Can I switch toon from blue to red server?

[bubur]

given the recent increase in xp, i suggest now is as good a time as ever to come check out what red has to offer. there should be a small boom of players in the low end

even if a program to transfer blue-> red were seriously considered, it would take months of planning and discussion and waiting to work out the details and get it implemented. if you want to play red you better just roll on over today

[bubur]

yeah.. i wouldnt roll a warrior unless you got some friends

I would help PL you real quick. You can get to level 30 with good PL in two to three hours.

[Faerie]

We're really lucky to have kind and helpful players like Heartbrand on red. I think it's what really distinguishes the two servers from one another.

Thanks for the offer Heartbrand, I would love a good PL to get me going. What times are you generally on?

Red players are against it because the dominant guild has strong ties to the blue server and would absorb the majority of transferred characters increasing the death grip they already have on the server

wut? almost everyone I know supports transfers

[mostbitter]

yeah cause you're in nihilum, the guild i was talking about. way to be obtuse

[Destan]

I just started up an emulated EQ server of my own with modified XP gains. The population was about the same as on Red anyway so I could barely tell the difference.

I couldn't blame Red players for not liking that idea. You'd have entire guild's come over to gank mobs when they got bored.

Blue > Red transfer just seems like a bad idea.

It's unfair to the people who have leveled already on red.

You could have a guild like TMO just transfer one set of alts (of which they have many) who are already VP geared simply to grief red's pve and pvp scene.


There's a million different problems that would come with a transfer like that. Not to mention the servers are completely different. A ton of the people who transfer would not like red after being on it for a while.

I see what you guys mean. All I was saying was that allowing a copy (not transfer) of one character would increase population. I also mentioned that it might be a good idea to have them copied without gear.

And yes, it would most definitely be unfair to those who have already leveled on red. However, it is also kind of unfair that they leveled on red and have such a low population.

Again, the main thing allowing a copy/transfer would do is increase population. With that would come good and bad. It's up to the red population and ultimately Nilbog et al. to decide what they want for the red server.
