[Accepted] Opening 1:1 Transfers

#1 » Post by **Flooded** » 21 Mar 2017 18:12

I talked about it with several people already, but I think its time we allow transfers from majority of WotLK servers.

I think if its possible to bring people to TW, we should figure out how to do that.

Servers I'm proposing to allow to transfer here:

Warmane, Gamer District, Feenix WotLK

The main reason I'm suggesting we take on these Pay 2 Win is that its not going to directly impact any progression race thats going on as the server is content complete.

Glad to hear that you opened transfers for those servers

I see you spoke to Arnis.

We already have a lot of over geared/achieved characters transferred to TrueWoW, so I don't have any problem with allowing these servers too. I do not think it will bring many new people, it would rather hand out a few geared characters to the ones already playing here (people enjoy abusing the transfer system). Though, I still think it's worth a shot as TrueWoW (and PrimalWoW) is really empty and in big need of more players.

One possible modification to the suggestion would be that we only allowed the transfer to happen if there actually was a lot of interest in transferring here from those servers. Don't bother accepting it if it's less than 10 unique players, as it's likely only people already playing here wanting a new geared character. Guild transfers would be a nice thing too.

Guild transfers are already a thing, but its hard to approach/be approached by a guild if that makes sense.

I suppose we could figure out a way to put more information out there though.

I agree with Gnurg. TW's population is mostly high-geared ones already. I also like the requirement of interest idea, however I'm not sure how one can pull that through painlessly. Additionally, think we should modify the requirements for these three only because else players might go there and use their extreme benefit to later on transfer here, avoiding our bizlik srv experience and go straight for the 80.

Just check for IP's if someone's IP is matching on new transfered chars with some chars that already exist on Truewow then dont accept/ban those applications.

I am not 100% sure yet but there might be a guild which is willing to join Truewow. Located on warmane.

Maybe, with this, we should reEnable character-deletion on origin realm too

Character deletion just gives players a reason to NOT want to come here. Most of the time it was never enforceable anyways.

I know the reasons behind the retirement, but taking the huge benefits we be giving these people I believe it'd be fair to our community in a way of its own too.

Transfers are still limited to THREE 1:1 transfers. I wouldn't really worry too much about people taking too much advantage.

People who abuse the system have a lot to lose - We will delete the transferred characters and probably temp/perma ban if the abuse was too blatant.

It is pretty certain the "bizlik srv experience and go straight for the 80" is the problem in the first place or TW wouldn't have this issue.

People simply don't want to do the boring grindey sh1t all over again in 2k17.

TW is a blizzlike server. To come and play here instead of a fun server means you do like to level up. To slowly grow from running from wolves untill all world becomes your playground. Sorry, we need all our server mates, but if leveling for you is a boring grindey shit, why do you play here anyway?
