New Server Transfers

[NYJetPhan]

I must say that after a while here on Imladris I'm really LOVING the small town feel and community. What I would really love would be for Turbine to allow some incoming transfers. In no way do I want to take over the server, take over the Moors or accomplish a server first raid wise, I just have a few toons whose ./played is measured in months rather than weeks or days that I would LOVE to have here on Imladris,

I 100% understand that they wish to preserve server integrity, and for the most part agree with it too. I also understand that Imladris is the smallest server in the game and could benefit from an influx of toons, besides with the ability to pretty much buy perfect weapons in the store now game integrity is a moot point.

With the time invested in my characters I have no issues with the transfer price, its 100% worth it, even a longer wait is worth it, Im just hoping to someday play these toons in my new home. Imposing some kind of server residency requirement is one way of stopping random transfers even, for instance, I have been playing on Imladris long enough to casually level an RK almost to 65, so this is no drunken kin idea where we all decide to transfer to a server on the spur of the moment.

I have no real desire to return to my native server, my ignore list is a mile long, GLFF reads like broken chat since I have most of the mouth pieces ignored which is sometimes worse than having no ignore list.

With Hele and Annuminas armour so easily acquired, none of my older toons will be at any sort of gear advantage, with the new LI system none of my older toons will have a weapon advantage, but with rare titles such as Fool and Fathomer of Riddles and not to mention years worth of casually acquired rep I would rather have these toons with me than to roll copies.

With the new WB Turbine all about making a buck (ie the new store items) a sure fire way to make some easy cash is transfers, Im sure the powers that be can come up with a system for transfers to the new servers and still keep them somewhat fresh smelling.

Something to think about.

What I am reading you want special treatment because of your situation. I see it as extremely unfair.

IMHO - Transfers should either be:

1) Open to everyone
2) Open to no one.

Uhhh so wrong, I want transfers open to all the new servers, then explained WHY I want my toons transfered rather than just roll new toons, then suggested some restrictions to prevent wide spread transfers if they are concerned about server integrity.

We will have to agree to disagree.

All I am seeing is - let me transfer my existing characters. I am special. I should get unfair benefits because of my situation.

To me you have no more right to transfer your characters to Imladris than I have to transfer to Landroval.

Once Turbine opens the door, there is always going to be someone on the wrong side of the line. They have a valid complaint. You move the line. Eventually you change the line to everybody can move.

It goes back to the old ethics discussions that I had to attend as a engineer at university. How many people can you hurt before it is unethical?

You run into this. How many in so many aspects of life. Ford years ago decided it not to fix the fuel tanks on one of their cars. It was cheaper for them to pay the survivors when the car blew up burning the occupants to death.

As the discussion goes on for whatever the question is. You start with do you do something if it is a thousand? Yes. Do you do something if it is a hundred? Eventually you get to the answer that number does not matter in either direction.

Fair and ethical is doing it for the "ALL". You do not do it for all but one. You do not do it for one but not all.

There are no plans to change our transfer policies.
