Hello CS Rep:

I am a current player and have been since BETA 3. I have played the same character since the second day the game was released and have tried to complete many objectives and goals in order to enhance my character and the SWG experience in general. Recently many of my fellow coworkers have started playing on another server andI was happy to hear about the character transfer service being available finally; especially after it was talked about a while ago. I am ancsious for a transfer, but at what cost?
I was severely dissapointed to hear that the transfer only involved the current experience earned and skillboxes acquired in your given professions. Since I have been playing a while, and in light of the old and new Hermit quests and Jedi "Revamp", I was very surprised that the transfer did not AT LEAST include the player's currently obtained badges. I know that this could mean a flux in many probable players with Force attainment close to "Glowing", or even further along, flooding possibly one or two popular servers. I thought, though, that the wait times on the "Old Man", the Village, and server populations prevented some of the FS unlockers from getting out of hand?
I am honestly asking for a compromise of at least letting the badges, or some of the major badges, transfer along with the character to the destination server. The character transfer services offered in the past, by other MMO games did not put such a limitation on the character as this service you have implemented(Not to mention the money involved).

So I ask you...

Please try to give us, as a community, at least something in return, for not only our money monthly, but also for the fee asked. We have given you, as developers, time to change and revamp many systems and mechanics of this game that have redefined it time and time again. We have stood by you all, and now its time we ask for something small in return. I'm sure you have read the many posts on this subject and know that the idea of loosing all of the items and acknowledgments, that make a character what he is in this game, is not something any person with any time invested in it will accept. Its really disrespectful to ask us to pay for sucha lame service as this.

Thank you for reading this request and hopefully doing something about this matter.

2. Secondly, if a person were to obtain the FS exp requirements to enter Aurilia, could he/she then carry the entry status over to the new server? And furthermore, what about any obtained FS exp that was transfered from within the village, or skillboxes bought or trained? Basically, if you are somewhere in the climb toward Jedi status, does any of that experience and/or skills transfer with your character?

--Maybe we can get them to budge a little on the allowable transfer items and/or acknowledgments if we stay on it. Its enough that we have to pay $30 for one char.
