Actually, transfers were never free. Prior to f2p, people had to be subbed to transfer, which cost $15/month iirc. I'm not arguing with you, BTW. I just wanted to clarify this point for the op so he or she doesn't feel like the players who supported this game prior to f2p got something for nothing.

Wow are you so arrogant you cannot read the tcs post? What do you think returning player means? 80 percent of people who stop playing an mmorpg do not keep up with whats going on, especially if they plan on moving on to other mmorpgs. You do not expect to come back.

Exactly he isnt at fault, if people have interest in coming back they usually do check but if no one got a warning then it isnt his fault at all and there was no reason for your attitude towards him regardless of the difference of opinion.

{| style="width: 100%;" Well this got interesting.

I don't disagree with them stopping the transfers at the start of relaunch. I strongly disagree with them making you have to pay because you transferred to try to continue to enjoy their dying game (And continuing to pay and support it in the process, which based on your very vehement replies in the topic about date changing, I think we can agree on that being a good thing.) I was not playing the game WEEKS before it happened, however. I also was watching the announcements, through the subreddit and their site. Unfortunately they are terrible at giving out info unless you watch absolutely every venue of news they have, which 99% of people won't do for a game they aren't actively playing. (And many won't even for one they are actively playing.

I stopped playing. I had no real assumption about whether or not I would come back.

I used the trial a long, long time ago. March I believe.

Exactly. I don't want infinite free transfers again. But something for people who played and used them would be nice. Even a week or two week period where players who played before the F2P launch can move, say, up to 4 characters between the servers would go a long way.

Mirta hit the nail on the head. When I was still playing during free transfers, I moved around a couple of my characters (Not all) since I was only really playing my Dominion spellslinger and my Exile medic. I ended up with several characters left behind on the PvP server, while my spellslinger is on the PvE server (Despite originally being from the PvP server). Similarly, a friend of mine transferred some of his characters around, and is in a similar situation. Etc, etc. It's a really, really crappy situation to be forced into.

I'm curious as to how it's his fault. If he wasn't here for any of the news then how would he have known anything? I wasn't here either, I didn't know what was going on, how would we?

But he -did- keep up with the news, he was on the SubReddit and checking the Wildstar site itself. It was Carbine's fault for only having the news-in-question in a single forum thread.
