Hi people, Penelope from Crom here. I’ve been playing around with different servers over the past couple weeks to see what it’s like outside of Crom. Not planning on moving (I like Crom ☺), but it has me thinking about world transfers and the current system (really, lack of a system). I used the forum search bar a bit to see if OTM had ever mentioned thinking about creating a formal world transfer system, and didn’t really find much beyond “we’ll mention it to the team.”

I thought of a few questions to get some discussion going and see what other people think:

-Should there be a formal, secure world transfer system created by OTM?
-What should it look like, if you’re in favor?
-If you’re not in favor, why?
-Maybe most importantly, what impact would such a system have on the current server communities and economies?

The extremes of a world transfer system: on one end, you’d be able to move your current character and all of its inventory and wealth to a new world, retaining your level. On the other end: what we have now. There are a huge number of options in between, like being able to transfer inventory items but not gold or level, or being able to transfer gold and inventory but not level, or just level and no inventory or gold, etc. Another layer of limits could be implemented, such as being able to transfer a max of 5 items and 50k for example, or limiting each account to one character from one world to one other world.

Listing pros and cons of a world transfer system could be helpful in deciding what the system would look like or if there should be one at all.

Pros:
-Try out different worlds
-Meet different people
-Find a niche! Maybe some worlds are missing a certain item or type of player.
-Would probably spread the power out more equally between servers. (pro or con?)
-Reduce personal conflict within a world?
-More?

Cons:
-Crashed economies
-Crashed markets for rares and other items
-Scammers could move items or characters more easily
-Destroyed communities/character of each server
-Would probably spread the power out more equally between servers. (pro or con?)
-More?

If they can figure out a system that emphasizes the pros and reduces the cons as much as possible, it could be great.

Thoughts?

This is my ideas

It is easy to make gold transferable: just make gold like platinum—tied to an account, not a character.

Just keep in mind that those who are saying that the economies will crash, or whatever, are the same people who thrive off of over inflating prices for their own personal gain. These guys only care about keeping their items above normal pricing and controlling the markets.

Aileron, you do know that there are more worlds in CH than just Morrigan? I am saying my piece hoping that the devs take this into consideration so that I can hopefully get away from the fun-fair, positive, peaceful, everything is wonderful world that you have created (in your own mind). Let's be totally honest here. Most of the screwed up problems that exist in the game are because you had the ear of the developers in the early stages. Yes that game has been great for you, but for a mobile platform, well, here we are today. I hope the new team of developers don't make the same mistakes as they did in the past.
The whole point of a transfer system is so that players can move legally without being scammed. My perfect world idea of a transfer system would be one that uses the mailbox system but only moves from server to server on that account only. I am for having to start a new char from level zero, but just being able to transfer lux items and gold would be sufficient in the game. Discs, rems, tabs, and other drops should just be world bound in my opinion. Anything bought from a shop should be world transferable.
