not possible but there are rumors floating around that it is in dev stages. some say you can only transfer your skills, other say you can transfer anything you can carry with you while you go (100items or whatever your inventory/backpack/droids can carry). but thats all rumors so far.

Wait until JTL comes out to do it. The item storage in the Vet yacht (if you get it) would helpa lot...as would a YT-1300. They'd stay in your datapad, and the items would go with you.


At least, I hope that would work. It'd suck otherwise...

Any sort ofitem transferwould suck like a Dyson on steroids, imo.


You'd have people bumming their alts from one galaxy to the next in search of the best resource spawns, essentially making it impossible for those without equal RL funds to compete. Trade forum auctions could be monopolised by players from money rich servers ... where apparently cash was produced by credit duping ... you think it's hard to get a plus 3 AS exp tape at auction now, imagine what it could be like if item transfer were allowed.


I'm on a less well developed European server, where the economy/resource spawn stockpiles are about 6 (?) months behind the original US servers ... how could any crafter there hope to compete against someone transfering in who'd had 6 more months' worth of resource gathering?


I suppose character only transfer might be ok ... tho I've heard people are worried about an influx if Jedi on my server ... but item transfer would kill the game for me.


Iam.

I can't believe that people would keep transferring their characters between galaxies just to take advantage of resource spawns and the like. Considering the RL charge which is pretty much guaranteed to be associated with a transfer (most MMORPGs typically charge between $50 - $100 for a transfer) it would get kinda expensive.


But then again, I can't believe people would pay $1000+ for a Jedi account just to have it banned a few days later... but they do that too, so who knows... meh

Well, there we have it... the char transfer system has gone live.


$30 per character and you can't take any of your stuff with you (not even credits).


I think that puts an end to the "doom of the already messed up economy" theories

Hope so indeed, tho they are sort of leavig the door open for one day altering it to allow/incorporate item transfer too ... to which all I can say is, the day they do, I'm off.


Iam.

Eh, they can't transfer anything that is crafted. The resources on one server have never existed on the other servers. Crafted items retain the values of the resources that they were crafted with, so without the resources you couldn't have the items.





Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

hmm that doesn't make much sense..


yes an item is crafted from that server's resources.. but after an item is crafted the resources are no longer taken into account as that item has been assigned stats.. it is the stats that would be transfered with the item.

Take a good look at the next Iteam you Craft see that little like called Serial Number each Iteam is given one when it is crafted That serial number basicly is the Iteam if you transfer that Iteam that number could match the number of an Iteam on that server and that will definitly F*** things up. Second your a DE or trying to be well here is one for you there are some servers that still have not gotten ther MSE Bombs over 35 Destruct Points because they have yet to get good enough materials on there server. If you Transfer your 37 Bomb droid there what do you think would happen and that is an easy exsample what about WS/AS/Doc and so on that have to carfully balance multyple Experiment lines to get quality products. Lastly picture this your walking around one day and all of the sudden a guy shows up with hunders of Iteams on him in your back yard. Don't you think that will have an Impact on you. Lastly if you do some Iteams then you must do all Iteams and that means REASOUCES and that will kill a server if they have never exsited befor. And yes an influx of Iteams and Credits will damage an already shacky economy do mostly to Hologrinders and few real Credit Sinks
