How about allowing lvl 60 characters to move servers?

[Xium]

In a previous thread I was sceptic about the idea of server transfer but I can see some advantages about this idea and I like several proposals you made so I try to add to that:

@Servian

Allow us to move a lvl 60 character to another server once every 30 days

I think once a month is to long of a cool-down for that, the new server you choose could die of in a fraction of this time as well, so you would have to scout the servers, watch how they are and for that you just join blindly or create a new character and probably end up lvl 60 by the time you know the server and its community well enough anyway

So probably once a week or so would rather be to the point IMO

@Servian

Only exp would transfer, not inventory.

That is a great proposal which makes me change my mind about my first sceptisism.

@Servian

server hopping just to grief, since all that person’s stuff would be lost in the move.

Here I have a question.
Do you mean losing the stuff in the inventory only or instant decay of your stuff on the server you left?

I personally would prefer the later so when you decide to switch the server your base and everything will decay or at least lose the ownership of it, scratch that last thing this would not prefent griefing players since they could just reclaim it later.

@Bodin

I do not think this is a good idea. In other games, I’ve seen ‘roving’ bands of high level characters jump from server to server all for the express purpose of ‘zerg’ killing everything and everyone in their sights.

I feel you, that is what keeps me sceptic still.
But with you losing all on your previous server including the inventory would be way less of a incentive to switch just for trolling, but that is an uneducated guess of mine.

@Bodin

When a company starts handling character transfers, then a record has to be kept of who is where, what stuff they have when they transferred, and bringing on more people to handle the inevitable (“I transferred my character but she didn’t show up on the new server” or “Where’s my stuff?” types of malfunctions).

Here I do disagree with you about the liability FUNCOM would have.

Basically how you could implement this at a very basic level is like a “New game +” as you might know it from other games.

Say you want to change the server than you would use, as suggestion, the “Create Character” button. Then you get asked if you would like to remain on the same server or not, if you want to change then you loose your stuff, refer to my comment further in this reply, and get basically, upon joining a new server the chance to create a new character which get a vanilla lvl 60 (so you have to re-assign your stats and blueprints, might be required anyway)

Or instead of the button, you could make a special obelisk and a item to obtain before change, something as mentioned here:

Dear funcom, developers,players, server owners, and every one who's is fighting for this game

Dear funcom this is a letter for you from all the players on PlayStation 4 Conan exiles. This is for the devs the server owners for the players. Alot of players have left the game, we all got 100 percent of the trophies, we all know this game has some serious potential. I can’t stress this enough. The way things are going is bad real quick. We make the game the story is limited. Well, I figure team already know this. People are just quoting and now giving it bad reviews. The players us make…

Make the endgame bosses 200 times harder and allow cross server once a character goes through end game. Or something like a god coin that will allow you to go to 1 server and back to the home server.
