Two months is way too short. Needs to be somewhere from six months to a year. It should be so expensive to move that if a scammer were to move places, supposedly the items he scammed would all be spent up in the cost it took to transfer. I would say 100$ is perfectly fine since if you want to leave bad enough, you’ll pay that amount. I know I would with some accounts I would never play ever again on.
An account with a bad record cannot be transferred. That means any warnings issued or suspicious activity VR deems unacceptable.
Character needs to be 1 year old to be moved. This prevents the rookie scammers from moving their spoils to another server.
Account requires a history of platinum purchases of over 100 dollars.
Account needs to be above level 200 to be moved.
This next idea will surely not be a favorite one but, certain servers could possibly be off-limits from people transferring out of. This depends on how active a server is deemed to be. A server that is very active cannot be transferring into and a server that is dead cannot be transferred out of. This would encourage people who want to escape from a server with a toxic environment to leave but prevent from increased overpopulation and from killing off dead servers even more.
I am sure VR has the tools needed and statistics to determine which servers are what.
Quest items like DL, EDL, and DG items etc. cannot be brought over. Gold cannot be brought over. Only the gear you’re currently wearing plus 50 items can be brought over. Max of 500 plat items of each type can be brought over. (Idols and restorations being an exception which can be 5k each item) (quest armor and bound items do not count). This prevents one person from transferring over a fudge load of items including other people’s items to a different server thus ruining the economy.
I believe with these, yes, heavy restrictions in place, this would prevent your normal, average scammer from escaping a server since by then this account would have so much investment in it that it would be a waste to scam. This should bring economy destruction to a minimum. (Besides VR is already doing that for us by bringing all legacy items back) Its so strict in fact that most of you will disagree and try to remove some requirements but if these requirements are what it takes to have them do it, then its better than nothing.
Hmm, some reasonable limitations given the stakes, but a few things out of this might be a bit much.
I don't know about a year, but 2 months might be a bit too short for the initial move (see below*)
Definitely agree with clean history as well, but there is the common sense caveat here as well.
Character age requirement makes sense, but again, a year feels too long. Perhaps six months (a reasonable amount of time for even the most motivated people to level to endgame and realize they're stuck). (*then perhaps 2 months for subsequent transfers; don't need the full time to level, just time to get to know the people/environment)
Requiring $100 purchasing history as well as a $100 purchase might be slightly excessive. Making it a significant platinum purchase alone (4k has been mentioned before I believe), might be enough.
Ennh, maybe 150/180 on the level requirement (tower leveling is relatively miserable, don't make that a barrier lol). Do agree that there should be a moderate level requirement if any items are attached to the toon to prevent muling.
I'm not sure on the items; armor is one of the things that makes the most sense to bring over, whereas I feel plat items should be restricted more. You could go on and on making categories of what should and shouldn't move around, but the consensus feels like "some, but not a lot, particularly unique items".
Not saying I entirely support transfers, but they're beginning to feel like an inevitability from what people are saying; the above is just a breakdown of what a reasonable set of limits would be.
anyone else getting dead horse syndrome?
...but the question of whether the limits are worth the implementation still remains.
