That’s more or less what it what it was before. The only difference being that it removed your character from the previous server. If I understand you correctly, you’d like to see the previous server NOT remove your character, giving you the option to do it yourself—basically after confirming your character copied appropriately.
I wouldn’t mind, but I’d see a lot of people complaining about duping. You’d have people duping resources and equipment over and over. Yeah, no, I feel that won’t go over well. And transferring servers without inventory would be pretty boring. I want to be able to still share items. It kinda NEEDS to remove your character to work fairly.
