I think that server transfers are good but I don't think station exchange is good for the game. I have transferred servers from Faydark to Steamfont and back to Faydark so I have used the server transfer and think it's good for the highend game in a way. Since turn over is so high sometimes it is always nice to have the ability to get a server transfer app. We have gotten a lot of really good players that were server transfers. We have also seen our fair share of people who transfer and then are like no shows and get booted. You also get people like Afton/Lorisa and that shit just makes you shake.

Server transfers are good for SoE's pockets imo.

i think koenigs point is that multiple guilds dont get a chance to strengthen up on a server because rather than stick it out and try to get something going they will bail to another server where they can join an already strong guild. From the posts here it sounds like "everyone" would have omgoshiquit if they werent able to x-fer, but based on the multiple "leaving the game" posts and statements ive seen compared to the # that actually left, i wonder if that would have really been the case. this of course screws the lower tier guilds on a server because people that may have potentially joined them and helped them build up are now fewer in number.

So when heard one of top guilds on MM needed a guard i took advantage of free sever transfer and made the move. Been one of best decisions i have made.

I followed him, lol. But still the best move I made. when Fine suggested we move I was set to leave EQ2 forever.

Think of the damage it could do, all those plat farmers put out of work due to too much saturation.

Maybe we could have the "Best of the Best" competition on the servers where the farm teams that get the most nodes in 1 hour get to stay.

Prior to EQ-2 the only thought I had when I heard the term BoT was bastion of Thunder.
