Rarebit, i know this may have been brought up before. I wanted you to check this post out and see if these changes to the Faction window could be implimented without totally making it a big change for you to work on.

Also with the email, would an address book ever be implimented so we can make group emails a lil bit easier?

Rarebit,

Can SOE setup a system to PAY REAL CASH for a character transfer? If blizzard can do it why can't SOE?

phaydren

probably because they would have to set up a new department or at least hire a few guys to handle all the transfers not to mention the ammount of database work involved, which i think is still a no no.

would be nice to see but id say transfers would be more of a long term project.

Honestly with only three servers and one of those with a one-way transfer only policy, I don't think SOE are bothered in the slightest about even considering such a service. For them, it would be a waste of time and money. If we still had nine servers... well, who knows?

Will we ever have another live event (ala Assassin/Red Eyed Agent caliber), where the actual bad guy is out and we'll all out to kill him and his henchmen to save the Matrix one again?

Somthing to do with, if they remove a toon from a server they have to edit the data base and if they do it will splode !!! :O.. On a serious note i would love thos but people would level on syntax and recursion and then transfer to vector... and thus ending the fun u get wen u kill a level 16 sitting in mara with no evade for 10K damge :O

Last time they did that everybody complained. They're still complaining. Anome.

Wrong. Players are not allowed to transfer to Vector, only from Vector. The last time transfers were offered the rules were as follows (paraphrased):

Players could transfer from any non-hostile server to any other non-hostile server.
Players could only transfer from a hostile server to a non-hostile server.
Players could not transfer from a non-hostile server to a hostile server.
Players could only transfer one character at a time.
Character transfers took 24 hours to complete.

So *if* transfers were offered now it would be:

Players can transfer from any non-hostile server to any other non-hostile server (ie, from Recursion to Syntax)
Players can transfer from Vector to any non-hostile server (ie, from Vector to Recursion)
Players cannot transfer to Vector (ie, from Syntax to Vector is *not* possible)

With that in mind, and taking into account players now have three character slots per server, transfers are not really necessary.

They were originally offered only due to the timings of the old 'Lith events - ie so European players could move to a server with European friendly event times. That reason is also no longer valid.

Aye, the reason they first offered it was to do with the introduction of Input and Output - they were introduced after the American release, and since many seeked to play as soon as it began, as opposed to the 2-week-delayed European release, many joined the American servers (Proxy for the win! SMILEY

)

Personally I preferred the American servers. I never liked the idea of events at 6pm. And getting the early slots for the other 7 was just fair play.

But several other posters are right - there is no need for them anymore.

Plus getting the event the day after so you knew most of what was going to happen wasn't brilliant either. SMILEY

Yeah, we get it, you'll never be banned, quit bragging. =p

If Rarebit ever returneth to this thread, I have a question I'd like to ask him:

How much could you alter the City's looks without making some big mumbo jumbo codey thing that requires huge patches? Does so much as moving a bench an inch to the right fubarr everything, or can you do something like tweak textures?

You're right, I'm blind. Forgive me, I'll never try to compliment your lack of respect for anyone again.
