Will we get free server transfers?

I'm not that far in (level 7 and some change) so starting over isn't too bad, but never-the-less, it's something I'm curious about. I rolled on a Japanese server as it was the only one I could get into, and now I'm wondering if SE is going to let us transfer over to NA/EU servers when (and if) the server issues get fixed.

    I'd also like to know.  I had to roll on a JP server too.  I've only been able to play 2 hours since early release, so I'm not terribly invested in my character.  Still good to know if server transfers will be an option!

    from what I read I thought that after this patch / maintenance there was going to be that option since they are supposedly bringing new servers online.  We'll see though

    Let's clarify real quick...

    None of you HAD to roll on a JP server.

    And to be fair... using the auto-translate, a JP server might actually be better in the long run.

    That being said, I'm pretty sure they're not going to (but I've been wrong before, I'll likely be wrong again) as SE tends to feel similarly (that no one FORCED you to roll JPN, you chose to because you wanted to play).

    That being said... why not just create a new toon?  I'm sure stuff you learned can be helpful.  It's not like you're level 50...

    Ended up on a EU server where most don't seem to speak english, so I would like to find another without starting again as i managed to get the dreaded low lvl conj through to 20.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we don't, I couldn't get on a server with some of my friends so it would be nice if they gave us free transfers for a month.

    im very happy on my JP server and will stay there. But the auto translate sucks unless they add verbs.  At least based on what i used and read about, Its just a bunch of set phrases, so you cant really talk freely to the jappies without verb translations.

     

    But at least in a dungeon you can say things like "WATCH YOUR AGGRO".... you dummy tank.

    i doubt it i think they will stick with the plan to bring out server xfers mid to end sept and charge for the service like they always have

    I wouldn't count on getting a free server transfer.  SE has already said that they'll be giving everyone free time back once the server issues have been addressed.  Any time that's been spend building a character on your current server is going to be refunded, so you can start over again.

     

    Offering free server transfers would be a massive undertaking, and wouldn't be worth the investment of time and money.

     

    Of course, I could be wrong.  We'll see soon enough.

    in beta we was able to transfer 1.0 characters to diffreant servers why would this be any diffreant

    Yeah I would highly doubt they would be free unless they decide to give everyone a free transfer to be used within a week of transfers being available, something along those lines.

    I think it would be an incredible sign of goodwill to offer a limited opportunity, one time only free transfer.

    But not until the server situation is fixed, and has been proven stable. Even if the downtime tonight completely and totally fixes everything (which it won't), the transfers would still be a couple of weeks out.

    I don't think they are obligated to offer that though.

    They will offer it.....and we will have a new error code
