Not sure why this didnt create a thread the first time. Higby also says in the article they are pretty comfortable with balance.

[Crator]

Hey, that's awesome! Many people in the community were asking for this! And SC unlocks account wide will be free!

Server transfers were mentioned too!

He avoided that balance question I think. ;) Too much to talk about, I don't blame him.

[Sturmhardt]

Nice, good move SOE. Now if cross continental warfare comes I am a happy man.

[Rahabib]

thats great news and server transfers. I think I felt my wallet open up a bit.

[DirtyBird]

Fantastic...I've already spent the same SC to duplicate each character on different servers because Briggs reliability was suspect in the first week. :rolleyes:

And rumor has it he also mentioned somewhere that they are looking at characters being able to play on any server down the track?
And I dont mean server transfers.

[AThreatToYou]

Yeah, I expected them to say balance was good, because I think it is too!

[Rahabib]

Id love to see where this rumor started... Even so, I still dont see the harm in choosing any server as long as there is queue to keep the populations in balance.

Server transfers, something that I have been dreaming on for a long time. To me its not just server hopping, its the ability for an outfit to have a raid night and go to another server and woop some ass. This is something I would really like to see in game.

Ticket for a refund then.

Nice, I'm glad they did this. Have no reservations buying stuff, not that I did before, but it will make it easier if people are worried about certain servers.

I think its important to remember its not set in stone yet.

I think its started in beta when it became an obvious possibility when they wiped the characters and had us remake them all with unique names.

[Elahhez]

I wouldn't call it obvious.. I think it probably has to do with the character specific stats.

[Spoof]

This. I have two characters, one on Miller and one on Mallory where friends can join without a queue.

If they implement account-wide SC then I'd expect a refund for duplicate purchases.

[Tooterfish]

It would be a nice gesture to credit SC back for duplicate purchases, but I wouldn't "expect" it any more than I would expect a refund on a game I purchased that is now on sale.

[Mathematics]

Good news! Account-wide unlocks will keep me playing this game for much longer than I'd planned.

RE balance: it's fine, in my opinion. I play NC and have never felt gimped in any way. Get in a good outfit, don't lone-wolf it, and you'll do fine no matter what empire you play.

I was thinking about this as well, and I think you're right; it would be a nice gesture, but probably not going to happen. = [

I had doodled around with a few characters before settling on server and faction to stick with, so I ended up retiring and deleting some that I'd spent a few SC on.

I dropped in a very cheeky ticket asking about the possibility of a refund, not expecting anything other than polite refusal (which would have been perfectly reasonable, and 100% ok with me...but, if you don't ask then you don't get)

I got a 50% refund, which I was surprised but really pleased with.

So..maybe it's just because it's early days and they've got the customer service level cranked right up, but some kind of refund/credit might not be beyond the bounds of possibility.

[Miffy]

They need more character slots, server transfers and server status on the launchpad.

3 really simple things that I have no idea why they ain't in there.

[Zerikin Loukbel]

Balance overall isn't horrible but there a few glaring issues that need to be fixed.

[Phrygen]

So if you buy a TR heavy assault weapon, does it generally have an NC and VS equivalent. or say purchased anti armor MBT barrel... or are we really just talking about rocket pods and lightning turrets here...?
