Bioware has announced a few interesting facts character transfers and ‘low population servers’ for their MMO hit ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic’.
In effort to bring more people together, character transfers will start taking place in “early summer”. Dallas Dikinson, Senior Producer for the game, stated that the service will be rolled out slowly. The character transfers will be free initially but it will have certain limitations at first. Eventually you will be able to transfer to the server of your choice.
The following quote comes from a recent Q&A the developers had with the community.
Dallas Dickinson (Senior Producer, Live Services): We will be rolling out our Character Transfer Service in early summer. First we’ll have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice. We know everyone has more questions about character transfer, and we’ll reveal more details closer to the launch date.
Dallas: The Character Transfer Service, as mentioned above, will be offering free transfers from/to specific servers. This should allow the most motivated players to get onto a higher population server.
