So does this mean they are going to be reducing the restrictions on what can't be brought over on a character that's switching sides?

I'm guessing that's one of the reasons they merged, so now you can take over inf and salvage when you side swap, otherwise you'd still end up with all the inf on one side of the game (Heroes).

I think it's time the devs retired the old phrase .. "It's never going to happen."

A: No. Influence/Infamy/Information, Salvage, Enhancements, and Recipes will not be escrowed. Your character will retain all their possessions and inf when they transfer sides. |

I suspect the biggest motivator was the idea people would be gaming the system to profit.

Seriously? AWESOME. What next, they'll finally merge the server lists between EU and NA?
You heard it here first folks, EU and NA server list merge coming next!
Which brings the question.... is there ANYTHING that we've been begging for forever that we're not finally getting after all these years? Dare I say...

I imagine that manging the database in beta (or after seeing how they would have to modify the database to make this work with 3 currencies) made them cross the line. The fact we've been asking for it just made it an easier call at the end of the day.
--- edit ---
In case you don't want to look for it the 3 currencies are Infamy, Influence and Information. One could assume Information is the currency for Praetorian citizens.

Ever noticed that the most farmed arcs just happen to be praetorian related?

Which will probably make them much less farmable.

Thanks. I'm glad to see that they didn't forget that. Maybe this big news is what they were working on when they forgot to announce the email time limit.

Whenever I see them 'simplify' stuff like this it makes me glad, I don't want to see the engine just overloaded with everything going on. The whole 'Hero takes all his influence and puts it in a safe while red side to be redeemed once he is back in paragon city' thing, and vice versa, almost seems a little, bloated, i don't know, can't think of the word.
This change will make it simplier for us and simplier for the software as well

And despite the 'those nutty RPers claiming it doesn't make sense' comments...here..I shall put the RP spin on things!
A big shot hero (someone who has a lot of influence) is going to be more infamous when they turn to the dark side of villainy because they're just that well know, the bigger name the hero has, the more shocking the turncoat actions are to the people of Paragon.
Thus they retain the same overall 'level' but instead of praise and adulation, the fear and terror inspired by the fact one of Paragons finest has decided to ditch their heroic ideals and be out for themselves makes them just as infamous.
Nobody is going to really care if some no-name hero (low influence) gives up on their life of heroics to turn to crime, they haven't even made a name for themselves yet.
See...it makes RP sense too!
If you can spend influence like it's cash the whole RP argument makes no sense anyway.

Don't go blaming everything on the RPers. The devs started that whole story and never updated it when they added new features that turned it into a currency.

Well, there are a number of things it still applies to.
- Buying Veteran Rewards
- Full respecs
- More than 10 enhancements kept on respec.
The first 2 falling into the category of "never gonna happen" I agree with. Neither of those things SHOULD be possible.
The full respec Positron has actually commented on, saying that it would undermine all the work they've done over the years to make the game alt-friendly. So allowing that would be making 6 years worth of work largely irrelevant, and I can understand them not wanting to do that. Also, there is the fact that it would be abusable.
Vet Rewards shouldn't be purchasable because you haven't met the criteria to get them, and it isn't about the money. I will never change MY stance on that, and I don't think the devs ever will either.
The 10 enhancement thing I don't actually care about, but it has been their stance for years that 10 enhancements is generous, since they are meant to be permanent. I don't see that stance ever changing.
There are probably other things that fall into the never happening category, but those 3 spring to mind immediately.
The market merge was probably a direct result of Going Rogue, and an attempt at revitalizing villain side. I don't personally recall a dev stating that it was never happening, just that there was a coding issue preventing it (that I can only assume they have since solved)
