World Transfers

[spelunker]

I will state this again. There WILL be free transfer opportunities for players on the remaining worlds post consolidations once players have a chance to evaluate communities. My stance on that has never changed. However due to technical limitations we can not do that via one token for every character, nor can we do one account wide token.

"Weekends" was a bad term to use. Lets say Free transfer "events" which will be determined when we set them up post consolidations they could be a week or a month, depending on what is appropriate and will be communicated via emails, forums and game announcements. If you don't want to wait for one of these windows to open to leave a world you are unhappy with, we will be providing the 3 tokens to move your primary characters to a place you would rather be in the meantime.

Our first priority however is getting the worlds onto the new hardware and consolidated down to the remaining 10. It is a great disruption for the entire community and we are all looking forward to being on the other side. Once there we will be better able to survey the state of the worlds and then decide the next reasonable time and set of worlds to open for free transfers.

Thank you, though there is still ambiguity in whether all, or just some of the 5 remaining servers will fully be a part of these free transfer events. Currently BW and Evernight are the major servers, if player population ratios stay similar, will these two servers stay as exit only during free xfer events, or are there plans to allow people to move onto these servers for free at least once after closing server migrations are done?

Thanks, Vyvyanne.

Please, please seriously consider creating a read-only stickied thread where you can post the latest info on the transfer effort and answer questions you have seen come up on the forums. We need a place were people can read YOUR words, unfiltered by those who want to be seen as helpful but who can't help but add in their own interpretations to your words.

After all the info you posted here yesterday, things have changed a lot since your first letters about the transfers. A central thread with blue-name only info, read-only, kept up to date, would help everyone immensely.
