123418-cross-region-transfers-much-needed

Hello,
 
As many of us end up moving for work, school, or just because it would be great to see the ability to transfer from EU to US and Vice Verse. 
 
Also many of us have schedule changes which would allow us to find more appropriate guilds and peak play times.
 
I do not see why this should not be implemented!!!
 
Also I know many people that joined NA servers to play with a group of friends some have left and I am sure they wouldnt mind being able to transfer to the EU for lower ping and more schedule friendly peak times and vice verse. 
 
Even if it were a paid service say $10 to move cross realm and have a 30 day lockout. Could also make it to where only your Toon, Platinum, CREDDS< and items you have in bag (No bank) could be moved.
 
It cant be that hard to make a copy character tool that could then be uploaded to the new country realm(s).
 
I would love to see this implemented and surprised it has not already.
 
Lets face it the game population isnt millions of people and would be nice to have options like this available.
 
There really is no downside that I can see. It would not only help generate revenue, but also help keep players who have had sudden or planned changes in when they are able to game.
 
~Hope to see this soon~

			Has been asked before, but technically not possbile since the datacenters are not connected in anyway.

			Then the question is if it is a more pricey service where they email the data or something?

Lets say it was a $20 fee. Then they could very easily profit off doing it. 
 
Even though the data centers aren't connected the Data could still be easily copied and injected. Since its a case by case basis and is paid for, then I am sure it would be profitable.
 
Now combining all the servers that would be alot more complex I would assume.

They can't, really they can't
You're talking an investment here of a few million

I am pretty sure it can be easily done with copying data and injecting it onto another server. Since all a players data is stored somewhere, and other than no communication between the servers I am sure they are similar if not identical servers with the same software.

			I actually wouldn't mind see them merge the US and EU server or make a cross-region server. I mean, am I the only one that doesn't mind gaming with other regions?

As the only late night guild on EU servers, we're about to call it quits on trying to reach raiding.  The population is just too poor to support late night (or any non-prime time period) raiding.
 
We contacted Carbine and got the offer of a one-time account transfer/character wipe.  Naturally we're not going to do that, especially if the game goes down a path toward merging all servers, or worse.
 
We have started rerolling with trial accounts and will look into joining a guild when we're done attuning.  The latency is ok (100-150ms), sometimes better than NA players.
 
The difference between NA prime time and EU late night is as you'd expect.  Queues popping for protogames academy in ~5 minutes.  People teaming up for quests in zone.  Basically a vibrant, living game.
 
I'm advising the late night community to start over on NA if they want to raid.  We'll keep the late night guild going on EU, and hopefully things will turn around but we can't keep striving for raiding without hope.  There's just little community support for what we're offering, mostly down to population problems overall and the raid lockout keeping people from joining in from the circle. 
 
I hope we don't see a lot of the community quitting but having to buy another account, starting over, losing beta items, etc.  Yeah, pretty harsh.  Really hope they consider a paid copy service for the future so others don't have to suffer the same.

			I hope this is a lesson for future MMOs. Don't bother separating EU. The market is simply not big enough. Just have EU players play on NA like Australians do

Kinda Necro-ing this thread- Been thinking about WS alot lately but once again not wanting to start over and lose all the items so precious to me- 
 
SO stuck with the choice of EQ2 and Lineage 2 and Perfect World and FFARR at the moment.
 
Would love to contribute my cash to this game instead....Since it is a better game
