Please give us server transfers

Runes of Magic is now embarking in their 4th year and I am praying that the developers will finally provide us with server transfer. Yes we can start all over with a new character however all the time and energy put into the server on "x" just sits there going to waste so my time and money invested keeps me locked into server "x". Please open up the opprotunity to move accounts to other servers, I'm sure it would be a great money making option for RoM.

-1 to the server changers


What kind of people would ruin a whole server? Do we want these people transferring over at level 64 status to steal from us?

i think this is a good idea, ONLY if a few restrictions are put in place. Limit which servers can xfer to other servers. Like no non-pvp to pvp servers, Allow those on palen to transfer off but not back on. Dont allow any transfers TO that server. Allow PVP to PVP transfers. Other games have had great success with transfers however it has to be limited to prevent abuse of the system. If they put those limitations in place i think it will work and be a good money maker.

At that point you might as well just start over. Because to do this, you would have to say no money too (otherwise ill just transfer to arty, sell a few thousand diamonds at 2-3x what they're worth on reni, go back, by all the end game gear I want, and make myself an end gamer. And since they would have to not allow you to bring gear/gold with you and only dia shop items, you're basically a lvl 70 incapable of doing anything.

I am all for server transfer as long as you can request it for other people. There are a few unsavory character that I'd like to transfer elsewhere.

What?!

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

False, especially if you get into a guild, which won't be hard as a level 70. Get some cheap HoS gear through a naked Pug, or with a guild, and there you go. You're now well on your way to bigger and better things. Especially if you ARE a CC player.

And, as I said at the beginning of that post, you might as well just start over. If you have to leave your gear behind, well all the time put into gearing goes to waste, same with the money (whether in game gold or dia). That and now in this new group you need to regear (not having ANY money to start off with mind you), restat, and retier.

To make it so server transfers aren't game breaking, you would have to have a lot of rules, and it would pretty much end up the same as why most end gamers probably won't roll a dwarf for more than just to mess around with. It is far too expensive to gear up a new level 70. So unless your current gear is compatible with the new classes, you probably won't be rolling a dwarf. And since you would have no gear or money to get gear, you probably wouldn't want to change servers if you are against just starting a new char on a new server anyways.

? what did i do to deserve this transfer?



jk very funny
now on to topic if there was a server change there would have to be rules of course but i believe that keeping equiped gear may be an option.just the 2 sets of equiped gear,and a 1 time transfer.

What about duplicate names though? Also if people want to switch servers its pretty easy to sell all their gear for zeevex and just make a new toon on a different server.

but yea we already have enough server hoppers on art no more ty.

Frogster has said in the past that there will be no server transfers offered ever. Even in WoW where they do allow server transferes it can take up to a week for you to get everything right. Not to mention the name issue. This post is another one that will most likely fall on deaths door soon when it gets closed by a gm/cm.

Duplicate names could be handled by removing the character from one server and "pasting" it onto another. You obviously shouldn't be allowed to log onto the same character on multiple servers. That'd be very confusing.

He means like, If I'm "Bob" on Osha, and they put me on Artemis, theres probably already a guy named "Bob" there too, so now there are 2 "Bob"s.

What Frogster could do is once a character is moved to another server upon request, the next time the player tries to log in with their character, force them into renaming their character.

Hmm, i disagree with having server transfers. why? because if someone from say Artemis decides they want to transfer over to grimdal (dont ask me why they would want to do that) and they were fully endgame stated for Artemis... well i believe that Artemis guilds have been clearing Tosh HM... Grimdal has yet to down Annelia, so they would come over and pretty much rule the server, not a good thing for all of us ppl on grimdal who have been working hard trying to slowly catch up :/

I think a good idea would be to merge the 2 PVP servers (Grimdal & Indigo) purely because Grimdal population is pretty low, and from what i've heard Indigo isnt much better :/ so what's the point in having 2 pvp servers where most ppl chose a pve server?

thats just my view on things :)
