Transfers between servers

[Raf Van Boom]

Can we have transfers between servers? Global PVP population is declining - I know some have asked for a merge but I think the better idea would be just to allow transfers between servers.

Not yet but is a plan for the future taking from some notes posted by devs a while ago.

How tough would it be.  Let a player keep his XP and gold.   He could sell all his assets before the transfer.

Seems simple.  What am I missing?

Just go play on the other server, there will be a wipe any way so it's not like your going to keep all this when it goes live.  If you did every thing before the wipe you should still have your level and it's so easy to level up these days now.  

Oh and by what I hear (been taking a good vacation) it's not dead, it's the problem that every nation in the world will only fight pirates and not each other.  Maybe stop making carebear alliances and fight other folks and you wouldn't get bored.

dead as can be, reaching 120 players now, prime time, toxic as hell too, no wonder nobody wants to play there.

Now we have fake french making a mockery out of this whole nation system.

While I don't agree at all with what certain players are doing. They are doing what the US/Brits/French have been doing to them. 

You don't fight alt abuse with more alt abuse and you don't fight "nation flee tagging" with the same thing too. It just boils down to a select few players for some stupid reason hate each other so much they don't enjoy the game anymore.

And for some god damn dumb reason, these players from both sides are making sure they get everyone involved because that's apparently the ticket to destroying the server. I'm hearing more and more from people who want nothing to do with the little "La tortue gang bang" and yet it it comes to kick them in the ass. 

How about instead of this crusade to destroy one another into not playing...we idk, actually have fun? Oh right, that doesn't register with people.

You give players the option to transfer and I know a good 30 who would do it. Then i have no clue what folks plan to do once the enemy leaves. Celebrate your victory of truly killing a server?

The problem arises when server environments are different.  For instance, a player might be a pirate on one server and then switch to a US account on another.  He has an advantage over his countrymen because he spent time as a pirate with more targets and therefore more pvp.  (This is just an example, but it is one of the obstacles which must be worked around)

Respectfully,

How is this a problem?  Why is it significant if a player has more experience with PvP, and has spent more time as a pirate on a separate server and has had more targets?    I can't understand whatthe obstacle is here.  In the example above: - Sounds like the US on the Euro Server might be gaining a new player with lots of XP, gold and is experienced.  The other players on the Euro Server will get a new opponent for PvP.  Lots of PvP lovers say they want more opponents.

It is not a problem. Devs stated in a thread before the wipe happened that character transfer is an idea for the future but not for the present.

Priorities now are localization languages, Tutorial system and UI overhaul.

Nobody has to go to La Tortue.  It is completely optional.

As for me, I am tired of the hop in/hop out game after 20 minutes.

I would also back character transfer between servers.  IMO nation hopping on the same server is much more problematic for gameplay.

What I don't understand is so many vets maintain they can regain their rank in only 2 weeks with a new character, so what's stopping them from just creating a new character there now, and working it for those two weeks?  That's what I would do if I wanted to switch.
