Carbine,
 
So I enjoy your game a lot. I'm currently on a PvE server (Stormtalon) where there are literally ZERO guilds close to 40 mans. They may say they're close but they're nowhere near it. My guild recently had 37 people attuned to DS only to have 15 people quit this week. So now I'm left on a PvE server with no place to go if I want to see all the content you've created. The only guilds I currently know of on the exile side that are in DS are on Pergo. So now I'm faced with the decision to either A.) Run GA for the 1000th time or B.) Quit the game. Is there any chance that I'll ever be able to transfer to a PvP server so I can actually see new content?

			No transfers from PvE to PvP. Megaserver conversion is coming soon though.

			Megaservers aren't going to help.

			does anyone know why the restriction is there? i remember it being restricted in wow for a long while, but never knew why

No.
 
If this were allowed people would level to cap on PvE servers and then transfer to PvP servers.
 
If you are going to play the PvP rule set then you have to endure the ENTIRE Journey.
 
It's kinda lame really to do this.  If you are truly a PvPer then you will level your toons on a PvP server.

			Normally games don't allow this type of transfer because it would be unfair to those who leveled up on a pvp server to have a pve player coming over with gear / materials that they obtained safely as a pve player. I'm not 100% sure if that's the case in this instance, but that's the typical response I have seen over time.

People on pvp servers have a misconception that leveling and gathering materials is somehow a lot easier on PvE servers when in reality people on pvp servers avoid confrontation just as much as pve servers.
Wildstar is the first game i've ever played on a pve server and it doesn't feel even a little bit different than all the games i played solely pvp

you can transfer from a PVE server to Ascendancy and 7 Day´s later from Ascendancy to Hazak on Eu Servers
 
and you can transfer from HAzak to Ascendancy and 7 Days Later to another DE or FR Pve Server

			I've leveled 3 characters to 50 on Hazak EU (PvP). I've been attacked in open world twice. It's a similar story for the players i know on this server. I honestly could not care less if someone wants to transfer from PvE to PvP. What items or gear could they POSSIBLY have got any easier on a PvE server? Really, think about that. Dungeons, Raid gear are instanced and PvP gear is...instanced. You don't get anything of note in open world. The argument to disallow PvE > PvP is absolutely ridiculously stupid. No offense, but this needs to be changed.

Personally I think work needs to be done to encourage that missing world PvP rather than say "Ah well we don't have any anyway so why not let PvE players transfer".

You people who think PvP servers are just a stroll in the park need to come on over to Pergo.
 
Dailies tend to be a fight for you life.....  every.... single..... day during prime time.  I dunno where all these tool-boat Stalkers come from but they seem to congregate on Pergo for some reason.  It's been lesser as of late as more and more people quit but it's not a friendly environment.
 
Leveling on a PvP server would be the same as a PvE server now as no one new is playing but I believe i was ganked maybe 10 times + every night when I was levelings.

I've leveled 2 toons on Pergo.
 
except the 1-2 stalkers annoying you in dailies zone, and the occasional brawl at scorchwing... I got ganked less than 10 time, on both toon combined.

My question would be why do you want to transfer to a PvP server?
 
The only real difference at 50 is the ability to gank in the daily zones.  Don't bother trying to talk about "open world PvP"  that simply does not exist in this game.
 
Anyone else miss the irony in wanted to transfer to a PvP server to PvE raid?  What's next?  Cats and dogs living together?

He said it quite clearly- because he wants to raid DS and the guilds raiding DS are on PvP servers.
 
I have no dog in this hunt- but folks- this guy wants to raid DS right now. He's done the work and is geared. He has no opportunity to raid 40 man content, despite availing himself of the opportunities available to him. Don't pretend this isn't a problem.

I feel for you. We are just entering GA, so we are nowhere near where you are. But we had a guy join us for our first attempt at x-89 because he was friends with the RL; he came from a recently busted up guild (maybe your guild?) and all he did on TS was complain about how he was going to have to head back to WoW because the rest of his guild was done.
 
These are not the players Carbine wants to lose. And these are the players those guilds struggling with the roster boss want to find.

If the only reason to restrict this is because "well in WoW 10 years ago they did this because [insert unrelated or unspecified reason]" then that's pretty appauling. If nothing else, i think it's completely unreasonable for Carbine not to allow this given such a messy launch and ongoing changes with respect to servers. If a good reason to restrict PvE to PvP transfers crops up later on as the game develops then there would be nothing stopping Carbine from giving fair notice and changing the server transfer rules.
 
All we need is a little critical thought rather than blindly following the status quo.
 
I have no dog in this hunt either.

I don't want it because it feels like cheating to me, not because of any games or what said games did.
 
Are PvP servers the only option?
Are they the only option you want?
Have you tried asking around on the server forums or in-game?
 
Megaservers will be coming out soon and I think combining all the people in similar situations to OP would do a solid job at fixing it.

			I still don't understand how people can even run this game with 40 people on their screen! I have to set everything down to potato just to do GA on my decent PC.
