...SOE wants 50 bucks to transfer a naked toon (no money, no armor, no bags, no nothing) and if u wanted to switch servers also another 50 bucks which IMO is total scam
Think about it from their side of the issue for a moment... if they didn't charge a hefty price to jump servers, every ditsy 15 year old in the game would be jumping from one place to another at the drop of a hat...
"But I just
HAVE to move (again)... my best friend in the whole world (this week, anyway) is on server XYZ and I want to play with him."
I love PvP
I hate PvP
my old gf is on that server
my new gf is on that server
my best friend is on that server
my best friend left the server
the guild I want to join is on that server
The list of reasons is endless and SOE would need an army of techs just to keep up with all the petulant children who
needed to move for one reason or another. And aside from that, wouldn't it also put a giant snarl in server operation to be moving characters all the time? As it stands, you
REALLY have to want to move in order to do so.
Does it affect those who have a legitimate reason to make a change, yes but thats life!
