			They did. Until they turned transfers off so the gaming experience would be more stable and Support wouldn't get slammed with transfer problems on top of everything else.There's a reason it happened. I wouldn't call it disgusting, but then again a lot of people today seem to be using over the top word choice to provoke drama.

			As someone would say on a busy night in prison "just bear with it" .

So they gave everyone free server transfers for about one year.
 
Then they gave everyone a free 10-day play pass during which players could move any characters they wanted, for free..
 
Are you really disgusted at this treatment? Or just a little sore that you didn't use the free stuff while it was available?

			yeah and then they make you suddenly pay for it when they know everyone is going to come back

			Truly disgusting. Having to pay for a service. What has the world come to?

I think someone missed the memo.
 
edit: and put some clothes on.  Cant have naked boys running around the forums.  There are children on here.

			Not exactly pointless. Less people on each server means less queue times and lag. But also allows you to go to PvP if you're on PvE and vice versa.

			Oh wait... WWWHHHAAATTTT?  Are there other servers? I only see 1 and 1.	
----
			This game is so broken... lags lags lags... and I cant even create a new character :D lol	
----
			if i new about it i wouldnt be a returning player would i, i would of had the last year to transfer so get of your high horse. im talking about players who left a year ago and came back today	
----
			It went free because noone played this game, stop acting like this game is doing everyone some crazy favor, was literally a dying game. I love this game and still sub but its hilarious and false to sit there and act like they did this for the players no how much they claim they did	
----
			This is the downside of F2P...you give them free content including housing dungeons raids pvp events, oh and a fantastic world, and they still moan

I can only speak for myself as a returning player of sorts, but I took the free transfers to pvp when i did when i read this thread:

Also on the 27th in-game there was a notice telling people to transfer before the service was cut too...
 
Beyond sending out a mass email, I don't think there was much else they could do. I would think if people were aware of the F2P launch they'd have looked into information on changes, and such happening to the game as well as services, but that's just me. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I just kind of expect people to have been aware of the f2p launch least a week before and not the day of.

I had some issues way back with char transfer, was the guild leader and apparently there was some hiccups and couldn't be done as swiftly as with other characters, (apologies, I can't remember the exact details).
 
In the mean time, RL and other games have taken me free time and tho I've never forgotten about Wildstar, (such potential!), I sadly forgot about this.
 
Now, I'm a big boy and can handle what's served to me - it seems to me Carbine has had a fairly decent plan about this - and, most importantly, been fairly communicative about it, (yours truly blissfully and embarrassingly admits :P), I just want to make sure I have the full picture;
 
If I didn't transfer my characters earlier on, they are now gone?
 
(I'll live, fresh start and all that, revisiting zones and so forth, bigger issues to worry about elsewhere)
