Soon we will also have character transfers systems available.
(Multi server characters are impossible to implement because of technical constraints)

regards,

Chilko

since this thread was closed, i will make a new one for two questions i have, (and please no flaming)

1. I started in ra alsius, and moved to horus ignis, can my ra chars be moved to horus, even though im in horus ignis?

2. Is the transfer just ra to horus, or is it also horus to ra (i speak both spanish and english)?

3. and this is just wondering, what if we have 3 chars in ignis ra, but also have 3 chars in ignis horus, would we have to buy the 6 char premium to move the chars from ra to horus?

i would much appreciate a respond to these questions, thank you

And what with people with same names on Ra and Horus?
Example: Stooge warlock on Ra and Stooge marksman on Horus.
Will we loose one char, like its case with Amun?

Then an incoming char should get some random stuff added to their name and a free rename scroll. Or if it was a premium item a rename scroll should be included in the pricing - eg if you buy transfer scroll you get rename scroll for 1/2 price.

1 for free for all non-spanish speaking players on RA.

How do they define "non-spanish" I know a few people have come onto Horus asking about Tyr's and they cant get on it eventhough they speak the language because of the country they are in.

Will Items be transfered?

Will gold/Xim Be transfered?

Will RP be transfered?

And for chars of the same name I suggest giving out a name change scroll or making you change the name after you transfer (however NGD intends the system to work)

Also when? :)

Good work on this NGD, many may hate the loss of the English community on Ra but, well, we all knew it would happen in the end.

Im not digging a grave yet, but be honest, in your heart of hearts you knew the Ra-English Community wouldent last forever, Its the very reason that many people who didnt at first want to move eventually did.

Those "people" you are talking about didn't know a shit, sorry.
They thought the English community on RA would die and because of that they left for Horus, bringing even more people with them as a chain reaction result.

And look how wrong they were.
RA actually gets player from Horus from time to time, new fresh blood, and why is that?
I think that the English community on RA will never die ... atleast not as long as people like me or KnuckOne are around.

By making clear that I will stay on RA, I do exactly the opposite to what the people leaving for Horus did.
I believe in the English community on RA, those who likes to play with me will stay and those that likes to play with them will stay too.
We need to create a positive chain reaction to give people a reason to stay on RA.

Hopefully, people can still feel that the English community on RA is small but existant and that it will remain so.
Hopefully, this will encourage new English people to join RA too.

I would like everybody to stay, since spanish-speakers are not allowed on Horus.

If I want to play with an english-speaker mate... I just can do it at Ra, I don't have the chance to choose/transfer some chars to other server (I live in an spanish speaker country, so no option for me). It means that when they will give the opportunity for the single and free transfer... I won't be able again in game to play/speak/contact/fight against that people...

I prefer to play in an international server where I can enjoy a wide experience (culture, languages, etc), than just getting stucked in my cultural and language limitations. I am not asking NGD to develop a game just for me where they offer that, it exists already since the beginning!! That's what Ra has been for a long time, no-matter-where-you-come-from home. This game bigger richness has been always that for me. I met ppl all around... And now it seems it was just going to be wasted.

In fact, I started the game because one of my best friends (french) and I could play together, teaming up. And when we begun to create our chars, grind, level up, etc. they never told us that one day we will be segregated... We would never arrive to lvl 10 if we would have known that.

(Sorry if my english sucks)

I feel that the option to change servers is wonderful.

This will open up more trade opportunities for people that in the past could not trade with other users due to language barriers.

This will open up more tactical advantages in war with percision attacks to the enemy due to less of a language barrier.

This will hopefully populate a desolate server Horus and bring in more users to the English side, more users... more premium chances.

Since the change is not being forced on you, it is good!
+1 For this option!!!

Horus was opened and that was it, those who left went to start again, those who stayed stayed because they did not feel obliged to level again, or simply because there was no need when Ra has been fine to this day.

Now NGD has just kicked the boot, and its either go now (by force) or stay and die.

I wouldn't call it much of a choice. I left Ra pretty much, but at least I still understand my roots.

And why are people talking about this transfer system like we will see it in the next update? It's probably not going to be worked on for awhile, maybe not even worked on at all. All Chilko did was highlight the slight possibility, and we have hundreds of threads pop out over night.

because its huge news, and something every1 has been begging for, since horus opened just got acknowledged by NGD as possible. Only natural for ppl to get excited

A new english speking player will most likely join the "International/English" server over the "International/Spanish" one. And since today even more likely hell join the "English" Server over the "Spanish" one.

I dont think there will be much fresh blood, no realmchat makes it even harder to get in contact with those newcomers and get them to stay with all the Spanish speaking newbies around.

English community is condemned to die out on RA. Happened with the german, will happen to the english.


Edit: i somehow lost the quote on initial post <.<

Another benefit maybe that some of us veteran players who are taking a break from the game may come back in the hopes of having a more established player base on Horus. I know part of the reason I left the game (I'm doing clan website design and management right now) was that I was tired of trying to mentor some teens and tweens that wouldn't listen, besides the obvious game mechanic problems with the warrior class.

Maybe an influx of veteran players can be a good thing for those of us on Horus. Maybe (big maybe) the three realms will stop fort whoring and do some actual open field battles (imho the best part of RvR). Also some realms would be better manned during the different time zones hopefully providing a more constant less stagnant experience.

Put the flag on the top of your hill, but realize the hill may shrink, grow, stay the same or disappear entirely and besides some personal influence there isn't much you can do about it. So rather than the friendly bickering back and forth, try to look at it from an outside or positive point of view.

I will go down with the English community at Ra.

(Although I will keep playing at Tyr to keep in touch with the Dutch community)

It's sad but It can't be denied.

Yes, and that's why if Horus transfer is available, it would be nice to propose the opposite too. For me, Spanish is a part of the game, it's almost a fantasy element of the game because it's foreign, different of what i read on my everyday life :)

I will move what I can over to Horus as I've found it to be far more friendly than RA. It will be sad to see some of the english players not come to Horus but I understand.

I look forward to the population growing. And if you come to Alsius Horus look my clan up - probably the only warring clan on Alsius Horus XD

I am not really sure what to do. But I think I'll stay on RA as well. My spanish is "good enough" to understand/have an idea what most of the people are talking about.

Maybe I'll start a char at Horus and transfer it to RA when I don't like it there.

So I'm noticing that there is still no reply to the original questions....a reply would be nice :P

I am also curious to know if my Syrtis characters can be transferred to alsius n horus, and also does the one free server transition mean one free character movement, or one free account full of characters, there is a big difference obviously

Would be nice for Devs to come up with some answers soon, unless they havent decided on the answers themselfs yet, these are important questions for an important feature in the (near?) future, If they have time to have fights with the community in other threads then surely they have time to say something constructive here.
