To Help underpopulated servers

I Think there should be a system where you can transfer your char from different servers for an amount of GP. or free transfer to under populated servers =D

Why exactly? if you're going to tell him no, at least have the decency to let him know why ;3 Granted, he should have used the search function first.

I personally think there should be a character transfer system in place. It should be at this point, and probably is possible. It's just probably a lot of work. And if it is not yet possible, they should make it so. Many games pull this process off almost seamlessly.

However, here is the typical response ;D

"No, you can not have a system like this because it is not possible due to the way flyff is programmed."

I think this would be a good idea, excluding the part of "Free Transfer" to other servers.

The item would have to be VERY expensive to avoid poeple doing this:

Switch to server with low economy
Buy NUMEROUS items from that server
Switch back to server with high economy
Resell those items for 2x+ the price
Repeat

That is why it takes careful planning before an expensive item to do this is released, to decide what items, if any, can be transferred over.

Sorry, i was kinda tired when i posted. :roll:

But yeah, the main thing is he should have used the search function to look for this. I've read at least five other topics asking the same thing, and it won't/shouldn't be implemented, since there are numerous issues that would happen with transferring characters. Same character names, server-based economies, etc.

To prevent people from buying items low and selling high on a different server, only allow the transfer once, after that you are stuck there.

They could implement a system seen in other MMOs, where they have a set of 3-4 "transfer" servers, which can interchange with each other for a small fee. Granted, that means they would have to launch 3-4 new servers :p


You also have the issue of Demian. They're x2 exp and drop rate. Does that mean my Hero blade Exie can't be transferred, because I made him in Demian, and not one of the other 7 servers?

And what happens if I transfer him to Lawolf, where I have another blade named Exie?

I'd like to see something like this, but not exactly like "transfer your char from one server to another one as you wish".

But more like "copy your char to a special server where you can duel/siege with people from all other servers who decide to copy their chars here as well".

Inter-server sieges ftw.

And what if you don't like the server you transferred too? >.>

What if a person from say Aibatt, gets amazing YJ pvp gear, comes to Clockworks for example, and starts pwning siege. All because his server has this level of equipment whilst clockworks doesn't yet. That would be slightly unfair. Especially if whole guilds do that just to rule a smaller server,

Once again, all this requires is that the Developers sit down and decide what can and can't be carried over to another server, what servers can be transferred away from and into, and what happens to your name. This isn't hard to do, it just requires that you do it.

Some of the excuses people will come up with to counter a suggestion are quite non-existent ;3

Keep in mind, generally the point of a server transfer is to switch to another server so you don't have to completely restart your character. That doesn't mean your items get carried over, that doesn't mean you get to keep your name, it just means your character, will be on whatever server you end up switching to. It is quite easy to program it so that if your name is taken, a name change scroll appears in your inventory.

Place a limit on the penya that can be taken over. Cut Demian out of the loop, or subtract half of the users exp when switching from demian to another server. Place a limit on the amount of times a person can transfer their character. Make the transfer EXPENSIVE. Nuetralize all awakenings. The list goes on and on.

It's a big task to undertake, BUT, it would help this game infinitely if done correctly.

And on your friend list it would say "Formerly known as *insert name here*"
