Is this a bug? or are the devs giving us a christmas gift?
and anyone else get it?

I don't see anything glaringly obvious telling me I have transfer tokens. Where would I look to check?

Still, congratulations! Sounds cool.

Might be a vet thing. How many months do you have?

I'm at 36 and I don't see an indicator on the character select screen about transfers.

Oh God, this just means that the devs are planning to merge the servers, and this is a nice way of preparing us for it.

Dooooommmmm!

Justice is the 3rd most populated server. They wouldn't be closing down that one.

It could be an overly generous x-mas gift, or else a doozy of an error.

Where did you see this notification?


Be well, people of CoH.

I hit 42 months yesterday.
I don't see anything regarding server transfers either. (other then the standard button to buy one)

Well, like I said, with NCSoft offering free server change tokens, this can only mean that a server merge is in the pipeline.

Doooommmmm!

I never said, "Pics or it didn't happen," I asked for information.

Free character renames aren't mentioned, but you can still get them...

Just make another character with the same name on a different server, transfer the character you want to rename over, and give him/her the new name.

Main Villain: Evil Gulzow-Man (Victory) 50, 1193 Badges

Maybe as a special Christmas present this year the devs are finally combining the EU and US server lists into one and the free server change tokens are there to allow the inevitable mass server migrations to occur without it being seen as a money making exercise for NCSoft?

Union 50's: Chimera Obscura, Diet Anthracite, Grim Proctologist, Puny Little Minion, Raging Bitumen

Sounds more like a plot to kill Freedom to me.

Everyone will transfer their characters to Freedom, which will then overload and fry itself under the strain of all that data.

On that note, if they merge Pinnacle with anything else, I am unceremoniously gone.

Just to try and pre-emptively cut back the DOOOOOOOOOM levels: if this were a sign that servers were being merged, don't you think that the devs would first make that announcement so players wouldn't waste their free transfers moving to those servers that were on the chopping block?

Not really. They may be using this as a way to gauge which servers to shut down. E.g., if 70% of the population on Triumph transfers their characters to Justice, well, then they know they can safely shut Triumph down.

I'd like to request that everyone who says "I'm moving to freedom" sign something that forbids them from going "ZOMG I can't log in" and "OMG queues, NCSoft owes me!" during events/double XP/etc permanently afterward.

(Me, I'm considering who I can move *off* of there, and where to.)

Or (crazy talk, I know), it's something nice for the holidays.

You're one of those people who thinks that it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you, huh?

That would be a great way to kill their subscription levels. "Hey, GR is coming out, let's get people to move servers, then kill the servers without mentioning it's coming beforehand! We don't need income, we've been around too long as it is!"

Need a redname in here to attempt to squelch the "They're going to close/merge servers" stuff.
