This is the perfect opportunity for you to hop between servers depending on your mood or interests and meet other heroes and villains to enjoy brand new game features with!
Will anyone be leaving Infinity's sea-to-sea shining shores?

I think I'm going to ship off some 50's to go die elsewhere and stop hogging my space. I don't have any spots available on Infinity, and I've already bought about 4 extra spots so I would rather not buy anymore.


Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

I'm thinking of putting a 50 I don't like on each server.


Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

Not moving a single toon off Infinity. Inf is one of the higher populated servers (obviously its not free/virt). I see a lot of people looking to go to something other than free/virt but that's still high, so infinity is a good bet for them.

Really I'd like to see more people promoted transfer TO infinity than talk about leaving, we had a really good community in the past, but it's slowly dying down.

Going Rogue should pull a lot of old players back in, so any other people we can get to transfer here would be bonus.

Good point. Someone should be our ambassador and go to every server with an Uncle Sam avatar and tell Freedomites, Virtuephiles and Justicians that "We want you! ... To help us farm some phat lewtz on the Infinity server!"

But in my instance, and the two other repliers, the presumption was that we would be sending characters that we don't play to another server so they could die in their beds, old and alone. Meanwhile we could make new characters to rock out on Infinity with and celebrate their youth.

Alternatively, is anyone transferring characters that were misbegotten and created on other servers long ago to Infinity?

I don't think I have any that fit that mold. I have plenty of characters on other servers, but I think, at the most, they're only in their high teens and not necessarily unique enough that I would need to send them here. But while it's free, I should certainly investigate.


Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

Also, it shocks me to hear you say Infinity is one of the more highly populated servers. I think it's time to combine a few.

well Infinity was always the third largest server, just over the past year it's quieted down some.

I've got to say that I'm more inclined to transfer TO Infinity rather than away from it.
And with GR, there will be more opportunities to help and/or team with some of the returning player base.

That being said, I do understand the reasoning behind moving dormant 50's to another server to make room for slots. I know I could never bring myself to delete a 50 to make room.

I've deleted to many over the years. After just coming back, I found myself looking for my lvl 50 Peacebringer (deleted). Then my lvl 33 Dark/Energy Brute (deleted). Then my lvl 50 Spine/Invuln Scrapper (deleted). Then my lvl... Alright, you get the drift. I've deleted way too many over the years.

Missing out... my Dark/Nrg Brute is TASTY and retardly resilient for not being soft-capped.

Hm, I'm kinda stuck on this. I transferred some characters around in January, the last time we had free transfers, so I could get one of each AT on Infinity, plus a couple of my old favorite characters. Got that, and now Inf is full up for me. And I don't really want to transfer any of them away, even though I now want space for new praetorians/vigilantes/rogues.

I was sort of hoping GR would come with a couple new slots. I don't get my next freebie until October.

Grump.

I was actually thinking about moving some of 50s from Freedom to Infinity since I'm buying slots now too.

It does. Two. Not 'two per server', two in total, which you can put on whatever server(s) you want. The maximum of 36 slots per server is NOT being raised.

Hey, perfect!

I totally retract my previous grumping.

Ditto. That's awesome. Maybe I won't have to send any characters away to die after all.

I plan on shuffling some characters around, but I'll probably just use the unlimited transfers as a way to rename people for free.

As it is, I have 3 open slots (of the max of 36 that are on it) on Infinity, plus one will free up as soon as the Brute that's holding the AP and Skyway mayhems for my lowbie Praetorians who will want Invader is deleted. I've also got a lot of 50s that I rarely ever play (twenty-six 50s on the server, including at least one of each AT, so... yeah). Now I just need to decide how many of those unplayed 50s are going to be moved to make room.

I may transfer one of my pbs off I dunno I don't really need 2 triforms do I? Other hand my 50 villan's transfering just so I can correct her name if there's no transfer cooldown

Coming back to CoX after some time away from it I will probably move some of my lowbie alts to another server (Virtue most likely), but leave the higher level "mains" where they are on Infinity.

Seeing as I play at odd hours of the day (8a-4p EST Sun-Weds) I am more motivated to go with a server that has at least -some- activity during the time I am active - and sadly, for some reason Infinity doesn't have that :-/.

Actually, I'm thinking of moving to Infinity from Virtue. I've been on Virtue for the last 4 years, and have noticed its steady deterioration into a bunch of cliquish, nitpicking group of demon/angel/troll/werewolf/vampire crossbreeds. The non-RP'ers are constantly harping on the RP'ers, and Pocket D is the center of public ERP. Small V/SG's can never get off the ground, large V/SG's don't care about you unless you're a prestige mule.

I'm moving all my 50's out into the hinterlands of Protector. The 40's are heading to Freedom so I can get them over that last hump into 50. The 25's-39's are heading to Infinity and Justice. Hopefully there'll be some V/SG's and teams out here?

I will be moving a couple rarely used characters from both Justice and Infinity to Guardian where I have only two characters, so that I have room for new characters. Also, I will be moving one away... and then right back again (he will be taking advantage of the "name change loophole").

I have been on Infinity since I bought the game back in July 2004, I've seen this server so crowded, but most are just standing around socialising, to folks just showing up en masse for new patch, AT's...ect, to players just showing up for raids....

...you name the scenario, I've seen it all on Infinity. But I will say this in favor of this server; Everytime I roll out a new character, I have NO problem finding teams.

I am not in a large SG or Coalition, I have no "friends", I am not in a clique.

What I do to get what I need? I simply play.

I put my name in the search box as available for whatever. I team up with whoever, I get my characters leveled up to 50, normally in about 2 weeks, without farming, powerleveling or any of that. I've done that with all 11 of my level 50 toons.

I simply play.

To all those thinking of moving away from Infinity, that is your choice, dont let the door hit you on the way out; but never assume that the "grass is greener on the other side".

Infinity will always be a great server to play, those of you that think nothing much is happening here, you would be incorrect.

I will never leave this server, even if I am the only player here.


Whaddya mean, we aint got no booze?!

I won't be leaving Infinity, but I'll probably be pushing a couple off to other servers--I need space, and I can't justify buying more slots. The main problem being all but one of my 50's are so dang useful. I could always get rid of my fail brute. Gods, he was a pain.
