Quick question. I have one character right now on Vidblain Arkadia Omega World Set US East, and my friends are all playing on Royollo Arkadia Omega US East. I started late and the server had long queue times, but now that the game has calmed down a little bit it doesnt anymore. My question is, am I going to be able to transfer my one and olnly character from Vidblain to Royollo?
The trust is gone now. I dont know if answers im getting from AGS can be believed at this point.

Yes as long as the server isnt locked due to too many players
Nice, I hope thats not the case lmao, ty!
Honestly, you guys at AGS really messed this up. All you had to do was use the same model as Black Desert uses. 1 Region for NA, 1 for SA, 1 for EU, 1 for AU, 1 for Asia. Have 20-30 servers per region and allow for in-game server hopping at will. People will jump around as they need too and it would have eliminated the issue of queues.
Having region locks and world set locks was/is asinine. As it currently sits, this isnât an mmo and as time progresses, itâs going to feel more and more like an RPG with Co-op feature. Low level towns/territories, are already becoming barren and we arenât even two weeks in.

With them back tracking on switching regions they should offer a free token for say level 30 and when you create a new character on what new region you want you can use it. Like in WoW.
definitely contemplating just being done - asking for a steam refund atm.

This is a great idea but they would have to offer it to everyone since there is no way to track who actually is impacted by this.

i have 55 lvl, that 30 lvl token useless
Our Medium pop server is locked, and it varies from low to med all the time xD makes no sense
I absolutely agree with you 100%, this is absurdly simple for them. They are just choosing not to do it.

Some advice for the communications team going forward.
Respond to the community with âwe will ask the relevant team about thatâ and make sure you do respond only when you have a definitive response in writing (email) from that team. We have all bee caught out by someone agreeing something verbally only for it not to happen.
âTony from infrastructure said you would do thisâ
Then
âTonyâs manager says well I know nothing about that, we wont be doing thatâ
You then look stupid because you have already deceminated that information.

Region changing needs to be a thing or your player base will wither. Many players put hours in to a character in the wrong region. Amazon Games needs to realize and address the work that has to be done to get server transfers to a correct state or there will be long term population issues. Yes its work, but it is possible. Your Amazon, you have the money to hire a proper Database management team that knows what they are doing.

I have low lvl character named X on the Server1 (world set a)
I have 60lvl character named Y on the Server2 (world set b)
Server 1 is now closed for registration
Why cant I transfer my Character Y to the Server 1, replacing Character X? Or transfer all progress from Charecter Y to Character X and remove the first one. In such case Full server will not be overloaded with the new character.
Guys I just want to play with my company and I dont want to waste 150+ hours for leveling again. I only contiued to play Server2 because you promise that I will be able to transfer my progress

You brought up a good point.
Really hope they fix Region transfer.

You can do that. Just delete character X so you can move character Y.
Server full status is fluctuating and hopefully they could increase the cap even further when this really becomes available.
Jeff Bezos isnât going to let you ride his space rocket, mate. You donât need to defend the company this hard. Trust me, the ones responsible for this mess (the higher-ups, not the working drones) arenât bothered by the mean comments as they are too busy dodging taxes.
There are other companies running MMORPGs globally that allow data transfer between regions. Unless you mean to tell me that those companies are all operating illegally, the reason for Blizzardâs refusal to transfer data between regions isnât due to laws but because the gameâs code is a bloody mess and the people in charge have always been more preoccupied with sexually harassing their coworkers than with pushing for back end improvements.
The real question is, in this day and age why did Amazon Games not develop the game with cross-region transfer in mind? Considering how globalized the world is and how common it is for people to relocate far away, especially in the USA. Did the suits say no because the workhours required for this feature would have eaten into their yacht fund? Are the developers simply not capable of doing it due to whatever reason? Is it a limitation of their vaunted servers?
Amazon Games snapped up some devs from Arenanet during the development of New World and that company figured out cross region transfer and seamless servers NINE years ago. No matter which way you look at this situation, it doesnât paint Amazon Games in a good light.

Hey, in other forums, and twitter and reddit you said that we could transfer from another region, me and my friends should play in europe but because of the long queues we had to begin to play in US east because it was going to be able to migrate to another region, and now we have play more than 50 hours and you say that it will not be available. I really like the game and i want to play in europe, now im invested a lot of hours of my freetime, which i dont have much, and i cant migrate to europe. Have you guys think about add that option?

This is a rly important questions and needs to be answered, i guess a lot of people picked the faction based on the server they are atm. If thats not the case the whole transfer doesnt do anything for a lot of people.
