 Do we like the game? Yes, do we wan't to play it more, you got it. 
 
Problem is we all created our characters on a PVE server without even realizing it. The typical MMO format has always had sever selection as a mandatory part in character creation, but i guess all of us somehow assumed that the game was just pvp by default or something, never even considered that we'd accidentally be on a PVE server, and it seems to be putting everyone on Entity. So i did a quick search and low and behold, can't transfer from PVE to PVP! So everything we've done, the time, the immersion, all of it, wasted. Dont really feel like starting over, i for one spent 2 hours creating my character. Such crazy little detail to end our wildstar expedition. Farewell.

They will enable transfer between PvP and PvE at some point in the future. I presume it's currently disabled because it would add further stress to their servers. Once everything there is sorted out it'll likely be enabled as a cash shop option.
 
Transfers within the PvE or PvP bracket are currently allowed because those servers are essentually the same server. Entity 1 and Entity 2 will, at one point, be merged into one server.

1 - It's very obvious when starting any MMO to check your server, so that your friends CAN join you. You're saying you and your friends all just made a character without even checking the server, just assuming/hoping you'd all end up on the same server? Seriously?
 
2 - You can save your character creation and put it on any future character you make, any server. It's the really big and obvious "Save/Load Character" option along with all the other customization options. I really don't know how you missed that after spending "2 hours" making your character.

That's a bummer you guys didn't check that first, could have saved yourselves a lot of hurt. Also a bummer you're not willing to wait for server transfers, which are temporarily disabled. Also a bummer that you don't know that PvP queues are a lot faster on the PvE servers due to the larger player base.
 
Anyways, I hope you and your friends find a game that's more for you.

Playing devils advocate here - the save/load character function is a bit iffy in general, because it only works on unfinished characters. And, well... when I intend to play the character anyway, there's really not that much need to actually save the appearance, since you can achieve the same thing by just clicking "create character", no?

Do you honestly think a person who didn't take the time to look into what type of server they were "forced" on is going to do any research? This dude and his friends already went full retard. I mean, if you change to a server where you have no toons on you actually get a bubble next to the create a character box that says something along the lines of "make sure you're on the correct server to play with your friends." I might have to SS that just to prove the point.
 
I took the SS!

Oh no, the few hours. You could roll new or just come back when they re-enabled PvE-PvP transfer.
 
 
Also you're not missing much by not being on the PvP server. As much as I love the PvP server, wPvP in this game is really as great as other wPvP games.
 
 
Edit: Also I think I've been baited real hard.

			can i have your stuff?

			I hope they come back and tell us they're all the way to level 15 and that's too much of an investment to start over. This story needs a cherry on top.

To have a cry that you can't  refuse to roll on the correct server and therefore you're going to quit?

What's the point of this thread?  To have a cry that you can't roll on the correct server and therefore you're going to quit?  And this deserves a forum thread... why?
 
Take some responsibility for your actions.

			I would be nice if server selection was IN YOUR FACE on character creation.

Huh?  I can't think of a single MMO off the top of my head, that has character creation before server selection... everything that I can think of, is Server Selection..then Character Creation.
 
What MMOs have you played that didn't have you select your server first?
----
			
2 HOURS in character creation? WTF
 
Well you cant blame the game for your mistake about the server. And as they others said, you can save your char customization. Or just wait for the transfer to open again.

			Ahahahahaha I'm sorry just hahahahahahahaha.Bye then.

2 hours creating a character with this limited system and you didn't notice the (PVE) after the server name.
 
Wow...
 
 	
----
			
Quitting when you can easily create another character for free or transfer *soon from PvE to PvP?
 
It's not like it cost you $ currently. A little effort/time, yes but you could wait for the paid transfer service which should be up after the merger. I wish you would all stay. If you really like W* like you said just make another character on the PvP server and wait for the transfer's to move your other character, your choice.
 
EDIT: Are aware that the only difference between the PvP and PvE server's is open world PvP? Everything else is basically the same.

I don't mind most rage quit threads because I can empathise with peoples' frustration and I think Carbine should know when their mistakes are driving people away.
 
But this...
 
..was completely your mistake?  I don't really understand the point of this post.  Is it so everyone can laugh at the ineptitude of you and your friends?	
----
			 :lol: That is all. ​	
----
			
Allow me to be the voice of empathy as much as I can muster. At the end of the day you and your buddies collectively flubbed but I'll try to give your voice what little strength I feel it deserves.
 
My first character was created in much the same way, although I spent only 5 minutes max on my first character, I too had already zoned in the tutorial area before realizing I hadn't selected any kind of server, in fact my mind had just sort of automatically assumed that maybe Wildstar didn't even have a distinction (I mean, I'm a new player so I just didn't know period).
 
Since I was momentarily confused by the lack of any server choice it took me going back to the character manager to find the button, which actually took me a few seconds as its tucked under the character list. It's not exactly small and hidden, but at the same time I wouldn't call it obnoxiously impossible to miss either.
 
I personally don't see a huge issue with suggesting that this important part of your characters creation could be made to be a more...vital part of the process, and to be honest that's all I think the OP was intending to relay. All the comments afterward just seems like butt hurt and defensiveness, because to be honest I don't sense any snark from the OP, just a guy who made a mistake and sees a way in which his mistake could have been prevented on Carbine's part in an understandable way. That doesn't mean he and his buddies weren't absent minded, MMO's make changes all the time to their UI in the name being more..."user-friendly".

Wow.  Two whole hours.  Can't start over.  Because of your own mistake.  All of your gang manage to roll on the wrong type of the server without noticing there's a difference.  And because you're all not exactly the brightest bulbs in the track lighting, you're gonna bail.
 
Well, I for one, am totally crushed.  This game need people of superior intellectual firepower.  I don't know how we'll continue without you.  Truly a terrible day in the history of MMORPGs.

Sorry I must have missed the part where he made any kind of useful suggestion on how to improve this feature, rather than simply stating that he and his friends made a bunch of assumptions, retrospectively decided to look into the matter, then decided to quit the game when they discovered they had goofed up.
 
One of his friends must have a smidgen of experience with MMOs if they know the distinction between the two server types, and if they have such a vested interest in PvP servers that this issue has caused them all to down tools, then you'd think they would look into it a bit more carefully beforehand.

aside from the fact that they will allow that transfer soonish (ive been waiting myself to get my main back on PvP side since the relaunch) they ALSO have a tidbit on character creation where you can save in text format a code to your character creation. so you can LITERALLY copy/paste your characters physical attributes to notepad/back to character creation again so you can recreate any character- down to EVERY LAST slider/hair style and ear size querk, Instantly. its quite nice. all the same if you don't wanna its not THAT hard to re create. and also you can skip the tutorial and start in the main quest zones at lvl 3 (cuts out a lot of the junk you'd likely want to skip) and honestly could get back to where you are faster than you might think.
 
ive always found that the second time around (especially if your entire intent is to just get back to where you were) you very quickly/easily fly through what seemed to take you hours/days the first time around and in many cases only end up spending minutes to hours. (second tgime around doesn't have all the wandering around/ wonder/ doddling and what not you and your buddies LIKELY did much of the first time through :p
 
give it a shot, otherwise just keep working at it on the PvE server and you can bring it over when the time comes (theres still world pvp on the PvE severs if you change your status on your nameplate not to mention battlegrounds and all the rest)
 
and if thats not good enough you can just wait for the transfers to be re enabled	
----
			
That is the last thing you want to come to the forums to complain about.
 
I really don't like seeing people shouting down legitimate complaints but this has to be one of the most foolish things i've seen in any MMO's forum.
 
There is enough information out there about the game and the servers at character creation are shown as PvE or PvP before you even start.
 
I can't say i've got any sympathy. For someone who claims to put that much into their character creation that they can't even see what server they are on....	
----
			Looks more like you just want a free transfer to pvp realm

OP seems like really obvious bait.
 
Aside from the flashy neon *cupcake*ing signs everywhere telling you what server you are on and how to select others, there are save cahracter features, theres also no game in history that prides itself on PVE content, where you would log in and ASSUME you were on a pvp server automatically.
 
2/10 for effort.

 :lol: I remember when I got the $5 preorder-starter CD for Aion, I spent more time on character creation than in game. Sadly, character creation in Aion was 10x more fun than the game itself. Oh well, at least I had fun making the toons.
----
			
I've tried, I did my best to put 2 hours into making a character but the creator here is so basic I didn't make it past 2 minutes.
 
Games like CoH, DCUO, Champions Online and APB I can understand, they have insane amounts of customisation. A lot of MMO's have less than that but still have more than this. Wildstar is as basic as you get for character creation, about on par with SWTOR.
 
Good game, bad character creation.

Like others mention, unless you are completely new to gaming, most multiplayer games require some sort of friends interaction in order to play together. And in MMO's is a standard feature to have server selection at either 1st step or clearly displayed and available during character creation.
 
Unless you are past level 25 I recommend rerolling. PvP servers have a somewhat smaller population, so you will not have to compete for quest items like in PvE and will level faster.
 
But a warning, Open PvP starts in Whitevale around level 22. Before that is safe zones PvE style.
 
And please, stop pointing fingers to Carbine. If you don't read, don't coordinate correctly is not any developer or publishers fault...
 
Is yours and yours alone.

If you want to restart a character with the same appearance, go to:
 
C:\Users\<Your Name>\Documents\NCSOFT\WildStar\CreationCodes
 
All your character creation codes are stored there.  Just find the one for the character you created and load that code in during character creation.  Et voila!
