Came back a year later, and this feature hasn’t been added yet, I know being a Software developer is a really hard job, but I feel this is the main reason u lost 90% of the playerbase since it’s release, I quit bcs I couldn’t play with my friends, a year later nothing changed. Hope u’ll do anything by summer tbh.

dont think thats ever going to happen, mods already mentioned here multiple times. Then again server transfers are important to any mmo. Guess its just follow Korean mentality/norms and standards!
I cant even imagine starting from scratch in another region, especially to this F* of an mmo!

They cant merge servers because people made rosters on multiple servers. So what are they going to do? Give away thousands of free character slots? Or delete all your rosters that aren’t your main? They literally cant do anything about it. I understand the game was huge on launch but they really should have made 1 server per region and taken advantage of the channel system. 1 server per region would have also made stopping bots alot easier. Sadly i also know that 1 server per region couldnt handle all the players from launch. Basically doomed the game from day 1 because of all those kids that took our names and played for a week or 2 and quit.
That’s the neat part, there won’t be any transfer feature
‘server transfer tech is still unavailable at the moment’ or whatever the copy pasted response is. Perpetual carrot on a stick. The answer as to when it’s coming is: never. Never was a priority, never will be.
In the 0.1% of the cases that there aren’t enough slots in the destination server after a merge, either:
- Display error during server transfer, saying that user needs to either unlock more slots in one of the two servers or delete unwanted characters
- Lock exceeded characters and players have to buy the slot to unlock them
Same goes with names in case you attempt to transfer a character to a server where another character with the same name exists. They don’t even need to have room temperature IQ to think of solutions like this. Unfortunately that’s not the problem - the problem is that they don’t care enough to allocate resources to implement this.
Unfortunately a server transfer feature is not something that is being developed at this time
I mean it has evolved a bit. From something being discussed, to something that is not being developed. I can appreciate the honesty.

TBH I don’t think they’ll ever implement it. They did it once for another region, but for some reason they still think there are 15 healthy servers on NAE. My server is also dead, and I wasn’t able to create a roster on Azena at launch. It’s sad that the only response they can give is, “no plans at this time.” Good luck I guess with player retention.
One thing i don’t get is why they don’t develop this since it can be monetized.
Funny how fast they where to make new servers. when all servers where burning with queue times. JUST SO THEY COULD MAKE MORE MONEY FAST… now that they wont earn as much, they dont even bother trying to make server transfer or server merges…
This is specificaly answering server transfer ! but doesnt say anything about server mergers ? is there anything plan for the people in lost population servers in NA ? and the other regions ?
alot of people not able to do horizental content because of the lack of people at the same time on those events could you at least bring it up to your highter ups ?
If they’re not working on server transfers they’re not working on server merges either. The needed backend work for them to accomplish either of those would be the same just at a different scale.
server/region merges are a far, far bigger deal than player count imo
tripling concurrent count on all existing servers? i would question if ags/sg could do this on global even with a 50 million dollar budget
tripling player density by merges? feasible and increasingly needed
They don’t have the technology yet…although other MMOs had the technology 15 years ago. Apparently they can’t merge regions either…maybe they should ask Blizzard or Square Enix …they figured it out a decade ago.
That’s shocking in 2023…you can send that back to SG.
they already accomplish server merges in eu why not working on it for NA ? like it is very possible that what she answer is a half answer ! just like when they said other things in the past
Appreciate this piece of feedback. We’re definitely discussing server merge options, and I know in the past we have lowered some requirements for co-op quests. I’ll make sure that’s back on the table as well if it might assist with helping players complete some of this content.
copy pasta of what rox said 6 days ago your welcome
I just want everyone here to remember that we are talking about companies that were unable to give their game with millions players worldwide a proper character naming system.
Just saying.
Keep your hopes for anything infrastructure and technical-related things on the lowest possible minimum.
