Why in god's name would people think they REMOVED functionality from this feature for this event? This is ridiculous. The warning refers to SG stuff.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Because "People are stupid, don't care to think about it, and assume the worst/don't check it out for themselves."

Between the "free gifts = CoX shutting down, GR means nothing" and this, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I wish there was a way to link to a web page from the MoTD, then we could link to the FAQ

Hopefully marketing reads this and corrects this on whatever page they advertise the feature on. Maybe people would transfer more often but they think they'll lose everything.

As you just said, if someone has never used it before, they don't understand how it works. Despite it having been available for a long time, this is not something that most of the population has utilized. Accordingly, most people probably don't know any of the details - and the GMOTD phrasing was... sub-optimal.

*Not all possessions will transfer over with your character.
*Supergroup affiliation, Prestige and access to your Supergroup base items will be lost since youll be leaving your Supergroup.
*You may lose your characters name when transferring from a server.
The problem would be that the first file is alone by itself. Maybe it would have been better to make it part of the second line:
*Not all possessions will transfer over with your character: Supergroup affiliation, Prestige and access to your Supergroup base items will be lost since youll be leaving your Supergroup. No personal items are lost.
*You may lose your characters name when transferring from a server.

You lose your local friends list. That's the "personal items" that you lose.

I hear that if you use the server transfer to move from Victory to Freedom a dev will come to your house and forcibly take the E, I, and P key off your keyboard.
Then they kick you and take your lunch money. True story..

It's the least they could do. So, no more Old MacDonald, no more Internet Protocols, no more 'I before E' conundrum, no more Magnum PI, and "Aliens" becomes "Aluons".|

And no only no more Pie, but Cake becomes Caka. Uhoh.
You have been warned. "Please note that we have added a consequence for moving to Freedom."

The command /buycoh closes the client and opens the PlayNC account page.
Tell pohsyb you want a command that keeps the client open and also opens a specific web page.
Or... copypasta the FAQ info into one of the /help menus.
Or... put the info in the opening contact of a MA arc and make the contact an in-game instructor, and have the GMOTD tell us the arc number to check out.
Or... put a tinyurl in the GMOTD that points to the FAQ that's easy enough for us to copypasta or retype into a browser.

This honestly could have been avoided with a little proof reading, and remembering to never, ever use vague or ambiguous statements when talking to a couple hundred thousand people.

Can we have a clarification in the GMOTD that transferred characters DON'T lose their enhancements, influence, badges, inventory items, etc? Ever since I transferred to Justice, I'm seeing lots of this kind of chat:
[Team] Name Removed: but you loose all your stuff
[Team] Doctor Leo: what? you don't lose anything
[Team] Name Removed: yeah you drop your sg and everything
[Team] Name Removed: and all items
[Team] Another Name Removed: yep
[Team] Name Removed: just inf come
[Team] Name Removed: and your slotting
[Team] Doctor Leo: no items are lost.
[Team] Name Removed: i just read it
[Team] Doctor Leo: my inventory still has all the recipes I had in freedom this morning
[Team] Doctor Leo: and all my slots are the same as they were on freedom this mornign
[Team] Name Removed: for the free xfer?
[Team] Doctor Leo: the only thing you lose is SG
[Team] Doctor Leo: yep
[Team] Name Removed: oh well, the notice says you wont keep everything
[Team] Doctor Leo: I even have the stuff I left in Wentworths, still listed in Wentworths
[Team] Name Removed: you have all your badges too?
[Team] Doctor Leo: yep, all 678 of 'em
[Team] Name Removed: lol, matket is about to do some strange things then
[Team] Another name Removed: i think you just lose your sg stuff
[Team] Doctor Leo: you lose your supergroup (because it's left on the other server), your servers friends list (because it's friends on that server) and maybe your name (if it exists in the destination server; you get a rename token)
[Team] Doctor Leo: the SG stuff stays intact... in the SG
[Team] Name Removed: what about prestige earned?
[Team] Doctor Leo: stays in the SG. your personal counte rresets, but the SG keeps the prestige you earned
Some clarification for people who read the GMOTD and immediately assume the worst would be nice.
