Endgame Community & Server Migration

[Kimiko]

As we know, SE has been considering allowing for open server migration between worlds in one form or another. If (and I do emphasize if) this happens, what if any would be the impact upon the endgame community as a whole?

Hi guys, I'm going to steal the LS bank and hop to a different server, preferably with a different name. See you there! :-)

[SamanosukeShiva]

when SE release that thing, there's gonna be a whole lot of paranoid ppl for a few weeks

[Undeadhunter]

if this would happen too many people would go to server xxx and no people would be on server xxx so they'll probably limit the amount of people.
First see then believe tho

[Gippo]

there would have to be a huge limitation or entire economies would be ruined beyond repair.

hmm item X sells for 100k on this server
item X sells for 300k on this server.

SE could use WoW's idea where when you transfer you can only bring so much gil with you.

However, if you need to charge like in WoW (20.00), then fuck that.

then you just cash in your money to items and switch to a server where they're worth the same/more

I could see them doing it like that. That would definitely limit people hopping servers whenever they feel like it and get them extra money from us.

I'd consider server hopping to experience a different HNM shell, but I'd probably talk to the folks in that shell before hopping. Most of the big problems on Asura have been cleared up by the RMT ban's and new pop item changes from the last patch. HNM isn't as highly contested as it was before, and people aren't obviously botting like before either.

Yeah, I just thought of that.

Unless they make it where you can only transfer a server every XX months. However there will probably be a fee for this.

This forum will have to deactivate private messages because all of the people PMing members with cross-server applications.

The best solution would be to charge 25$ to do it, and you can only move once a year. For 25$ only serious world changers would do it. And I dont think anyone needs to change servers more than once a year.

[Suci]

What im thinking is se is trying to get people off servers so in the near future they can shutdown that world. More money in pocket for a dieing/dead game. If enough people leave a world i bet they will shutdown the world and move people to another world.

RMT would make character farms, concentrating on servers where they get banned less often, and then migrate them to servers where they do, so they could start RMT activities without the usual warning signs. (leveling up in alliances, and all that jazz)

Watch for it ^^

Yeah, but if you need to pay for it. I doubt RMT would use the service.

I'm hoping half of the lurkers/posters (of BG) jump to bahamuth/gilgamesh/asura so they can bug Rocl/Nynja/LW and i can camp (and wipe due to being alone) NMs at leisure ^____^

We'd probably just crash BTL's forums

Why do I get the feeling people would bug Rocl, Nynja and LW for entirely different reasons...

I was kinda thinking something like this would probably happen. I hope those people have free space on their blacklists.

[SassiAsura]

I'd have to be promised something pretty good to move from asura...
Who's going to give me a ridill? going once... twice?
