never happen. 1 account per galaxy would mean in some cases you would lose a toon?

I like Kettemoor just the way it is...each server has a feel to it, like a personality.

I hope this never happens.

I think it's a great idea as most galaxies I've visited seem completely and utterly dead right now.

People facing this issue should be allowed one free character transfer.

If the Dev's would just give everyone a second Toon instead of making us screw around with Jedi to get one, it would all work out just fine.

If your servers dead move. Or character transfer. I easily moved to Naritus 1 toon. Already banked 8 mil and spent much more. Its easy to move and grind skill trees except jedi and force sensitive.

Free transfer? You realize your stuff is not going to transfer.

And how is that going to increase server population? That's nothing but an "I win button" for people who want to have buffbots and whatnot.

I am aware, but there must be some way they can do it.

On the plus side, also, merging galaxies could also lower costs for SOE.

When this issue first started coming up I was very much against it. However I would be willing to accept it if:

1. All of your items, skills (including FS & Jedi), xp, credits, etc. transfered over to the new galaxy;

2. They used the transfer to create at least one PvP and one RP server with different rule sets more appropriate to those concerns.

At the risk of going off-topic, there's a thread in the GCW forums about why specialised PvP servers would suck. I agree with your first point completely, however.

The server maintenance is not that costly. They are already bought, paid for and have ROI. It makes no sense to shutoff an operational server.

Database merger, on the other hand is costly. Moving those transaction logs, the server shutdown time would be long. All the cross checking and referencing involved in moving every single thing. Its not going to happen that way on a merger. You'll be moved xp and skills and that is it. It is to hard to move items, housing, cities, etc. Those would all dissappear on one server. It makes no sense economically to shut down a paid for server.

I like smaller servers personally, less campy.
