Server transfers aren't a new idea, and are allowed (free of charge) in some of the most popular mmos. For the Nay Sayers, these games and their players have not suffered negatively. But, you know this, and if not you can easily verify this for yourselves. (Rift comes to mind). Frogster/RoM should revisit closing down/merging its less populated servers, or allow it's players to transfer servers. This would give the illusion that the game still has a viable, active player base.

It was said there was a chance of Data Corruption and that could resort in total loss of the account. But they migrated the servers from Cali to Florida If I recall correctly and no one lost an account that I heard of.

I have no Idea why they are so stubborn about moving toons from server to server other than they want you to Spend more and just create a new toon on a New Server.

Had to look for a good facepalm image for this comment, I do not mind this space ghost one.

Those are two very very very very very different things. They may both involve the game's SQL database but that's about the extent of their commonalities.

To do what you ask requires a more technical amount of knowledge, moving from server to server does not require the knowledge of how the game's code actually works, moving a character from one server to another does. It's moving data from one database to another and ensuring that there is no overlap. Generally speaking when you're building the game you'd want to add this sort of functionality in, and it'd take time for someone who doesn't know the functionality to understand it and actually build a tool capable of doing this.

I think a lot of people would be all for server merges...if it weren't for the fact that RW tends to be incompetent at coding, and Gamefrog even worse at comprehending said coding. Judging by what we've been told in the past, I'll take empty servers over entire accounts becoming corrupted and unsalvageable, thanks.

I'm pretty sure they hae server transfers in the EU now.

Do we? Not that I've noticed & if Tijgerhaai's signature is anything to go by then we most certainly do not.

If they could figure out a way to do sever transfers safely and non-buggy i guess then im all for it.
