im guessing i can't be the ONLY one who- being a PvP server only (for the most part /when possible anyway) sorta player- VERY RELUCTANTLY transferred to the PvE mega server back when not doing so left you pretty much alone in a ghost town of a server...  (when it was still P2P as well, obviously) i am wondering if theres anyone else who, like me JUST NOW got back/re downloaded/ updated etc and wanting to return my main to the PvP server he originated/belongs? i just saw something about character transfers being ended or haulted? was that just for the maintenance/ switch to F2P? do you think they would allow those of us who moved via Free transfers to the PVE mega server off the dead ones to return to said pvp servers without having to pay whatever cost considering we only did it when we had no choice.
 
any info/advice would be much appreciated, thank you in advanced

			No, PvE to PvE is free for now, but PvE to PvP is paid. Also is disable atm due to inastability.

			Nope.  They posted fair warning in the lead up to the f2p transition.  Paid transfers will most likely be up once they get the server issues sorted.

			Free transfers ended after being free for most of the year. Paid transfers will be a game store service in the coming weeks. With the additional servers they just added I'm not sure if PvE to PvP is an option, and they're not on right now to know for sure.

fair warning doesn't seem to apply to people who were paying/switched before F2P was even announced (switched because if you didn't you were alone on a server) and came back AFTER your said "warning" was over with.

They announced this on Sept 3.
 
I supposed if you had visited the forums, and read the pinned threads (assuming the people who are interested in coming back would?), you would have seen it. Or reddit for that matter. Some players even made new PSA threads "LAST CHANCE for free xfers!" on both forums in the days leading up to the deadline. I understand that most people don't not to pay for a sub (or buy cheap box) JUST before F2P to prepare their accounts for the transition, because why pay when it's gonna be free, right? I reactivated my account a week prior to transition, to clean up my inventory mostly, but I had Credd on my account so it wasn't a big deal.
 
The warning was there, you just didn't read up on the info beforehand. They will open up xfers again, but it will be paid. Or, if people complain loud enough, they might even give a token, like they did for participating arena teams, if you meet certain criteria.

for the longest time warning stated that the transfers will be available on 29th also, which is when F2P players would have come back. Then they changed it to the 28th. There were complaints, but the last dev response was on the 19th were they said that they're looking into a solution (that never came). So no, not really a fair warning at all. Especially when a transfer is 2X the sub.

Splitting hairs much?  The fact of the matter is that people did little to no research before coming back and now want what others were able to complete no problem simply because they were too lazy to spend five minutes searching the forums the week before the f2p transition.  I have no sympathy for people who bailed on the game and couldn't be bothered to check back for even the most cursory of glances before crying, "Gimme, gimme" in a game that's free anyway.
 
Btw the pvp server died, because people like the OP left the game.

Is that really the case? That seems backwards. I don't doubt it but I wonder at the logic. I would think you would want to make PvE to PvP free. It should always be free to switch to whatever is the smaller group (faction, server, race, path, etc - anything that ever gets a service to switch), and paid to go to the larger one - to encourage balance.
