bad timing. Did I choose to play on this server knowing it PWI would change the game play that much? At that time we didn't even know they were making the choose to make a European server years later.
I doubt many european players choose to play on a USA server but most are simple stuck because who wants to started over form the start again?
I dont know the law in america but we all buy stuff with gold on these servers..............So can I have a refund if I restarted on the new european server? After all I didn't ask to have my game play be ruined by all the events PWI staff put in the game the last years. And beside
; about the names taken on the european server : I know mine is not its on the same account now i use to login on the USA server.........wonder how their database is working if i can log on ever server with the same ID and Password.0 -
Interserver stash stone that allows to store only ranked/bound gear in order to not ruin the economy of either server... make it like 100 gold per stone for 16 slots or perhaps for 1 transaction of gear transfer. Win-Win for both sides. Gotta come up with a new name on the server u transfering too so there r no duplicates, original toon gets renamed to some #12344566 or deleted completely. Coin cant be transferred either cuz of the economy differences... problem solved0

If the name wasn't taken on another server or if it was a same coast server it would work out.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
