Or, get rid of it entirely for US server players. There are a few people who have this due to a bug, and it's inappropriate to have on the US shores. This would be a bug fix. But if you want to make it for anyone who transfers, that would keep in spirit of the intent.

I'd get behind either of those ideas as honestly, I don't think it's fair to have badges in game that are literally unobtainable. Both of those ideas are pretty good to keep with the spirit of the badge, though I think they'd shy away from the server transfer idea as it reeks of paying for a badge and that's just NOT kosher, or a good road to go down.

He joked that he'd name such a badge the "I paid real money for this badge" badge.
Even though the game might technically get money from badgers who'd be willing to buy server transfers 'just' to get a badge at least Positron is standing firm against the idea based on how much of an "unlevel playing field" that would create. It would obviously be unfair to people who couldn't afford to pay extra real life money for that kind of thing. *shrugs*

which I did, but at least I waited till they hit big lots and it only cost me 10 bucks .. and included a months play .. OTOH nevermind ....
I like the idea of passport being tied to server transfers especially with the free transfer window coming up

Did you ever wonder why they've never given us another badge related to a retail booster pack -after- that one and only V.I.P. badge years ago? IIRC enough people whined about having to "buy a badge" that the Devs have apparently thought twice about ever doing it again. Positron's reaction to having to buy badges comes from all the angst he's gotten on the subject.|

OTOH if the Devs will from now on always provide a "free server transfer" opportunity during the launch of every Issue in the future then maybe they could rethink the server transfer badge idea. Technically speaking you wouldn't have to pay for it if you could always plan on there being times you could sneak it in for free.
