Feldon There have been many reasons in the past not to allow PvP to PvE or PvE to PvP server transfers. Over the years, with itemization changes and server merges, some of those reasons have become less important. From Rothgar on the EQ2 Forums:
We’ve created a poll and asked for feedback related to PvP and PvE transfers over in the PvP forums. Since many players may not watch that forum, I wanted to make a post here because this decision can impact PvE servers as well.
Please feel free to vote and post your feedback/opinions in this thread.
The question: How do you feel about allowing Marketplace transfers to/from PvP and PvE servers?
and in response to the question of whether Rothgar is reading both the original thread AND poll thread:
I’m definitely reading every post in this thread. I think many people look at recent hot topics and the dev tracker, so it should get plenty of publicity even in the PvP forum.
On the idea of allowing Copies instead of Transfers:
Regarding copy tokens, yes I agree it would be nice, but it creates lots of problems that are more difficult to solve. A copy is in essence duplicating your character and everything on it. Players could load a character up with all the plat they could find and then copy that character over. Then you can move the plat and items to another character and copy it again.
This is why we wipe everything thats tradable when copying to EQ2X. We’d have to do the same here. We also wouldn’t be able to allow transfers off of the PvP server for characters that had been copied from a PvE server or you’d be able to duplicate a character by just paying for a copy + transfer back. There are probably other issues out there as well, so for now, transfers are the way to go.
Regarding the time frame, we would be looking to do something pretty soon, but don’t have a date set yet.
and regarding Vox and the Bazaar:
Also to address the question about Vox and The Bazaar, we would allow transfers between the two assuming we don’t run into a technical problem.
