Server transfer costs after change

[Dawdler.8521]

If this is the forst step toward alliances then no, I dont see why. Server transfers would be mostly free then anyway. If.

a) While this is what we all want, there are other things to consider, such as overall populationb) The right can be realized by all friends transferring to a less populated server

As for transfer costs being waived? As this act always messes up the already existing messed-up balancing even more, I say no to this. As it is, transfer cost to a medium populated server is already pretty low - 500 gems, currently around 156 gold. You can earn that easily over 8 weeks. Alone through the dailies you get 112 gold.

So, OP, it would see the answer to your question is that you aren’t the ONLY one who thinks transfers should be free after a major change.

But you are heavily in the minority of forum posters who will answer a public poll.

Why a guild has to left a community where they are fine and in good relationships with other guilds ? People has the right to enjoy to play where they like. In this case the server that it has not linked are double penalized. We should move from an area where we have friends and enjoy to play . It's ANET that it has to grant and support communities instead of destroy.

We were two servers that had been linked for ages, therefore we had many guilds that had players from both servers. Now we had to vote on which server we were going to play. That resulted in a kittenload of gold or RL money being paid for transfers.

I don't think this is fair. Your suggestion would have been even worse than what we are already dealing with (i.e., guilds falling apart, alliances falling apart).

That's the whole idea behind linking; getting money from transfers..

Yeah, an opinion no wvw player would ever share who has had dead matchups in the past.

So after completly making national server irrelevant due to this spicy new thinggy... yes it would be fair to give everyone who is now mixed with other language servers a free server trans.... but it wouldn't matter, all Ger Servers for example are linked with EN/FR Servers and Kodash is still "full" (lul btw).

[spectrito.8513]

If anything Anet should double the costs to transfers

[Dayra.7405]

The current changes (which only affect EU) aren't the ones you need for free transfers.

For free transfers:1) transfers should be restricted to 1 week in 2 month namely the week before relink.2) the transfers must have immediate consequences for world population

This way, people can freely transfer where they want to be, but, the linking can create balanced matches afterwards, which cannot be imbalanced by transfers.

[style.6173]

After a world relink, ANET should charge triple the first week, double the second week, and then the regular amount the third week.

[Bravedave.4851]

How about keeping transfers the same cost, you can't stop guilds and friends moving around. But instead lock the account out of WvW so it cannot enter the battle for a set period after the move.

[imahich.8415]

love how they screw you over pips when you transfer even when i paid 600 gold to do so

[Fawx.9064]

If anything it should cost more to transfer straight after a re-linking.
