i used own a private server of a game i wont mention when i was younger with a friend that studied Code programing or something like that at the time. we had a challenge back then to transfer real game characters to our private/pirate server we end up been able to do it . if 1 solo young student guy can do this kind of stuff how a professional game developer cant do it in his own game. that blow my mind.

You are talking about transferring 2 versus ten of thousands of players that will ruin the game devs if any mistakes are made…not the same thing, at all.
I will say that not having server transfer close to finished at launch was a huge mistake. New World had server transfers ready within 2 weeks of launch, seems odd that this is still “on the roadmap”…

I get that there is likely a bit involved in a character transfer; particularly if there is server-wide statistics that need to be tracked.
My advice, as a software engineer, is to create two dummy servers, keeping track of ALL changes, and create a new character on both servers. Once you have checked what changes are made to the server on character creation, attempt to overwrite one of the existing characters with one that exists on the live game; modifying any statistics that change with the character (things like total characters in guilds, total characters that have earnt X achievement, etc…). Once that character is successfully replicated, attempt to repeat the process across the dummy servers, including the deletion process.
There are a number of forseeable problems, particularly with achievements and statistics. But this should be fixable by implementing a request system on the server that allows modification requests to be sent to the server, allowing achievements and statistics to be modified while the server is still live.
This pathway of implementation is guaranteed to work. If nobody on your team is able to implement this, I’ll implement it for free for you. It’s not hard.

Central EU is full on 1:00 PM with 8k+ que… the only way you guys can get players to other serves is character transfer …or just give us a free lvl 50(if alredy had one) whit the same gear as we had in central eu …or i dont know but there must be a way …if you want to play you need to sit like 5h+ just to get in.

You are loosing whales and regular paying players every single day without that options.
Players will not spend money on a game that they can’t login or the shop futures don’t always work.
That alone should make this option a higher priory for the publisher.

But there is - 1/12(수) ~ 1/16(일) 서버 이전 신청 기간 안내 (내용추가) | 로스트아크 - 공지사항. Can you guys actually look into this? Cos Korean side of the game has had this feature since before the game launched in the west.
The answer is MAYBE. Always MAYBE.
Guys we need help. MAYBE
Guys can you do. MAYBE

Hello Seawolf. Could you please clarify if what is in the works, is either Server or Region transfers please?
If it’s Server transfers, could you please explain how this helps, when we are told the region is at capacity and to blame for the matchmaking issues etc?
If region transfers are an option, but going to take a while to implement. Is it atleast safe to start playing on the other region? That would lessen the pain of waiting for the implementation, knowing we can level different class, and our EU C class will come across with our goodies at a later date!
Thank you

this is ridiculous
if there is no server transfer then you better make sure there is cross server meaning i can group with people on other servers in content such as pvp arenas
or at least make it possible to buy level 50s (powerpass) on a diff server

I’m split up from a rl friend. 
this would be an easy eloquent solution for them. go to different server, buy power pass with your skills from old one. Doing the 2nd Awakening quest chain again is not reasonable!
I dont understand how it is not more action on this thread considering how many is talking about quitting the game recently. On Procyon where we cant do world bosses and have useless progress compared to most servers there is more bots than normal players doing chaos, fishing and overall the experience is poor.
Highest leveled guild is level 5 and most players consider or have already quit. Is there going to be an alternative for server transfer? If you just give a yes or no answer alot people can decide to stick around instead of abandon the game. It feels like there is not even a dialogue about this from your part.
I’m playing in Kazeros SA. It’s a full brazilian server that speaks in portuguese. Can’t do anything with these people because of language (i’m from argentina and speak spanish) and i’m just stuck there.
Yesterday i finnaly checked PvP and when I saw it is imposible play with my buddy (he is on another server) all my all my desires to play have collapsed
This game has great pvp, why I cant play with friends???
PLEASE GIVE US TRANSFERS
We are still suffering from bad game start with all this servers overpopulation problems

Despite all the bad stuff from WoW, they have the best server technology. You can almost play with anyone from anywhere. Even in the beginning WoW servers were all separate. Amazon with all their resources should be able to implement something similar I’m sure since it’s their servers the NA/EU is using.
Im losing My Will to play for this issue.
Purchased items shoud be aviable as account bound and not server.
It’s a Big design mistake, Big one.
A solution Will be to duplicate the items that You Buy for every server, but thats not possible idk why.
I think they don’t care anymore, just lose playerbase more Will come…
Im losing my will to play for this issue.

I started my roster on NA-East Adrinne. This was a huge mistake as that server’s population is very low. Things like the wandering merchant tracker on the community Discord are useless because nobody reports any locations on this server.
I really wanna switch to a more populated server. We need this functionality badly!
