Comments on: Character Transfer Potions are a Go

I used the transfer token yesterday and it worked fine, except for one glitch. I had some ghost mail messages (ones in my mailbox that didn’t show up), which prevented the transfer. I had to petition, but a GM cleared the out, and then it worked ok.

The bigger question is what plans does SOE have for dealing with the server issue? I’ve been playing on Antonia Bayle for over a year now, having started over fresh after leaving a server that’s dying. You know what dying means, right? Hard to find a group, only a few guilds have access to the higher level zones, so getting your mythical means paying through the nose. Yeah, the mythical weapon that was intended for raiders but is now required by most pickup groups. It’s one of the servers that’s near the top of the list whenever you make a new character.

By making it easy and cheap (well, cheaper that it was) to transfer characters, is everyone in EQ2 going to be playing on AB soon? I’m not complaining, but I’d like to know that there’s some plan to deal with the inevitable issues.

Hi Stargrace, a quick pre-welcome back to AB server message. Seems like an age since you left. Did you know Littlebyte and Beafcake have started playing again, and the Inquisition is seemingly back on the scene! Anyhow, I hope your transfer is without stress.

theres been a couple issues with the transfers, but for the most part they seem to be a big hit. People are having ghost mail in their mailboxes that prevents them from moving, and CS has to clear it for them. Theyre looking to see if its possible to allow players to do this themselves. @jsquirrel, theyre looking to see if this is possible. Its not atm.

Welcome back to AB. You just missed the Festival of Unity – but Festival of Discord will be coming up in the Fall. Of course there are taverns nearly every night of the week now on both sides.

Hello Stargrace. I’m a long time reader of your blog and 1st time poster!

Now that this transfer service is available, I am also going to be moving one of my toons from Butcherblock to AB and I hope to catch up with you and your merry crew. Reading your adventures always makes me jealous, as all my RL friends have left the game and I have a hard time finding my comfort zone in any of the guilds I join.

I’ll definitely be looking your folks up when I get to AB

Unrest still seems pretty populated to me. There is a nice range of guilds and people out there from 1 to 80. Of course the majority is 80 (or aiming for 80).
Don’t know how many people plan on leaving servers though. Good luck in your move, can’t wait to see if everything pans out for you and your friends.

When you were choosing your character’s destination server with the item, did you notice if it was possible to move between regions (ie EU region to US region)?

Even on my server Lucan there was much talk of moving to AB. At this rate that’s going to be the only server with a population.
