A new badge for anyone who transfers a toon from a NA server to an EU server, or vice-versa.

Keeps Passport exclusive to those who earned it the intended way.

Oh I get it cuz they pay for the transfer with a credit card. j/k

Only if they add a new badge for healing 10 million points of damage, and only give Empath to people who heal 1 billion points of damage as intended, without using farms.

Badge requirements are subject to change.

And anyways, I know at least one person who has had Passport on a NA character on a NA account (that has never been EU). There's already people who have it without "earning it the intended way".

The intended way? You do realize that when Passport was first added to the game it was INTENDED to be a badge that anyone would get if they simply transferred from one server to another. It didn't have anything to do with NA to EU transfers.

When people first heard about that they complained that would mean we were basically just "paying for a badge" via the cost to move a character from one server to another. Based on that criticism the Devs decided to REDEFINE the Passport badge to be one you'd get if you made that one time server transfer from NA to EU years ago.

Bottomline the Passport badge was ALREADY changed once. There's really no reason why it can't be redefined to something else.

This is true. I have run across a few NA players who were granted Passport "by mistake" and the Devs never did anything to correct it. If some NA people have it already it would not be a big deal at all for others to have it as well.

There's nothing "exclusive" about Passport and there never was.

But...

It's so much fun being able to taunt the rabid Badgers with it!

I've lived without the Passport badge for like 5 years now. I think I can cope if it remains out of reach.

I only thing I don't like is when people come up with ideas for badges that have no basis in the precedence of this game. The Devs are far more likely to redefine the requirements for Passport after this server list merge than create a new "cloned" badge like the OP suggested. *shrugs*
