I love the guild perks compared to the lame ones from WAR.

Even if it’s considered you need time to put in place all the back office changes for this. Which Wasd, talked about and I think they have been doing over the last few patches.

Just in case. You also have to come up with the right kind of content that will make the F2P.

However, once you go F2P + subscriptions mode, you can’t close that pandora’s box.

The problem is, this is PvP and all these people who “May” come to Warhammer because it’s a new F2P on the block, may well not hangaround, because you know what, they don’t like being killed. You’ve now a goodly portion of your player base, getting a free ride, because they know they like the game.

Lets be honest, how many of these players will enjoy having their face rubbed in the virtual dirt by the numbes of RR80+ we have now.

I think they may have been hinting at a F2p model with the whole account entitlement changes, and promises of more stuff to buy.

I tend to share your concerns.

I understand the thought process of “I shouldn’t have to pay to transfer off a dead server!” … and I agree.

That didnt’ stop me from being hypocritical and transferring Rik to Gorfang. All my alts were left on IR, but at least now there’s a bit more in the way of population. Hope to see some of you guys from JS soon, after merges!

I had JUST taken you off my roll because it had been about two months since your last post.

Back you go!

Comment on Paid transfers. Good option, but not a solution – Warhammer Online by Rikker

I gotta say that as far as paid server transfers go, $20 is not outrageous.

That said, I also agree that I will not be paying to move my characters off a dying server. I’m waiting to find out about any mergers/pop rebalancing that Mythic will do, rather than pay for something that will be happening in the not too distant future. (Well… It makes sense that it would be happening anyway… can’t always count on that I suppose).

Yeah, $20 is kind of ridiculous. But, people will pay it, after all I just did. I started off on Praag way back when, and then when that server got merged, on to Magnus. Same fate to that one, and ended up on Volkmar. Only problem was I had 6 or 7 characters to move. Lo and behold, I accidentally put one of my characters on Badlands by mistake (my slayer). Now he can finally be on my home server, and in my home guild. I’m happy about that, but still bitter that I had to pay $20 because I was too click-happy when transferring characters.
