Character Transfers; Yey or Nay?


Good day, this is the Informer.

FunCom is getting closer to publish long waited option for payed character transfer between servers. There is a lot of discussion on the forums about it, either shouting opinions for or against, and also suggestions for the most ideal system.

There alsorts of fuss and suggestions about cooldowns and from what server you would be able to transfer to what etc. And how is the RP-ruleset going to aply in these transfers? A lot of people on Aquilonia are afraid, that there will be a mass imigration of crappy pvp'ers from Fury to our lovely haven of piece.
We have already witnessed the first stages of "lollernoob"-flight. Im comparing this phenomena to other wellknown and documented mass moving and imigration; the white flight thats happening in industrial countries around the world.
So, as stated, the first stage of the lollernoob-flight is now imminent and going on. We have a lot of immigrants from Fury that either 1. transferred their chars months back or 2. have grinded new toons on Aquilonia. Now they are telling their friends about our lovely server, the free kills, fast exp, uncrowded leveling areas and thus are creating a hype phenomena to invite more players from Fury.

The next stage starts with another wave of new incomers, that leads to an uproar on the original community. This upraising is going to be futile, and as a way out the old community starts to pack their stuff and move elsewhere, most propably to pve and pve-rp servers. This stage of the flight will propably be "launched" if the server-change option comes available between fury and Aquilonia.

The third stage is the final one; Aquilonia has become the new Fury, with lollernoobs whacking eachother sensless, and leaving the crappy players to start finding new servers and building prospering communities. Cycle begins all over again.

So listen to me little shit-tards! We need the RP-ruleset, the naming ruleset and common sense enforced NOW and not later! If FC wants Aquilonia to stay as an serious RP-server, and not just "mini-fury", they should start acting pretty damn fast or the game is over, lost and done for for the RP'rs.

Informer recommends anyoe who is interested about the situation to send hate-mails to FunCom. Snail-mail works best, and I do mean literaly to put some snails to your letters going to FC. With luck, those snails will develop fatal bacteria while rotting through the postal system, and will infect FC workforce leading to mass death. Thus we'd actually have a chance to get some skilled people hired instead ot the people working there now.

  6. I HAVE AMASTER PLAN

    what funcom should do is only allow people to transfer from aq to fury in the hope the shit heads might leave )
    then only allow transfers to aq from rp servers in the hope we might get some more rpers in problem solved
    this way the rpers cant go anywhere go anywhere

  7. -Boy Genius- is kinda a gay name you know :D

    I don't suspect a flood from Fury by paid transfers. Most of the fury guys are happy with their server, and Aquilonia is lacking the numbers for them to enjoy PvP they used to be. Gaining PvP-XP is much faster in Fury (as the guys going from here to there already proved it), and battles/challanges are more large scale compared to this server.

    There might be only three reasons for a fury guy to come to Aquilonia
    1. Have friends here
    2. Want to try rp
    3. Expect more maturity

    All those options will bring mature guys with a bit of interest on RP so I think it will not be a problem.

    About "lololonoobpawnzors" players in Aquilonia, as you know most of them are the alts of respectable members of carebareish guilds, not fury re-rolls.
