Guild Wars 2

Why are server transfer cost back to how it was before?

Transfer cost should be based on the ranking of the server in WvW.

Ever since megaserver came out, the server you belong to in PVE almost does not matter anymore. Why are transfer cost still based on the population of the server? Low tier servers have huge coverage gaps and extremely inconsistent WvW population. Most people transfer servers nowadays for WvW anyways. I believe it is necessary to encourage people to spread the population across the server and stop the stacking at the top servers.

The reasons are valid. Megaserver removes the reason for total population-based pricing. Servers in the same WvWvW tier should have the same price, with prices updating weekly at reset.

yup, transfer prices are broken and need to change…

1800Gems to transfer is unreasonable. Seasons are over Anet you need to fix this issue.

That is why it is 1800. During the season, only a few servers costed more than 1800, while the rest were 1400 or 1000.

Its silly how some bronze league servers like Darkhaven and Anvil Rock (Both listed as Very High) have the same price as Blackgate/Jade Quarry/Tarnished Coast.

Why go to the bottom when I can go to the top for the same price? Right?

I thought this was going to be a thread saying transfer costs shouldn’t exist. I was pleasantly surprised.

I actually agree with this. WvW is literally the only reason to transfer servers now, especially given that they’re eventually going to unify guilds across all worlds.

Making the price adjust based on the server’s rank seems quite reasonable to me. It should be cheaper to transfer from a tier 1 to a t2 server, or from t3 to t6. This might help some of the lower tier servers that have been suffering.

Making gold in this game is so ridiculously easy that this entire thread is just …ridiculous. Spend a week to 10 days on the EotM Karma train and transfer to any server you want.
