Prestige is about as meaningless as debt. I don't think a prestige bump is necessary at all--and if they did one, the results would be negligible. It would be nice if bases got some attention, IE more things to spend it on.
I wish Prestige was as easy to gather as debt.

Sorry, you must be out of touch of people starting up new super groups to say prestige is meaningless.

The extra revenue from extra character slots might be a reason for extenstion. I never would of paid for a transfer (well doubt it) but I did pay for extra character slots to fit more on my main server...

Plus I think the tech for server transfer will be similar for changing sides after rouge /speculation

But thanks for them anyhow


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Bit confused here

I logged in after resubbing and did 6 transfers I think the next day after the account was renewed. That was about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

But now I several weeks later I do not get the offer to move over any more characters.

I read it as 6 character moves each 7 days. I thought it might be I can only move the existing characters I previously moved, but that of course is not the case.

Is it just a one time deal of moving 6 characters and your done ?

What am I misunderstanding ?

You should have another 6 transfers then. It appears like you have to pay right up to where you click "use token" in terms of dialogs etc.

File a support petition if it's not letting you.

NCSoft should extend this offer until after x2 xp / reactivation weekend. Hate to see returning players come back to even lower populated servers now that many people have migrated to Freedom and Virtue.

Dbl exp - call in sick - wake up early - reserve your spot on a good server asap.

It's balanced out by people migrating in the other direction

Well, if people are using this like myself, they're moving off old, not-often-used characters to free up slots in their home servers.

So, people are just "dumping" toons they don't want to delete but will probably never log into the destination server ever again.

This will not help balance out the populations at all. In fact, it could easily make things worse. We won't really know for a while.

So this may have been asked before but....

Was there a significant loss of revenue from people that were purchasing transfers previously?
(I'm not asking about the revenue that would have been generated if everyone had to pay for all there server transfers that they have used because obviously many wouldn't have been made if people had to pay for them)

Is there a significant strain on the servers due to people using free server changes?

As I usually have all my slots full, generally this is a feature that I would not use. However, I can see how this would be beneficial to PvP (espeically when the Test Server is down or running Betas) or special server-based events.
If it does not cause a significant loss in revenue and/or drag down the servers, I would think that keeping servers transfers free would be of great benefit to the community.

I think they should perma keep this system on free transfers. It benefit so much to move back and forth to different servers. Especially on the pvp aspect I was able to move toons to freedom to have toon for the league. Champion hosted a pvp event this last weekend and we had few freedom peeps come over what made the event more interesting. Honestly this method on giving out the free transfer would help on the complaining about merging servers. You dev's should really consider on keeping this free transfer. Its was a very smart thing to do.

I hope they keep it as well. I have friends who have many toons on Infinity and they were able to bring some over to liberty to help with a task force I have wanted to do for a long time. It would also let me develop toons on alt servers and then if they make the grade in the minors (so to speak) they can make the jump to the bigs!

Sorry if it's been asked already,

Do your missions you have saved also go with you?

Took forever to get my BM mish and I was just wondering.

Thanks in advance.

I think the free transfers are great and should be kept in action. It works really well and (for now) solves the fact that we only have 36 slots on each server
