Server Transfers

Postby CockyBastard » Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:46 pm

Your opinions on how they should be?

I believe there should be a fee (fare on a ship), but thats obvious to stop everyone simply jumping over.
Personally I would be in favour of a transition that leaves everything as is - I go to Jamestown do my shopping (read: raiding) and return to Roanoke. (scents might be an issue for developers)
Do you transfer and lose your claim, stall etc?
Can you take your inventory?

I think you should have to build a big ship to transfer to another server. Then big wigs can charge fees to take lowlies over. ¦]

Actually that isn't a bad idea - use your own boat (canoes won't cut it) and there is damage - which must be repaired - or you can pay a shipwrite in each port to do it for you.

I think just a long walk ought to cut it, with a big patch of darkness in between the edges of each server. Making it difficult but not impossible for lowbies to make the journey and scents will work the same.

If transfer is by ship, then you should have to have no outstanding scents.

From what I've been told merging into one world is not going to happen or possible - would be my favourite way though.

Wouldn't be hard. wipe the 3 servers and shut down the ****** new ones.

Start a new world 5-10x bigger in size.

Shut down all servers and allow free character transfers to the new world.

Suddenly the game feels active again and you don't shaft current players.

One server? Realism? Then I want to walk for a month, if not more to get far far away from everyone.

One world is too small for so many crazy people.

there should be both ships and the darkness areas of the three servers should merge into one another, crossing a deep enough point should zone you to the other servers deep darkness, it should be a long and dangerous trip through areas of extreme drain though so that most people use ships.

the world will have to get bigger eventually, if they're indeed adding mounts like flying brooms and horses (if its relatively fast to get anywhere now imagine when those are implemented :? )

Anyway, on the topic. My favourite way would be merging the servers and allowing to walk between them, but if thats not going to happen... I'm sad :(
