Changing servers

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

Changing servers

Is it possible to transfer accounts from server to server? Doesnt really sound fun building up character just to find that server you chosen isclosing, becoming sopopular you cant log in, has lag issues, or youfound servrwith comunity you like better. Most servers are 30players max and imo that means you have to go through several servers to find ppl you like playing with.

There is no option for players to do this themselves.

I don't believe Digital Anvil ever envisioned or intended the persistent servers to become what they are today. The MP really seems to have been designed around the idea that groups of friends (who knew each other before FL) would be able to get together on one server and enjoy the MP experience together.

This idea of having 100's of servers and no one really knowing each other until they meet on the server wasn't really doesn't seem to be part of the master plan. Just a gut feeling here, but that has created some issues for people looking for a place to land, servers dissappearing, some servers going to passwords, and so on.

But that's what it is in many cases, so we just have to make the best of it. If we actually did have the capability to transfer our high end, maxed out characters from one server to the next, then would it not be even more boring than it is right now when everyone you see on every server is a level 38?

Plus, it really isnt hard to get high level with the current trade system. Starting over is just a mere inconvienence.
