EU/NA server transfers

I'm sure the first reactions will be..

"Why would you want to?"

"Those servers suck!"

..but i'm gonna ask anyway! (so here goes)

/e clears throat "Does anyone know how I would go about transferring my toons on Defiant(EU) to Virtue(NA)?"

OK, there, I said it!

/e hides

Can't be done.

Sorry.

Lots of us on both sides of the pond would really, really like to see it happen, though.

they used to have a transfer from NA to EU servers and even gave a badge for it, passport i think, but that was discontinued a long while ago.

Back in i3 or something like that I got a transfer from EU to NA, but the only way they could solve it was to ban my EU account and set up a NA account for me. Nothing transfered over, just the play rights.

It sucks to lose your vet badges, earned inf etc, but I would get a new account and post on the boards about EU inf for NA inf, then just cancel the EU sub for a bit.

The only way is to open a new US account and start again from scratch. I would have preferred otherwise and yes the grass on Virtue is not as green as you might believe.

At times that I play there are hardly more people then on the EU servers. In the evening there are a bit more players then we have here though.

Yeah I figured as much. Meh. Gonna stay on Defiant.
Unless anyone can convince me Union is worth transferring to?

Why don't you try it out for yourself? At the moment there is still the free transfer in place.

Because I am on trial account and I won't be getting fully subbed until after the transfers run out!

Nothing stopping you making a new alt on Union to have a look. Just think of it as a head start to the raging altitis you'll develop with the full sub

Point being I don't want to have to start my characters again, I like how I've developed them and can't face starting again, plus, I do not suffer from Altitis! (continuously doing the starting missions is already doing my head in)

I play my characters to death! Plus, Union is just another EU server, I wanted to change 'cos there seems to be more RPers on NA servers!

Plenty going on on Defiant to be honest. It might not be the most "active" in terms of numbers but there's a good community there, a very active channel in Defiant Events and there's usually a couple of server wide events per week and some TFs daily.

When i tried the US servers last year, losing your vet rewards was really an eye opener. It startled me at how much i actually use them in the early levels!

Oh yes, that was and is bad. I hated having to give up my vet awards.

Problem I got now is that everybody is back doing MA farms again. Sigh. Granted, radio missions are not that hot either but farming? At Freedom I find it hard nowadays to find a normal team.

Union is also the EU's unofficial RP server so if that's what you're looking for, you'll find more on Union. Still not as many as on Virtue but probably more than on Defiant.

What did you expect, really? It's FreeDumb.

Even I know most NA think that a substantial number of the people playing there are only marginally more intelligent than your run of the mill amoeba.

I've considered transferring to the NA servers too, but I don't consider my current situation dire enough to abandon my vast IO/salvage storage in my SG, and vet respecs. I don't really have a problem getting a team for the common TFs anyway, though normal teaming villain-side is oftentimes capricious, with days where no one wants to team, and days where I get several invites when I'm too busy to actually accept.

As Dante has mentioned, Union is apparently the place to be if you're looking for RP, I certainly see them hanging around the bars in Pocket D when I transit through there, and they were all relaxing at the ski lodge at the time too. There's a gothic themed RP group whose members I frequently see running around too.

I have both Defiant Events and Sals on my channels, and I will say that Sals is noticeably more active when it comes to TF/SFs being run, so if you're looking for public TF teams, I will say Union is the better choice too.

GG, I normally don't rise to your lamentable attempts to pitch server against server but just for once, ONCE, would it be possible for us to have a sane conversation about which server is more appropriate for this gentleman without your ill-informed and inflamatory contributions?

For someone who is generally helpful to the community I find your continual attempts to lambast any other server other than yours very disappointing.




And no, I don't give a flying whatever who's on which server. I just get tired of these kind of unhelpful comments.

Or, to paraphrase Dante's post: Obvious troll is obvious.


The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
