Free server transfers

Hey, guys....

Some of us may have wondered what it would be like to play with everyone else in this section as an all-competent-all-Kheld team....

Well, with free server transfers, it's now possible! 6 free transfers a week until the end of January...

So, what you waiting for?!?!? Let's see if we can set a server to all gather on and a day/time to play, and we'll all take on some of the toughest challenges in the game together!

Once we're done, we can transfer our Khelds back to where they were before and go back about our business....

What'ya say? You in?

It's an interesting possibility but I have several issues with moving servers even temporarily.

1. I hate high population servers with a passion, and I realize moving the smallest number of people to where the most people are makes the most sense. I just hate the higher jackhole per capita problems of high population servers.

2. All my wealth (several billion influence all held by my WS's) as well as my all Kheldian SG are all on my home server.

3. There are several different play styles being used and I believe meshing would become a very big issue quickly.

4. I just have a bad feeling about this one. Perhaps it's my inate misstrust of the transfer tool and their ability to move people back. I fear transporter accidents..." Let them play pinball with somebody elses molecules."

Not bashing the idea, I just cannot personaly get past these issues.

Good luck.

Transfer? Bah. You've got a good ... probably 60% chance of me already having a Kheld on any specific server. Some lowbies, some higher, but there's likely one there.

See my Guides and Tutorials

And you posting non-issues in order to discourage others from having a good time or bringing together the Kheldian community in any way is what brings out mine.

Since you've already posted your opinion, any involvement in this thread by yourself could easily be seen as a provocation on your part, or at the very least an attempt at discouraging the rest of the community in taking part in an opportunity to play together for the first time without having to pay for it or install a test version of the game.

Thanks for your input.

*EDIT*
I also find it extremely interesting that you would even post a comment about having "playstyles" affecting whether or not we have the ability to "mesh," when you yourself have derided someone in another thread for basically making the same claim.

He says that Kheldians (in his case) inability to control the KB affects his playstyle, and therefore refuses to team with them.

You say that others' playstyles will affect the team's ability to function as a team, and therefore refuse to participate in this opportunity.

I won't call anyone any names, so I'll just say that's "interesting."

Very well. from now on I'll restrict my comments to threads such as this to "I have no interest in this event but good luck with it anyways."

Unless thats also too close to trying to drive people away as well.

Actually, that's nice and polite, and a perfectly acceptable response.

Posting non-issues like "all my influence is on that character" is incorrectly giving the impression to other players that transferring a character causes it to lose everything it has on it.

Factually incorrect.

Therefore, yes, I definitely would have appreciated your latest response a lot more than the first one.

*EDIT*
Here's a link to the FAQ regarding server transfers... Please pay close attention particularly to the answer to the "Do all your possessions move with you when you do a character transfer?" question.

Also, to clarify, "losing all Prestige accumulated within your Supergroup" means that the record of the prestige you earned with that character will be erased, NOT that the SG will lose the amount of prestige you earned when you leave.

People quit SGs all the time, and the SG doesn't lose the prestige that person might have earned, just because that person left. That's nonsense.

My statement was poorly worded on the money issue, I can see how it could be read that way. My statement was that my Khelds hold all my money and are the bankers for all my toons. They also run my SG's.

It would simply be inconvienient for me to move any of them and I do not think I would enjoy the experience because I have seen great players who have never played together before get together and playstyle conflicts caused them to work inefficiently as a team reguardless of AT or even personal experience.

That is all that was meant by my statements. I thought it better to give my reasons for declining attending rather than just a simple "Not interested" as I thought that would be rude.

I'm up for any server but Virtue or Infinity...

...Someone on those two servers has taken my name, so I don't want to run the risk of having my character name changed, just because someone somewhere else likes to roleplay me....

Any suggestions? Other than the aforementioned conflict, I'm up for any day of the week, any time, any server...

Memphis Bill, which servers do you have a high-level Kheld on? I'd like to (if possible) have our teams take on some difficult high-level content (like the iTF or the STF or a SS TF, etc.)...

*EDIT*
On that note, it's probably a good idea for ANYONE wishing to participate in this event to go to the other servers and reserve the character's name you would be moving--or at least check if it's taken, so you can report back here which servers you can't or won't participate on in this event.

Also, when a server/day/time is picked, and you DO choose to participate and move a character, it's a good idea to reserve your own name on your HOME server as a placeholder as soon as the transfer is done, so you don't lose your name.

I vote champion?

K, we got a vote for Champion... If it's Champion, does anyone have any conflicts? If we all do this, I vote we transfer sooner than later, so we not only have plenty of time to get together a few times for challenges, we also have plenty of time to transfer our characters back before the special ends...

What's the word from the interested parties?

I don't know if the group members are already determined, or if applications can be made "in-thread." If there's room for one more and there would be regular play sessions over the holidays, then I'd be interested in signing up.

I'm fine with whatever consensus emerges about a server, in case the answer to whether or not I can join is "yes."

Here's a chance to copy Khelds over to Infinity to play with us on Monday nights!

Too bad someone already has my name taken on Infinity! :P

Ok, so far we have:

Champion:
1. Alien
2. Memphis Bill
3. DebtLover
4. ShoeTattoo
5. Justaris
6. Nericus
7.
8.
9.
10.

Infinity:
1. DarkEther?
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Any others? Pick a server, and as long as we have enough interest on that particular server, I'll jump in. (We have 6 free transfers a week, you know!). I may play one night with a bunch of people on one server, and then switch to another server for another night with a bunch of other people... I just want to know what it's like to hang out with you guys and team up!

The only thing I'd be worried about is losing my name on my home server, but I can always create stand-ins to safeguard my names while I'm away.

I actually already have Khelds on both Champion and Infinity, though, so I'm covered, assuming we end up doing this at a time I can make. Cor Autumni on Champion, Iscariot on Infinity (both Warshades). I've also got Khelds on Triumph, Justice and Pinnacle and I'd be willing to server hop for this if it was at a time I could make. I'll just have to come up with an alias for Iscariot if he leaves Infinity as I doubt the name's free anywhere else at this point (and rename him back when he returns to Infinity, naturally).

Unfortunately my play schedule is erratic to say the least, a consequence of my erratic work schedule, so the trick will be managing to play at a time when you guys are playing. Here's hoping, though, it sounds like fun.

Ok, the post has been modified to add your names...

I think now that the "general consensus" (for the most part) is Champion as a starting point, we can start discussing days/times...

This really is the ideal time, as *most* people have some "off time" from work for the holidays... What about the weekend after Christmas? After you've already gone through the "hoop-la" of Christmas with your families? Would you still have a day or two off work after that to work in a "Kheldian Day?"

I'd also be available for a "Kheldian Day" (or two) on Dec. 26/27, and Champion works for me.

I'll be bringing along my human-only shade, who has mostly single-target damage, along with pets, controls, and leadership powers. He's currently level 36, but he'll probably be higher level once Dec 26/27 rolls around.

I'm looking forward to this. It sounds like fun. My thanks to AO and any others who have been playing a role in organizing this.

List so far is as follows:

Champion:
1. Alien
2. Memphis Bill
3. DebtLover
4. ShoeTattoo
5. Justaris
6. Nericus
7. Dechs Kaison
8.
9.
10.

Who else? 8D

Put me down for the 26/27th on Champion.

I'll bring my TriFormShade in all his perma-eclipsed glory and be completely outshined by people who actually know what they're doing...

LoL, ok, List edited....

Unless otherwise specified, we'll be going for Dec. 26th and 27th (I'm available any time of either of those two days) on Champion.

Let's go for some "normal" radio missions in PI first to get the hang of playing with eachother, then we can move on to higher diff settings, the iTF, etc., etc.
