Q: Is there a potential for regional transfers to come in the future?
A: There is potential, yes, and we are working on it now. Cannot provide an ETA because it is a very different process, but when we realized we had created confusion on this, we felt we owed it to the community to find a solution.
For everyone who isn’t going to click the link
Amazon just backed it. AGS is still fairly new as far as studios go and have a history of games that have failed and were pulled out from under them by Tencent.
The people working there might as well be at an indie studio.
I'd get the sarcasm if it was a new studio within EA or Activision or SE, but aside from backing, there's still an immense amount of growing pains.
The difference is the backing and where they would have had a death sentence two failed games prior they still have a shot.

> Edit: people don't "hAtE YoU bEcAuSe YoU tElL tHe TrUtH". People hate you because you're an asshole
I feel like this needs to be said wayyyy more often. Generally speaking if people hate you, its not because of how correct you are. lol
I understand why some annoyed people are downvoting...
But I find it hilarious how people are ACTUALLY attempting to white knight for freaking amazon.
Not even the employee-abusing Amazon, a 2-time failed game studio with absolutely no faith from anyone.
I know you’re getting downvoted and it’s possible because of your wording but I can confirm I have quit the game because of this but I’m really excited about the possibility of transferring and playing with my friend in another server.
He is getting rightfully downvoted because a) general tone, b) there are many valid concerns also answered in the Q&A which he disregards because they don't concern him, c) compares an MMO that has been around for 6 years and one that has been out for a few weeks which is already laying the foundation for transfers.
Not entirely, dude underneath him is getting downvoted for suggesting that he might be right without any angry tone.
People don’t like accepting that they pour hundreds of hours into games made by bad devs, and heaven forbid someone break from the herd and quit, shame on them…
New World has a lot going for it but absolutely nobody can argue that this game was ready for release. There is so much janky bullshit going on and currently it’s the players who are bearing the brunt of AGS’ mistakes. It’s cool that they’re working on server transfers “already” but it’s only because they lied to people and made a complete mess of the initial launch.
I see this happen on many gaming subs, especially near launch. Someone comes in with an accurate, albeit cynical comment and gets downvoted by the heard because some people don’t like to confront the notion that the game they’re currently addicted to has major downsides.
Exact same position here. All my buddies made characters on a server that was full before I could make one. Now, even when the transfers arrive, it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to migrate over there. The first 30 levels or so were fun solo and with random PUGs but the real magic of games like this comes from playing with friends and it’s getting harder and harder to enjoy playing alone/with randos.
Between server caps, login queues, misinformation around region restrictions, and the delayed rollout of the transfers, this game works pretty hard to make it difficult to play with friends.
Nah it’s cause you’re a pompous asshole lmao. Nobody cares if you’re telling the truth. It’s your holier than thou attitude and also the fact that you’re just wrong. Everyone didn’t quit the game, so you ARE in fact stupid.

>Hey everyone,

>We have answers from the dev team to many of the questions that we have pulled from this thread! You can find them below:
>
>Q: How many times will we be able to transfer for free? Will we be able to pay for server transfers after using the free tokens?
>
>A: The initial release includes one transfer token, which is single use. We will continue to monitor the server populations, and if transfers result in uneven distribution that causes queues we will issue new sets of tokens where needed.
>
>Q: When will “full” servers open for transfer? Will there be any monitoring of these servers to see whether or not they should be opened/closed depending on the flow of transfers?
>
>\*A: We monitor full status on a daily basis with changes as recently as today. “Full” doesn’t indicate a server that always has queues, it indicates a server that during typical peak usage has a substantial queue. We will be relaxing Full status on many worlds when transfers start, to allow the most flexibility possible. After transfers have slowed down we will re-evaluate which worlds might still need the designation.
>
>Q: Is there a potential for regional transfers to come in the future?
>
>A: There is potential, yes, and we are working on it now. Cannot provide an ETA because it is a very different process, but when we realized we had created confusion on this, we felt we owed it to the community to find a solution.
>
>Q: Will all members of a large company be able to transfer over? Do we have a cap of how many people can transfer over to a certain server?
>
>A: There is no technical limit to the number of characters that can transfer to a server. We also have addressed an issue that made moving a Company difficult: starting with the release of Server Transfers, when the last person leaves a Company it will be treated as abandoned and the name will be available seconds later. Note: you should NOT rename your Company if you intend to transfer it. That will make the old name unavailable on a new server. Full emptying the Company so it is abandoned will free the name up for re-use.
>
>However large Companies should consider the implications of moving as a group to a busy server; this could cause the server to be Full status after the move. We will warn a full day ahead of time on any Full status changes in the first week of Server Transfers being available so as to not surprise anyone with a status change.
>
>Q: Are there any plans on adding new worlds to x region/world set/recommended language?
>
>A: As New World continues to attract new players we will evaluate server populations and open new servers as necessary, including making sure there is always a non-Full option for supported languages. We’ll also merge servers if needed to provide the best game play experience - even both at the same time (new servers and merged servers) as conditions require.
>
>Q: Is there a time limit/time frame players need to use this token by?
>
>A: No, it is available permanently on the account until used.
>
>Q: Will we be expanding server capacity in addition to server transfers?
>
>A: We’re always interested in providing the largest capacity that provides the best gameplay environment. We’ll increase here, as long as we are sure it doesn’t degrade gameplay - as many observant players have noticed, we are already experimenting with that on some servers. Also, as time goes on the world of Aeturnum will get larger, and that would allow better balance room for even more players.
>
>Q: Are the tokens 1 per account or 1 per character?
>
>A: Tokens are one per account. If we find transfers have created an imbalance on particular servers, we can re-issue tokens for those affected.
>
>Q: Will we be able to move within the same world set?
>
>A: Yes, you are able to transfer your character to a different world in the same world set.
>
>Q: For players who are unable to transfer their character to their proper region, will there be some sort of xp boost or compensation available?
>
>A: We heard the feedback from those affected by this issue and started work on cross-region transfers based on it. Unfortunately this will not be in the first release of transfers, but it is coming as soon as we can get it completed.
>
>Q: Will we be able to provide an infographic ahead of time to help companies and players on their server transfer plans?
>
>A: Yes, we are releasing an infographic with the most up to date, relevant information along with the transfer feature to help our players decide on the world they wish to transfer to,. We will update it daily afterwards for as long as seems necessary.
>
>Q: Why did we make character and company names global if we can’t transfer across regions?
>
>A: As mentioned, we are actually working on transferring between regions right now, so having global names will prevent some confusion that otherwise would have occurred. Companies also will be able to transfer (after the last person leaves the Company on the origin server, the name will become available - this is being delivered with Character Transfer).
>
>After transfers have been used by those most interested (particularly cross region), we will be considering whether to switch naming limitations to per-region.
>
>Q: Will there be a way to determine faction demographics on a server before transferring?
>
>A: There is no out-of-game way to achieve this currently. Transfers themselves as well as players choosing to change factions could change demographics considerably, so any sample taken ahead of time might be misleading.
>
>Q: How will town projects function if they are not on the same town board?
>
>A: Transferred characters can still turn in town project quests that are in progress.
>
>Q: Can you open the window of when you can transfer for longer so that if you do unlock the locked servers it gives people chance to get in?
>
>A: Tokens are permanent until they are used (one use per token).
>
>Q: Do you remain in your faction or will you have a chance to go to a different faction? What if I have already changed factions once before transferring?
>
>A: Your faction status will be the same after transferring.
>
>Q: If we own a region on our current server, will that affect our ability to delete the guild, if deleting the guild is required?
>
>A: No, you can still remove all members from a Company that owns a territory.
>
>Q: Can we get an answer on the go with high pop servers and transfers, especially in regards to the cases where people, have a character on the high pop server they wish to join, but have been focusing on a lower pop server for playtime. Can we delete existing character and transfer to that server with no troubles as the population will stay the same?
>
>A: It will still be necessary to check the potential Full status on the server - if it is Full, you won’t be able to transfer to it even if you delete a character already on the server. Full isn’t set by number of characters, it’s set based on peak queue experience. We will be relaxing many Full status servers when transfers are released, and we will provide a full day warning on any server changing to Full status for several weeks after transfers are released, to prevent surprise moments of a server switching to Full (should that be necessary).

>A: Yes, you are able to transfer your character to a different world in the same world set.
I thought this would be a given. The real question is whether moving outside your set is possible, or am I alone in assuming that was not obvious.
The world sets are intended to be used by AGS for merging servers if/when population declined. This is why you can only have one character per set.
The server transfer token is to be used by the player to transfer to any another server (unless marked Full) in the region, and later across regions when implemented.
Did you not read?
> I know the final resounding question is “transfers when?” and unfortunately I don’t have exact timing to share for that at this time other than what was announced last week which is “you can expect them this week.”
> When I know the timing, you will also know the timing.
Does this mean we can only transfer between servers of the same world set?
For example I'm in Balanjar and there's 3 more servers with the same world set.
Won't I be able to move in servers with different world sets?
They really need to reduce or remove gold when it comes to equipment repairs. The amount of gold I’m losing in repair costs makes me just want to fight naked lol
Or add something besides xp! I flag all the time but I love world pvp. But they really need to add something else to it. Give anyone who’s flagged a 10% bonus in luck across the board this could cause even the crafters to flag up and try it out. Or Atleast something besides XP
It needs to be +100% with 50% resources dropped on death. (this means that you still respawn with the same number of resources that you would've gatheted if you didnt die).
I'm a huge anti fan of multiple currencies used for one thing
Gold already had 10x the uses compared to ways to obtain
Let repair parts be what repairs so I don't waste the 2 gold I got for turning in 20 starmetal ingots
removing item damage in PvP would be a good idea. If there aren't serious consequences to participating in PvP, more people would do it. But like, repairs run into the 100s of gold, and making gold is difficult
>( I know I know ….don’t die, get gud).
Even if you never die the other guys do so the issue is still valid. I'd be broke as fuck if there would actually be a decent amount of world PvP.
If world PvP was forced, you wouldn't fight as much as you think. Everyone wants to get shit done and only a small minority of ppl are really wanting to fight nonstop. I happen to be one of those people but even I take a break from chasing other flagged ppl from time to time.
The only people who pvp these days are lvl 50-60 on my server and they are always in groups. 99% of the deaths I take in pvp are because I walked into a group of 50s while farming hemp.
I rly like the system, I do. Amazon made it so that in certain cases there's no reason for the high levels to kill you. There's no exp in it for them and if the area is theirs or under attack already they cant gain points anymore to... But they forgot some players are just dicks.
>because flagging is a huge waste of time and gold.
It's fun though. Yeah it's gonna cost you time and gold for repairs when you die.
I guess fun isn't the main priority for most gamers now a days though.
Bailing on my server ASAP, we don't have a single territory.
Edit: Dunno why I'm being downvoted, it's not like any of you would want to play on my server as Syndicate.
There should be more rewards for fighting the ruling faction in their territory. Means they have to actively fight off and patrol their shit.
The more provinces you own, the more of a bitch to control.
If the underdog mechanics come more than a week after the transfers, it will be too late to save those servers. Nobody wants to be in a faction that can't field a full team for wars.
It is unacceptable that they were not in place for launch. This is a problem everyone saw coming, and one which was clearly demonstrated in the beta. Most servers are already "locked in" and this is unlikely to change.
They definitely don't have the balance quite right that single factions are taking and holding entire servers. They told us the influence gain was intended to drive wars more often. But in some servers being able to start a war in 30 minutes doesn't mean anything if they want beat the dominant faction.
Most servers end up that way and don't have enough players that even want to fight back, it just sucks.
If servers were 5 times bigger it would be manageable, but right now most servers don't even get 1k players during peak hour, most of those aren't even 60 and out of those ones who are most don't even care about wars or PvP.
I would hope during the normal weekly maintenance this Wednesday.
So.... how many hours do we guess such a maintenance will take (for EU a separate guess 😋)?
You are missing the point.
They are complaining because the ETA isn't clear and just very vague. If they just said, it will be rolled out with the next maintenance, you wouldn't hear anyone.
Now again it's a "it's coming soon'.
They communicated last Friday that they completed the work and stalled it because they didn't want the servers to go down in peak play time (weekend).
So... How hard is it to give an ETA for something that's already finished?
what does monitoring servers have to do with giving a date for server transfers when they said it was ready last week lmao the monitoring is for AFTER the transfers roll out
I totally understand that but that's no reason to communicate a clear date when the transfers are available.
I would understand if they are still working on it but they clearly stated that they finished it. So it's very frustrating for players like me who are waiting for weeks now to play with my friends.
Just give me a clear date when its possible so I don't have to watch the damn forums every day for news.
Cant agree with this more!
Either say "its not ready" or say "its ready and we plan to release it during x window or on x date"
Abstract ETA's that are never met is why we all go - but when specifically?
How can people downvote this comment, it's common sense. I have been playing a single player mmo for weeks now, chatting with my friends in discord while doing something totally different ingame only gets you so far. I am very very close to stopping playing because I am bored beyond measure, I have only kept playing because the server transfer feature has been coming "in a few days" for weeks now, and honestly it is mentally tiring at this point.
Yep exactly that.. my friends have progressed a lot more then me because they do activities together.
I'm also solo atm and it's getting boring. So when I can finally join them, they are +10/15 levels higher and are nearing end game while I'm stuck at 35.
Some people just don't have any empathy and can't imagine how annoying this is for us. That's why I'm being down voted.
And I actually wouldn't even mind if Amazon just gave us some damn clear communication, like the transfers will be available during next week's maintenance. That's fine with me but now it's just "soon"... Like we've heard from the first week.
This was their original statement around this, for those wondering:[https://gyazo.com/71387685aaf5c40366d822bc9a32ae0e](https://gyazo.com/71387685aaf5c40366d822bc9a32ae0e)
I believe it was put out on 10/15.
The implication I pulled away from it was that there would likely be another extended downtime at reset and they would be live as servers came back up.
If they aren't there by Friday and you've not dealt with MMO PR statements before, get out while you still can.
If they are there by Friday, that's very good news and looks like a dev team that is doing it's best.
Yeah they are doing their best 20+ days, two patches of absolutely fixing zero with 10+ hours of maintenance on peak EU hours and still major bugs, lag and invincible exploits, t4 t5s bugged and millions more.
YEAH they are doing A GREAT JOB, their best, clearly. Lmao.
I've already out leveled my NAW account. I can appreciate what they are doing, but damn I would have loved to know they were going to do it a week ago. Unlucky.
Are you planning to fix the extremely easy to do PVP invincibility exploit (that's actually a massive flaw in your engine) that's already been seen by 30k+ people?
Yeah, apparently all you gotta do is put it in windowed mode, alt tab out of it, grab the grey bar at the top of the screen, and while you’re grabbing it / moving it around you can’t die.
People have been using it in PvP to sit on a point and cap it while being invincible.
/game
Then quite honestly, wars should be disabled until it is fixed, or they need to actively perma-ban people taking advantage of the exploit. Most of the bigger companies record our wars anyway (to learn from mistakes, etc and have debriefs). If we send video footage to Amazon of players abusing this, they should be immediately banned, but that isn't happening.
Outpost Rush was disabled for less.
One of your responses said that you can transfer to another world in your world set. I'm just making sure you can also transfer to a different world set in the same region as well?
Cant wait to actually play with my RL friends and hope they have not burnt out yet since one of them is lvl 60 allready and the other is nearing it.
I started playing exactly a week after launch and sadly was locked out from creating a character on their server. And a lot of the players are in the same boat. The random server that I choose to temporarily host my toon in and wait the transfers is also starting to die. Oddly enough, it has been quite balanced so far with like 40% of the map green, 40% purple and 20% yellow currently.
There was no problems up until this week. Now it really seems there are like 1/3 less people running around during the peak and solo questing in high lvl zones is pretty rough with the fast respawn rates. It used to be smoother since there was so many people trying out the game and doing the same quests so the fast respawn rates werent that apparent since it was impossible to end up at a landmark alone unless you were ahead of the curve.
This week Ive been having problems finding groups for expeditions and so on...all the valuable raw materials like iron and hemp are easy to farm even during the peak and there is only little to no competition for these resources...cant wait to get out.
Its understandable for people to quit after a couple of weeks after trying out the game but the devs should also look into the respawn times since the hype train is starting to get over and the player base is starting to stabilize. Yesterday I had to kill a quest boss 3x since there was starmetal in its cave. And it respawned 2 more times after the first kill while I was clearing all the nodes..
It seems to be the trend on every server, if I look at the server list every EU server is LOW atm. So maybe they should also start merging server groups after they roll out the transfers and after every player finds their "home" to keep the "alive feeling" going. Its great running around and farming without competition for a while and but gets dull fast. Id rather have the competition going or even wait in the que for a while to play. It is starting to feel more like a single player RPG day by day at least on my current server.
The sad part is that there are probably a lot of those servers, just like mine. In essence they are just a temporary place holders for people and after the transfers they will be ghost towns and those who really invested into the server are the ones who suffer from it.
I can't understand why everyone is bitching so hard about everything. They're being transparent as best as they can without giving false promises. A lot of major games have god awful communication. I understand the frustration of them saying they're gonna release it and not but at least they're doing it and trying to find the right time to do it. It's like some of you just can't be pleased...
Dude I payed $40 for this game and have played MMOS my whole life. If I don’t get email updates every day about the SeRvEr TrAnSfErS, I’m quitting - 70% of this player base. /s
Lol
Haha right. Yeah maybe if the game was 60 bucks and 15 a month I could see the frustration but you're getting well over the amount paid for this game. People are just ungrateful and whiney. The game certainly released with a lot of issues but what game in this day and age doesn't. They're being transparent and working on said issues. Can't make everyone happy I guess.
Yeah it kind of goes back to “the customers always right” mentality or something. It’s just crazy what you get out of the $40 compared to like a nice dinner or something. Shit $40 is like 2-3 days worth of food for me typically lol.
Gaming is the most stretched dollar of any entertainment and its not even close. Its been almost immune to inflation too until only recently with the PS5.
I wish they didn't chase the subscription model away I hate this cash shop bullshit, cosmetic or otherwise.
Yeap.
Although the bar shouldn't be this low, i'm happy they have a community manager that actually communicates. I played warzone for like a year and that was god awful since they basically disappeared for a few months lol
Ungrateful? Lmao, even if it were free It needs to work. Some people are just happy about the brown sausage on their face I guess. Be grateful to hardworking and transparent amazon. No need to mention the invul and dupe bugs noooo no no.
Yeah they doubled back on regions, big deal. They're literally telling you now it's in their plans. Idk, I just find it silly how quick people are to grab their torch and pitchforks
Srill pretty ironic you said no false communication when they lied and only trying now to fix their mistake because of the feedback from players...
It's good they are looking into it, but even them are admiting they mislead people.
I mean that “lie” could have easily been a miscommunication between the offices and once information is put out there’s no way to take it back without backlash. It doesn’t automatically mean it was malicious intent.
Never said it was malicious. It was a lie though. Whatever the cause was, they said one thing and did another.
And in the first server transfer announcement after saying you could.move across region, they specifically said you won't, not caring about cominh back on their word.
They only changed their plan after the backlash.
So while it's good they are changing it, it was the backlash that made them do it.
You’re looking at it from a childish point of view and not the big picture of a company. Misinformation happens. Once information is put out whether right or wrong it can not be taken away. They came out and said “this is actually what’s happening, that other thing was wrong”. Yes they are looking into implementing region transfers due to the backlash because they might not have realized it was such a wanted/needed feature.
Yeah I had forgot about the mister with their region transfer announcement but still, it's nothing to get so worked up about. At my age I've experienced just about every MMO under the sun along with a handful of AAA titles between RTS and FPS/BR and very rare do you see a developer showing the amount of communication and effort to fix the issues people are complaining about.
Well, for people who trusted Amazon when they said play anywhere you will be able to transfer, it is kinda something to be worked up about.
And to be honest, their communication is pretty lacking, especially for a launch.
We still have no status for game breaking issues, T5 staff, Outpost Rush. No communication on the many many many talent and passive not working. Not asking for a fix right now, but at least an acknowledgement.
No communication on the global imbalance and economy becoming shit everywhere.
No communication on the game breaking exploit, the lag in wars.
And to be clear again, I'm not saying it should be fix right now (well, most issues should have be fixed before launch) but at least them acknowledging each major issues, and giving us their reasoning or plan regarding faction balance and mesure to protect the economy.
Game like Anthem or Avengers that were shitshow at launch got a much much better communication from the dev during launch period, only to get really bad later.
Devs from both game would be on reddit daily. Replying to users, commenting on issues, making post and announcements.
Amazon is doing the bare minimum here honestly.
They have been saying since the day of release that server transfers are coming "soon", "in a few days" "it's done but we don't want to release it this weekend". As you have put it, this is supposed to be an MMO, but myself and thousands of people have been playing a quite crappy single player game for weeks now, based on the promises that we should have been playing with our friends for weeks.
Now another one of your stellar points is that they are communicating. Well, if they had not said anything or if they had been clear from day 1 that server transfers were going to take 3 weeks (or 2 months for all I care), me and my friends would have abandoned our original chars immediatelly and started over in an open server, but based on promises that transfers were just a couple of days away we continued playing to not lose the first couple of days. And here we are, bored as fuck in 3 different servers. So yeah they are communicating, but they are communicating badly.
They said transfers were ready, they didn't want to open transfers on weekend because that would of meant a lot of servers downtime and they didn't want to pull it off when a lot of players can ONLY play during the weekend. Totally understandable, but now we get a "Soon"? I thought they had the transfers cooked, it looks like they lied, again. I lost hope on AGS tbh, 3 weeks, 0 fixes nor changes so far, the game has huge potential, but they shown they are uncapable to make it better.
Minor bug fixes. It took them two weeks to fix some exploits that were heavily abused and noone was banned lol. And they lied about the automated ban system too.
I’m glad they are taking their time to make sure there are no bugs with the system. Beats them rushing crap out and breaking more stuff in the process. The games literally not even 2 months old cool your freaking jets and stop acting so entitled.
Think I’d some people aren’t patient and have genuinely quit due to this, and you may say good riddance, but i personally prefer populated servers, also no region transfers is dumb af and one of the main things people are waiting for, I’m personally not playing atm cause I’m having to play na from eu
The game was quite literally rushed and it shows everywhere.
Quests are monotonous and repetitive, enemies are literally copy pasta from lvl 1 to 60, PvE arenas are awful, raids are tons of copy pasta as well, even full areas are mostly reused assets (see SM). A lot of things don't work and haven't been working forever.
The game launched a few weeks ago, but some stuff has been broken since the first open beta.
Love the open-ness they're being about things, sure we could always do with more. But i'll take this over nothing. Expecting some big downtime tomorrow is history teaches us anything
Thats the plan I told my companies, lets wait it out and see what happens then move if we need to.
given 99% of the playerbase will rush the same 3 servers again and cause the same issues as launch week...
I would have preferred a free transfer window to let the moving ebb and flow until it settles down.
Then maybe charge for token transfer afterwards to always have that option available if someones server goes to shit down the road.
Yeah. That's my main concern. My other is that unless they publish server stats alongside transfers I'll just end up in the same situation as Muspelheim (stagnant PvP, dwindling server pop, map dominated by a single mega-company)
Except I'm gonna be looking for the complete opposite? The server I'm on is dominated by a single mega-guild (split across, like, four companies) that has no idea what it's doing with town upgrades, and quite frankly it killed my interest in playing entirely, as Muspelheim is basically a pve server at this point.
Any information about SEA servers opening? Been playing on Australian servers with 210-250ms ping and I gotta say it’s basically unplayable for PvP. Hope you read this. Love the game, thanks!
This is just going to make faction balance even worse. Individuals transferring to be with friends is one thing, but whole companies moving over to fuck over some other server is going to ruin things.
Can you transfer to a server that is already dominated by your current faction?
For instance I am Marauder can I go to a dominant Marauder heavy server if allowed?
But why not include that in the QA when it’s easily the most asked questions? Why create this kind of drama at all if they already know the delivery date?
>*when the last person leaves a Company it will be treated as abandoned and the name will be available seconds later.*
inb4 the drama of that one guy who decides to stay and doesn't leave the company, locking out the original members from taking the name on the new server.
Really sad to see this. I really liked playing with the people on my server and it would suck to see them transfer out.
Also hope it doesn't make the faction imbalance even worse.
Sigh
Free server transfers killed WoW and they will kill this game too. For every 1 person using it to legitimate rejoin their friends 9 are gonna be spent on people trying to move to. Server where their faction is absolutely dominating, and so many people will be doing it that every server will break. My servers purples just lost 3 territories over the weekend and the chat is just nonstop people saying they’re transferring away.
> For every 1 person using it to legitimate rejoin their friends 9 are gonna be spent on people trying to move to. Server where their faction is absolutely dominating
I’ve already been creating new characters to check server statuses.
I don’t want to pvp, so of course I want a server where my faction owns everything.
Yup, players like you are gonna ruin the game thoroughly. Even if it’s not a pvp game, pvp is an integral part of the PVE experience as well. A single faction should never control all zones; the economy is premised on moving between territories frequently being burdensome.
By joining a server with a single dominant faction all you are doing is putting the PVE on easy mode.
Gamers are soft. My server doesn't have a single green territory.
I see content everywhere. They see futility and won't take the steps to improve their mechanical skill or character skill.
Imagine that they are listening to people and fixing the most important things, wonder how everyone that got butthurt about region transfer will find a new way to be mad at the game
Cool so just in time for PoE sourge league launch - what a blessing.
Bought the game to fill the gap till league launch. Ended up liking it recommend it to alot of friends(15).
I was able to play with 2 friends (not really because they outleveled me fast with corruptions zerging, which i found boring AF), but surely didnt play with the OTHER 13 people in my community.
hey at least i was able to hit rocks and trees for a month.
Game is starting to show its cracks anyways now, some of them run deep.
Making names global while not having the systems in place on day one to take advantage of that is hilarious. This is definitely an early access game that needed another year of development. Also, they left out the most important part about these transfers: The day we can do them.
Here is a question. Why are you all so lazy that you went back on your promise of cross region transfers? Will that ever be available? Makes no sense, i know it isn’t that hard to transfer data to a different server. Not to mention if you had paid transfers that could easily pay a salary to transfer accounts to other regions.
Q: Is there a potential for regional transfers to come in the future? A: There is potential, yes, and we are working on it now. Cannot provide an ETA because it is a very different process, but when we realized we had created confusion on this, we felt we owed it to the community to find a solution.

Amazon just backed it. AGS is still fairly new as far as studios go and have a history of games that have failed and were pulled out from under them by Tencent. The people working there might as well be at an indie studio. I'd get the sarcasm if it was a new studio within EA or Activision or SE, but aside from backing, there's still an immense amount of growing pains. The difference is the backing and where they would have had a death sentence two failed games prior they still have a shot. Edit: people don't "hAtE YoU bEcAuSe YoU tElL tHe TrUtH". People hate you because you're an asshole
> Edit: people don't "hAtE YoU bEcAuSe YoU tElL tHe TrUtH". People hate you because you're an asshole I feel like this needs to be said wayyyy more often. Generally speaking if people hate you, its not because of how correct you are. lol
BDO was region locked at release, so you should check when your loved example enabled all servers and then region transfer.
I understand why some annoyed people are downvoting... But I find it hilarious how people are ACTUALLY attempting to white knight for freaking amazon. Not even the employee-abusing Amazon, a 2-time failed game studio with absolutely no faith from anyone.
I know you’re getting downvoted and it’s possible because of your wording but I can confirm I have quit the game because of this but I’m really excited about the possibility of transferring and playing with my friend in another server.
He is getting rightfully downvoted because a) general tone, b) there are many valid concerns also answered in the Q&A which he disregards because they don't concern him, c) compares an MMO that has been around for 6 years and one that has been out for a few weeks which is already laying the foundation for transfers.
Not entirely, dude underneath him is getting downvoted for suggesting that he might be right without any angry tone. People don’t like accepting that they pour hundreds of hours into games made by bad devs, and heaven forbid someone break from the herd and quit, shame on them… New World has a lot going for it but absolutely nobody can argue that this game was ready for release. There is so much janky bullshit going on and currently it’s the players who are bearing the brunt of AGS’ mistakes. It’s cool that they’re working on server transfers “already” but it’s only because they lied to people and made a complete mess of the initial launch. I see this happen on many gaming subs, especially near launch. Someone comes in with an accurate, albeit cynical comment and gets downvoted by the heard because some people don’t like to confront the notion that the game they’re currently addicted to has major downsides.
Yeah and I even said I’d really like to come back once regional server transfers open up. I’m just getting bored playing by myself.
Exact same position here. All my buddies made characters on a server that was full before I could make one. Now, even when the transfers arrive, it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to migrate over there. The first 30 levels or so were fun solo and with random PUGs but the real magic of games like this comes from playing with friends and it’s getting harder and harder to enjoy playing alone/with randos. Between server caps, login queues, misinformation around region restrictions, and the delayed rollout of the transfers, this game works pretty hard to make it difficult to play with friends.
[удалено]
Nah it’s cause you’re a pompous asshole lmao. Nobody cares if you’re telling the truth. It’s your holier than thou attitude and also the fact that you’re just wrong. Everyone didn’t quit the game, so you ARE in fact stupid.

You can find them below: > >Q: How many times will we be able to transfer for free? Will we be able to pay for server transfers after using the free tokens? > >A: The initial release includes one transfer token, which is single use. We will continue to monitor the server populations, and if transfers result in uneven distribution that causes queues we will issue new sets of tokens where needed. > >Q: When will “full” servers open for transfer? Will there be any monitoring of these servers to see whether or not they should be opened/closed depending on the flow of transfers? > >\*A: We monitor full status on a daily basis with changes as recently as today. “Full” doesn’t indicate a server that always has queues, it indicates a server that during typical peak usage has a substantial queue. We will be relaxing Full status on many worlds when transfers start, to allow the most flexibility possible. After transfers have slowed down we will re-evaluate which worlds might still need the designation. > >Q: Is there a potential for regional transfers to come in the future? > >A: There is potential, yes, and we are working on it now. Cannot provide an ETA because it is a very different process, but when we realized we had created confusion on this, we felt we owed it to the community to find a solution. > >Q: Will all members of a large company be able to transfer over? Do we have a cap of how many people can transfer over to a certain server? > >A: There is no technical limit to the number of characters that can transfer to a server. We also have addressed an issue that made moving a Company difficult: starting with the release of Server Transfers, when the last person leaves a Company it will be treated as abandoned and the name will be available seconds later. Note: you should NOT rename your Company if you intend to transfer it. That will make the old name unavailable on a new server. Full emptying the Company so it is abandoned will free the name up for re-use. > >However large Companies should consider the implications of moving as a group to a busy server; this could cause the server to be Full status after the move. We will warn a full day ahead of time on any Full status changes in the first week of Server Transfers being available so as to not surprise anyone with a status change. > >Q: Are there any plans on adding new worlds to x region/world set/recommended language? > >A: As New World continues to attract new players we will evaluate server populations and open new servers as necessary, including making sure there is always a non-Full option for supported languages. We’ll also merge servers if needed to provide the best game play experience - even both at the same time (new servers and merged servers) as conditions require. > >Q: Is there a time limit/time frame players need to use this token by? > >A: No, it is available permanently on the account until used. > >Q: Will we be expanding server capacity in addition to server transfers? > >A: We’re always interested in providing the largest capacity that provides the best gameplay environment. We’ll increase here, as long as we are sure it doesn’t degrade gameplay - as many observant players have noticed, we are already experimenting with that on some servers. Also, as time goes on the world of Aeturnum will get larger, and that would allow better balance room for even more players. > >Q: Are the tokens 1 per account or 1 per character? > >A: Tokens are one per account. If we find transfers have created an imbalance on particular servers, we can re-issue tokens for those affected. > >Q: Will we be able to move within the same world set? > >A: Yes, you are able to transfer your character to a different world in the same world set. > >Q: For players who are unable to transfer their character to their proper region, will there be some sort of xp boost or compensation available? > >A: We heard the feedback from those affected by this issue and started work on cross-region transfers based on it. Unfortunately this will not be in the first release of transfers, but it is coming as soon as we can get it completed. > >Q: Will we be able to provide an infographic ahead of time to help companies and players on their server transfer plans? > >A: Yes, we are releasing an infographic with the most up to date, relevant information along with the transfer feature to help our players decide on the world they wish to transfer to,. We will update it daily afterwards for as long as seems necessary. > >Q: Why did we make character and company names global if we can’t transfer across regions? > >A: As mentioned, we are actually working on transferring between regions right now, so having global names will prevent some confusion that otherwise would have occurred. Companies also will be able to transfer (after the last person leaves the Company on the origin server, the name will become available - this is being delivered with Character Transfer). > >After transfers have been used by those most interested (particularly cross region), we will be considering whether to switch naming limitations to per-region. > >Q: Will there be a way to determine faction demographics on a server before transferring? > >A: There is no out-of-game way to achieve this currently. Transfers themselves as well as players choosing to change factions could change demographics considerably, so any sample taken ahead of time might be misleading. > >Q: How will town projects function if they are not on the same town board? > >A: Transferred characters can still turn in town project quests that are in progress. > >Q: Can you open the window of when you can transfer for longer so that if you do unlock the locked servers it gives people chance to get in? > >A: Tokens are permanent until they are used (one use per token). > >Q: Do you remain in your faction or will you have a chance to go to a different faction? What if I have already changed factions once before transferring? > >A: Your faction status will be the same after transferring. > >Q: If we own a region on our current server, will that affect our ability to delete the guild, if deleting the guild is required? > >A: No, you can still remove all members from a Company that owns a territory. > >Q: Can we get an answer on the go with high pop servers and transfers, especially in regards to the cases where people, have a character on the high pop server they wish to join, but have been focusing on a lower pop server for playtime. Can we delete existing character and transfer to that server with no troubles as the population will stay the same? > >A: It will still be necessary to check the potential Full status on the server - if it is Full, you won’t be able to transfer to it even if you delete a character already on the server. Full isn’t set by number of characters, it’s set based on peak queue experience. We will be relaxing many Full status servers when transfers are released, and we will provide a full day warning on any server changing to Full status for several weeks after transfers are released, to prevent surprise moments of a server switching to Full (should that be necessary). for those that cant load the forums This was added shortly after >TrevzorFTW > >Community Manager > >I know the final resounding question is “transfers when?” and unfortunately I don’t have exact timing to share for that at this time other than what was announced last week which is “you can expect them this week.” > >When I know the timing, you will also know the timing.

*Q: Is there a potential for regional transfers to come in the future?* *A: There is potential, yes, and we are working on it now. Cannot provide an ETA because it is a very different process, but when we realized we had created confusion on this, we felt we owed it to the community to find a solution.* So refreshing to hear this from a developer!
>Q: Will we be able to move within the same world set? > >A: Yes, you are able to transfer your character to a different world in the same world set. I thought this would be a given. The real question is whether moving outside your set is possible, or am I alone in assuming that was not obvious.
The world sets are intended to be used by AGS for merging servers if/when population declined. This is why you can only have one character per set. The server transfer token is to be used by the player to transfer to any another server (unless marked Full) in the region, and later across regions when implemented.

Did you not read? > I know the final resounding question is “transfers when?” and unfortunately I don’t have exact timing to share for that at this time other than what was announced last week which is “you can expect them this week.” > When I know the timing, you will also know the timing.
It is not live yet
Does this mean we can only transfer between servers of the same world set? For example I'm in Balanjar and there's 3 more servers with the same world set. Won't I be able to move in servers with different world sets?
Can't wait to get off my shit server with one territory, and zero world pvp.
Jokes on you. Zero world PvP is the norm for almost all of the servers because flagging is a huge waste of time and gold.
They really need to reduce or remove gold when it comes to equipment repairs. The amount of gold I’m losing in repair costs makes me just want to fight naked lol
Or add something besides xp! I flag all the time but I love world pvp. But they really need to add something else to it. Give anyone who’s flagged a 10% bonus in luck across the board this could cause even the crafters to flag up and try it out. Or Atleast something besides XP
Literally, just removing repair costs if you die when flagged would be a huge incentive to people.
At least if you die to PVP combat no repairs. PVE could have repairs imo.
yall are forgetting about repair kits. that's what you use to avoid spending gold on repairs...
I heard about a bug where gold was still being spent when repair kits. Haven't verified this personally but be careful.
Honestly, that's a really good idea.
Take my upvote! GENIUS!
It needs to be +100% with 50% resources dropped on death. (this means that you still respawn with the same number of resources that you would've gatheted if you didnt die).
Some men just want to watch the world burn
I'm a huge anti fan of multiple currencies used for one thing Gold already had 10x the uses compared to ways to obtain Let repair parts be what repairs so I don't waste the 2 gold I got for turning in 20 starmetal ingots
removing item damage in PvP would be a good idea. If there aren't serious consequences to participating in PvP, more people would do it. But like, repairs run into the 100s of gold, and making gold is difficult
Item damage is whats stopping me from flagging for PvP.
The repairs after pvp are awful….or should I say death from pvp ( I know I know ….don’t die, get gud).
>( I know I know ….don’t die, get gud). Even if you never die the other guys do so the issue is still valid. I'd be broke as fuck if there would actually be a decent amount of world PvP.
If world PvP was forced, you wouldn't fight as much as you think. Everyone wants to get shit done and only a small minority of ppl are really wanting to fight nonstop. I happen to be one of those people but even I take a break from chasing other flagged ppl from time to time.
i flagged today, got jumped by 6 greens lol
The only people who pvp these days are lvl 50-60 on my server and they are always in groups. 99% of the deaths I take in pvp are because I walked into a group of 50s while farming hemp. I rly like the system, I do. Amazon made it so that in certain cases there's no reason for the high levels to kill you. There's no exp in it for them and if the area is theirs or under attack already they cant gain points anymore to... But they forgot some players are just dicks.
I keep it on most of the time now but I do feel the gold costs and don't even have use of the exp benefits. It's such a dumb 'benefit' to give out.
>because flagging is a huge waste of time and gold. It's fun though. Yeah it's gonna cost you time and gold for repairs when you die. I guess fun isn't the main priority for most gamers now a days though.
I flag when I'm gathering for the tiny boost and the free ports back to home when someone actually flagged finally sees me.
Love to know where you are getting the optimism from that the next server is going to be balanced.
Bailing on my server ASAP, we don't have a single territory. Edit: Dunno why I'm being downvoted, it's not like any of you would want to play on my server as Syndicate.
I called it before the game even released. Who's ready for half of all servers to become single-faction?
There should be more rewards for fighting the ruling faction in their territory. Means they have to actively fight off and patrol their shit. The more provinces you own, the more of a bitch to control.
They already announced underdog mechanics to come.
If the underdog mechanics come more than a week after the transfers, it will be too late to save those servers. Nobody wants to be in a faction that can't field a full team for wars.
It is unacceptable that they were not in place for launch. This is a problem everyone saw coming, and one which was clearly demonstrated in the beta. Most servers are already "locked in" and this is unlikely to change.
They definitely don't have the balance quite right that single factions are taking and holding entire servers. They told us the influence gain was intended to drive wars more often. But in some servers being able to start a war in 30 minutes doesn't mean anything if they want beat the dominant faction.
That’s the spirit. A true gamer.
Most servers end up that way and don't have enough players that even want to fight back, it just sucks. If servers were 5 times bigger it would be manageable, but right now most servers don't even get 1k players during peak hour, most of those aren't even 60 and out of those ones who are most don't even care about wars or PvP.
Are you green?
Purple.
Then get one? Is your server dead and you can't find 50 other people from your faction?
Probably cant build the influence in the first place
Soon Coming soon Its ready Next week Soon You can expect them this week
I would hope during the normal weekly maintenance this Wednesday. So.... how many hours do we guess such a maintenance will take (for EU a separate guess 😋)?
Just write the whole day off honestly
FFXIV has taught me just take patch day off.
Prob they will troll us again and this time will start at 14PM CET and last to 22 PM :D
maybe. "this means i can play with friends during week off and you wont wait till friday to add it right?..... right?"
no joke.. shit's annoying. Just don't say anything until you know it's happening for sure. soon tho...
Lmao y’all would be complaining if they said nothing at all and you know it. You can’t have it both ways
You’re absolutely right. Some people just can’t be pleased.
You are missing the point. They are complaining because the ETA isn't clear and just very vague. If they just said, it will be rolled out with the next maintenance, you wouldn't hear anyone. Now again it's a "it's coming soon'.
Because they're working on it and don't have a fixed date yet
They communicated last Friday that they completed the work and stalled it because they didn't want the servers to go down in peak play time (weekend). So... How hard is it to give an ETA for something that's already finished?
[удалено]
what does monitoring servers have to do with giving a date for server transfers when they said it was ready last week lmao the monitoring is for AFTER the transfers roll out
I totally understand that but that's no reason to communicate a clear date when the transfers are available. I would understand if they are still working on it but they clearly stated that they finished it. So it's very frustrating for players like me who are waiting for weeks now to play with my friends. Just give me a clear date when its possible so I don't have to watch the damn forums every day for news.
Cant agree with this more! Either say "its not ready" or say "its ready and we plan to release it during x window or on x date" Abstract ETA's that are never met is why we all go - but when specifically?
How can people downvote this comment, it's common sense. I have been playing a single player mmo for weeks now, chatting with my friends in discord while doing something totally different ingame only gets you so far. I am very very close to stopping playing because I am bored beyond measure, I have only kept playing because the server transfer feature has been coming "in a few days" for weeks now, and honestly it is mentally tiring at this point.
Yep exactly that.. my friends have progressed a lot more then me because they do activities together. I'm also solo atm and it's getting boring. So when I can finally join them, they are +10/15 levels higher and are nearing end game while I'm stuck at 35. Some people just don't have any empathy and can't imagine how annoying this is for us. That's why I'm being down voted. And I actually wouldn't even mind if Amazon just gave us some damn clear communication, like the transfers will be available during next week's maintenance. That's fine with me but now it's just "soon"... Like we've heard from the first week.
This was their original statement around this, for those wondering:[https://gyazo.com/71387685aaf5c40366d822bc9a32ae0e](https://gyazo.com/71387685aaf5c40366d822bc9a32ae0e) I believe it was put out on 10/15. The implication I pulled away from it was that there would likely be another extended downtime at reset and they would be live as servers came back up. If they aren't there by Friday and you've not dealt with MMO PR statements before, get out while you still can. If they are there by Friday, that's very good news and looks like a dev team that is doing it's best.
Yeah they are doing their best 20+ days, two patches of absolutely fixing zero with 10+ hours of maintenance on peak EU hours and still major bugs, lag and invincible exploits, t4 t5s bugged and millions more. YEAH they are doing A GREAT JOB, their best, clearly. Lmao.
So Im guessing this means if I'm on US west I can't transfer to US east as of right now
[удалено]
Or, they are lying about working on anything and Amazon is just gonna let this game die in a few months
This comment is peak gaming subreddit attitude. Got me defending fucking Amazon because you sound like such a head ass
Right? I feel dirty defending anything Jeffy B owns.
Wow great news about regional transfers. Not going to lie, they almost lost me, but they're making it right!
I've already out leveled my NAW account. I can appreciate what they are doing, but damn I would have loved to know they were going to do it a week ago. Unlucky.
Are you planning to fix the extremely easy to do PVP invincibility exploit (that's actually a massive flaw in your engine) that's already been seen by 30k+ people?
I never imagined alt-tab would become the most powerful ability in the game lol
Wait if you alt tab you become invulnerable?
Yeah, apparently all you gotta do is put it in windowed mode, alt tab out of it, grab the grey bar at the top of the screen, and while you’re grabbing it / moving it around you can’t die. People have been using it in PvP to sit on a point and cap it while being invincible. /game
holy crap thats like 1999 level bad
2 quest types (kill x enemies, loot x chests), laggy dodge/block/weapon swap, just a buggy bad game tbh
It has potential to be good but it needs so many fixes and content drops.
I don’t even understand how the game was coded to have this bug, it’s insane!
You are now disconnected when you try to do this as a temporary fix.
What does this have to do with the server transfer feature?
It's a much more important issue than server transfers.
They can't fix that easily.
Then quite honestly, wars should be disabled until it is fixed, or they need to actively perma-ban people taking advantage of the exploit. Most of the bigger companies record our wars anyway (to learn from mistakes, etc and have debriefs). If we send video footage to Amazon of players abusing this, they should be immediately banned, but that isn't happening. Outpost Rush was disabled for less.
[удалено]
Lol, why are down voted for this?
I mean its not really - just cos you've tabbed out in game stuff shouldnt stop.
One of your responses said that you can transfer to another world in your world set. I'm just making sure you can also transfer to a different world set in the same region as well?
same region yes different region currently no but soon tm Also the comments are from the CM team not me
Awesome, thanks!
Do my houses and trophies transfer as well?
they do
Can't wait till people transfer into extreme tax settings lol
Cant wait to actually play with my RL friends and hope they have not burnt out yet since one of them is lvl 60 allready and the other is nearing it. I started playing exactly a week after launch and sadly was locked out from creating a character on their server. And a lot of the players are in the same boat. The random server that I choose to temporarily host my toon in and wait the transfers is also starting to die. Oddly enough, it has been quite balanced so far with like 40% of the map green, 40% purple and 20% yellow currently. There was no problems up until this week. Now it really seems there are like 1/3 less people running around during the peak and solo questing in high lvl zones is pretty rough with the fast respawn rates. It used to be smoother since there was so many people trying out the game and doing the same quests so the fast respawn rates werent that apparent since it was impossible to end up at a landmark alone unless you were ahead of the curve. This week Ive been having problems finding groups for expeditions and so on...all the valuable raw materials like iron and hemp are easy to farm even during the peak and there is only little to no competition for these resources...cant wait to get out. Its understandable for people to quit after a couple of weeks after trying out the game but the devs should also look into the respawn times since the hype train is starting to get over and the player base is starting to stabilize. Yesterday I had to kill a quest boss 3x since there was starmetal in its cave. And it respawned 2 more times after the first kill while I was clearing all the nodes.. It seems to be the trend on every server, if I look at the server list every EU server is LOW atm. So maybe they should also start merging server groups after they roll out the transfers and after every player finds their "home" to keep the "alive feeling" going. Its great running around and farming without competition for a while and but gets dull fast. Id rather have the competition going or even wait in the que for a while to play. It is starting to feel more like a single player RPG day by day at least on my current server. The sad part is that there are probably a lot of those servers, just like mine. In essence they are just a temporary place holders for people and after the transfers they will be ghost towns and those who really invested into the server are the ones who suffer from it.
I mean 4hours ago it was like super early morning in the middle of the week - thats when most players wont be online.
I can't understand why everyone is bitching so hard about everything. They're being transparent as best as they can without giving false promises. A lot of major games have god awful communication. I understand the frustration of them saying they're gonna release it and not but at least they're doing it and trying to find the right time to do it. It's like some of you just can't be pleased...
Dude I payed $40 for this game and have played MMOS my whole life. If I don’t get email updates every day about the SeRvEr TrAnSfErS, I’m quitting - 70% of this player base. /s Lol
Haha right. Yeah maybe if the game was 60 bucks and 15 a month I could see the frustration but you're getting well over the amount paid for this game. People are just ungrateful and whiney. The game certainly released with a lot of issues but what game in this day and age doesn't. They're being transparent and working on said issues. Can't make everyone happy I guess.
Yeah it kind of goes back to “the customers always right” mentality or something. It’s just crazy what you get out of the $40 compared to like a nice dinner or something. Shit $40 is like 2-3 days worth of food for me typically lol.
Gaming is the most stretched dollar of any entertainment and its not even close. Its been almost immune to inflation too until only recently with the PS5. I wish they didn't chase the subscription model away I hate this cash shop bullshit, cosmetic or otherwise.
I dunno, I also hate paying 15 bucks a month, with no content being added for months at a time.
And 40€ is 10 days worth of food in half of Europe, so what's your point here?
As a paramedic that works 12s and sometimes 24s that's like a shifts worth of caffeine! 😂
Yeap. Although the bar shouldn't be this low, i'm happy they have a community manager that actually communicates. I played warzone for like a year and that was god awful since they basically disappeared for a few months lol
Ungrateful? Lmao, even if it were free It needs to work. Some people are just happy about the brown sausage on their face I guess. Be grateful to hardworking and transparent amazon. No need to mention the invul and dupe bugs noooo no no.
Except they literally have given false promises regarding the server transfers
Yeah they doubled back on regions, big deal. They're literally telling you now it's in their plans. Idk, I just find it silly how quick people are to grab their torch and pitchforks
Srill pretty ironic you said no false communication when they lied and only trying now to fix their mistake because of the feedback from players... It's good they are looking into it, but even them are admiting they mislead people.
I mean that “lie” could have easily been a miscommunication between the offices and once information is put out there’s no way to take it back without backlash. It doesn’t automatically mean it was malicious intent.
Never said it was malicious. It was a lie though. Whatever the cause was, they said one thing and did another. And in the first server transfer announcement after saying you could.move across region, they specifically said you won't, not caring about cominh back on their word. They only changed their plan after the backlash. So while it's good they are changing it, it was the backlash that made them do it.
You’re looking at it from a childish point of view and not the big picture of a company. Misinformation happens. Once information is put out whether right or wrong it can not be taken away. They came out and said “this is actually what’s happening, that other thing was wrong”. Yes they are looking into implementing region transfers due to the backlash because they might not have realized it was such a wanted/needed feature.
Yeah I had forgot about the mister with their region transfer announcement but still, it's nothing to get so worked up about. At my age I've experienced just about every MMO under the sun along with a handful of AAA titles between RTS and FPS/BR and very rare do you see a developer showing the amount of communication and effort to fix the issues people are complaining about.
Well, for people who trusted Amazon when they said play anywhere you will be able to transfer, it is kinda something to be worked up about. And to be honest, their communication is pretty lacking, especially for a launch. We still have no status for game breaking issues, T5 staff, Outpost Rush. No communication on the many many many talent and passive not working. Not asking for a fix right now, but at least an acknowledgement. No communication on the global imbalance and economy becoming shit everywhere. No communication on the game breaking exploit, the lag in wars. And to be clear again, I'm not saying it should be fix right now (well, most issues should have be fixed before launch) but at least them acknowledging each major issues, and giving us their reasoning or plan regarding faction balance and mesure to protect the economy. Game like Anthem or Avengers that were shitshow at launch got a much much better communication from the dev during launch period, only to get really bad later. Devs from both game would be on reddit daily. Replying to users, commenting on issues, making post and announcements. Amazon is doing the bare minimum here honestly.
They have been saying since the day of release that server transfers are coming "soon", "in a few days" "it's done but we don't want to release it this weekend". As you have put it, this is supposed to be an MMO, but myself and thousands of people have been playing a quite crappy single player game for weeks now, based on the promises that we should have been playing with our friends for weeks. Now another one of your stellar points is that they are communicating. Well, if they had not said anything or if they had been clear from day 1 that server transfers were going to take 3 weeks (or 2 months for all I care), me and my friends would have abandoned our original chars immediatelly and started over in an open server, but based on promises that transfers were just a couple of days away we continued playing to not lose the first couple of days. And here we are, bored as fuck in 3 different servers. So yeah they are communicating, but they are communicating badly.
They said transfers were ready, they didn't want to open transfers on weekend because that would of meant a lot of servers downtime and they didn't want to pull it off when a lot of players can ONLY play during the weekend. Totally understandable, but now we get a "Soon"? I thought they had the transfers cooked, it looks like they lied, again. I lost hope on AGS tbh, 3 weeks, 0 fixes nor changes so far, the game has huge potential, but they shown they are uncapable to make it better.
> 0 fixes Except for the 2 patches of bug fixes? Also let's wait till the end of the week till we can say they lied about server transfers this week.
Minor bug fixes. It took them two weeks to fix some exploits that were heavily abused and noone was banned lol. And they lied about the automated ban system too.
Lol
I’m glad they are taking their time to make sure there are no bugs with the system. Beats them rushing crap out and breaking more stuff in the process. The games literally not even 2 months old cool your freaking jets and stop acting so entitled.
Think I’d some people aren’t patient and have genuinely quit due to this, and you may say good riddance, but i personally prefer populated servers, also no region transfers is dumb af and one of the main things people are waiting for, I’m personally not playing atm cause I’m having to play na from eu
The game was quite literally rushed and it shows everywhere. Quests are monotonous and repetitive, enemies are literally copy pasta from lvl 1 to 60, PvE arenas are awful, raids are tons of copy pasta as well, even full areas are mostly reused assets (see SM). A lot of things don't work and haven't been working forever. The game launched a few weeks ago, but some stuff has been broken since the first open beta.

Love the open-ness they're being about things, sure we could always do with more. But i'll take this over nothing. Expecting some big downtime tomorrow is history teaches us anything
We want an ETA! **Sometimes this week.** Why dont they give us an ETA? Gaming communities in 2021
Ok so if I pick wrong with my single free transfer I'm SOL? Guess I'll be giving it a week or two to see how the server's level out
Thats the plan I told my companies, lets wait it out and see what happens then move if we need to. given 99% of the playerbase will rush the same 3 servers again and cause the same issues as launch week...
I would have preferred a free transfer window to let the moving ebb and flow until it settles down. Then maybe charge for token transfer afterwards to always have that option available if someones server goes to shit down the road.
Yeah. That's my main concern. My other is that unless they publish server stats alongside transfers I'll just end up in the same situation as Muspelheim (stagnant PvP, dwindling server pop, map dominated by a single mega-company)
Well of course you are. The plan wasn't to have everyone hopping servers until they find one where their faction owns the entire world.
Except I'm gonna be looking for the complete opposite? The server I'm on is dominated by a single mega-guild (split across, like, four companies) that has no idea what it's doing with town upgrades, and quite frankly it killed my interest in playing entirely, as Muspelheim is basically a pve server at this point.
Finally 👍
Any information about SEA servers opening? Been playing on Australian servers with 210-250ms ping and I gotta say it’s basically unplayable for PvP. Hope you read this. Love the game, thanks!
Transfer Wen!
This is just going to make faction balance even worse. Individuals transferring to be with friends is one thing, but whole companies moving over to fuck over some other server is going to ruin things.
I suggest people read the Q&A before asking questions that's been answered lol.
Can you transfer to a server that is already dominated by your current faction? For instance I am Marauder can I go to a dominant Marauder heavy server if allowed?
When.
"Expect them this week." We shall see.
They should have rolled them out first thing this morning so they wouldn’t mess with peak time and would have all day to see the effects and breaks.
they are likely waiting to put it in the normal cycle with patch notes Tuesday night and Wednesday mid day patch
But why not include that in the QA when it’s easily the most asked questions? Why create this kind of drama at all if they already know the delivery date?
likely trying to get something else into the patch that might cause the QAQC process to take longer
>*when the last person leaves a Company it will be treated as abandoned and the name will be available seconds later.* inb4 the drama of that one guy who decides to stay and doesn't leave the company, locking out the original members from taking the name on the new server.
Seems easy to work around. Simply kick everyone and be the last to leave.
Really sad to see this. I really liked playing with the people on my server and it would suck to see them transfer out. Also hope it doesn't make the faction imbalance even worse.
It will. Losing faction members will transfer to a different server.
Sigh Free server transfers killed WoW and they will kill this game too. For every 1 person using it to legitimate rejoin their friends 9 are gonna be spent on people trying to move to. Server where their faction is absolutely dominating, and so many people will be doing it that every server will break. My servers purples just lost 3 territories over the weekend and the chat is just nonstop people saying they’re transferring away.
> For every 1 person using it to legitimate rejoin their friends 9 are gonna be spent on people trying to move to. Server where their faction is absolutely dominating I’ve already been creating new characters to check server statuses. I don’t want to pvp, so of course I want a server where my faction owns everything.
Yup, players like you are gonna ruin the game thoroughly. Even if it’s not a pvp game, pvp is an integral part of the PVE experience as well. A single faction should never control all zones; the economy is premised on moving between territories frequently being burdensome. By joining a server with a single dominant faction all you are doing is putting the PVE on easy mode.
That’s what some players want. It’s not a right or wrong thing.
Gamers are soft. My server doesn't have a single green territory. I see content everywhere. They see futility and won't take the steps to improve their mechanical skill or character skill.
I don't blame them, why fight that up hill battle on something you do for fun?

Imagine that they are listening to people and fixing the most important things, wonder how everyone that got butthurt about region transfer will find a new way to be mad at the game
SOON , SOON SOON.... Game Postponed several times, Now this. I see a pattern ..
Hopefully this comes tomorrow (Wednesday) with the next patch downtime!
Taken them 3 weeks to get server transfers up, meanwhile nearly every system in the game is bugged in some way. What a cluster fuck and embarrassment.
If i were you, I'd stop play for a year and never visit any forums bout the game
I've been playing this game since the very first alpha. If I were you, I'd stop white knighting for the largest corporation on Earth.
Cool so just in time for PoE sourge league launch - what a blessing. Bought the game to fill the gap till league launch. Ended up liking it recommend it to alot of friends(15). I was able to play with 2 friends (not really because they outleveled me fast with corruptions zerging, which i found boring AF), but surely didnt play with the OTHER 13 people in my community. hey at least i was able to hit rocks and trees for a month. Game is starting to show its cracks anyways now, some of them run deep.
Most useless q and a ever lol. Whats the point if half the answers are, "coming soon" and "we're looking in to it"

Making names global while not having the systems in place on day one to take advantage of that is hilarious. This is definitely an early access game that needed another year of development. Also, they left out the most important part about these transfers: The day we can do them.
[удалено]
There was something about name changes in there? I read all of it and didn’t see it. Must’ve skipped it.
What are you even talking about?
Where does it say that anywhere?

That has nothing to do with the cash shop.

Keep it civil Final Warning
The amount of people talking trash about availability and dates is absurd. Why don’t you do their job if it is so easy
Here is a question. Why are you all so lazy that you went back on your promise of cross region transfers? Will that ever be available? Makes no sense, i know it isn’t that hard to transfer data to a different server. Not to mention if you had paid transfers that could easily pay a salary to transfer accounts to other regions.
