^ This. When my server on games dies I personally call dead game is dead, time to quit. Payable server transfers when the core of feeling the need is the company's issue and fault is unethical. Don't be a chump and buy them, you vote with your dollar and when you buy a transfer you're saying "Thanks for charging me 20$ to play the MMO as intended".

A kid is screaming at his parent's because they want ice cream. What to do? Sorry this one is on Carbine.

Oh please. 1) Don't just assume I'm part of the dead server crowd. I never "demanded" new servers and I waited through my queues. Because like you, I knew better. But as I have pointed out, there is no way for the average MMO newbie to predict these issues when Carbine themselves encourage you to "check out these awesome new servers, no queues!!!" 2) As I also pointed out, they should have gone with a different system from the start. Since they didn't, things were never going to be optimal. But new servers (and especially this many!) was probably the worst idea, if their next step (as we are seeing right now) was going to be "no we won't merge". 3) Stop acting as if free transfers are a big deal. They're not, unless the infrastructure is coded in such an idiotic way that it causes extra work. GW2 had free transfers for ages and they were instantaneous (with a 1x daily cooldown). I actually transferred back and forth just to get some easy achievements several times. It was that simple. Nono, unless the server/character database is some kind of gordian knot, refusing to allow free transfers is a 100% cash grab.

Pfeh, you misunderstand. Of course they asked "for servers". But this wasn't their real wish. It's like a patient in pain screaming for "morphine". He doesn't want "morphine", he wants the pain to end. Maybe all he knows for painkillers is morphine. Maybe he thinks it's the most effective painkiller. It's up to the doctor to decide how to end the pain. Patients aren't experts on pain relief. Players aren't experts on queue relief. They just want it. Any way possible. And Carbine chose a bad way to provide it.

When I rolled my exile on Rowsdower (already had Dominion on Pergo) there were literally signs on the login screen saying "ROLL ON ROWSDOWER PLEASE". This is less of a kid screaming for ice cream and being punished, and more of a parent giving kid ice cream and then putting them up for adoption for saying yes. More of a trick than a lesson. Your lack of empathy can either be attributed to you being a shallow person IRL or it is just part of your roleplaying. But OOC: do you really think that players should be blamed? This is the first MMO I've played from launch, so I didn't know this was a common issue.

So Carbine is the victim? Stop being so abusive to players who picked an available server. Additionally, it was not "all players screaming murder". Your sweeping judgmental harassment needs to stop. Carbine made the decision to open new servers and then actively promoted those servers. They encouraged new players to join the servers. How in the hell is this the players fault? You have a truly distorted sense of reality. Carbine specifically posted instructions that if you were having long queue times to please try one of the lower populated servers. This was their solution and subsequently their direction to players. I do not need to resort to inflammatory lies to make my point. You shouldn't either. Shameful.
