Hello.

I'm a frenc girl, defiler 70 Zerk 70 on gorenaire, the french server. I can't speak english, and don't want to.

So, where can i go? This is the end of the journey for me, they will never let my toon go on the other french server, storms, because it's pve.

Soe has let the french serveur die, they will now kill their player. Gratz!

Et la prochaine fois je postes en français. Quoi que, pourquoi une prochaine fois quand une regle stupide m'empeche de poursuivre en toute serenité de jouer à un jeu que j'aime? Sur eq1 le transfert de pvp vers pve etait autorisé. Pourquoi ne l'est-il plus? A bon entendeur salut! Messieurs les Devs, je ne vous salue pas.

Ouch. Kinda' bias and segregated in perspective, but uh, there are a few francophone guilds on Nagafen.

To Zhephiraa

There are a few french people on Darathar too that will be moving. Might I add that french people could try to stick together and keep their comunity as a whole.

J'ai toujours joué sur les serveurs anglais parce qu'ils sont plus peuplés et honnêtement je ne penses plus que la langue pose vraiment problème. Tu devrais essayer avant de nous quitter juste pour être sur que même en jouant sur un serveur américain, cela ne change pas grand chose. De plus ton post en anglais montre une certaine maitrise de la langue....

Bah j'espère just que tu reconcidereras ta décision parce que quoiqu'il arrive tu ne sera pas la seule farnçaise....

Now all they need is a Charlemagne!

I hope they aren't planning on giving Vox the shaft. How about allowing 1pp per char level to be moved with their char when transfering to Vox. Losing your cash when going to Vox isn't a big deal anyhow tbh. Plat comes easy and all of our broker prices are much cheaper than other servers.

[PeaSy1]

So me being from vox can i transfer from here to naggy? I have neverused SE but am burdened with the essentially buying of fame that happens on vox.

[OnGaruda]

When this TRANSFER will be possible???????

[ToejaM t]

An update with a detailed post is needed.

[Radigazt]

Great news, server transfers have been needed since pre-EoF I think.  I'm a Nagafen player, and Nagafen has the strongest population, but even we need more players I think.  Targets are a bit slim.  I welcome an infusion of new players, hopefully of both factions (well all 3 if you're including Exiles, but 99% of those are level 70's and I'm not really interested in T7 pvp, heh). 

If you're a good Freeport PvP'er who locks xp in T2, T3 or T4, has a good group of players (everyone has at least one Dreadnaught) that PvP's every day.  We are mature players and we require Ventrilo.  We'd be glad to let you tag along and get to know you on Nagafen.  We're serious about our PvP, and we very very very rarely back down from a fight, routinely engaging x2 raids (with mixed success, lol).  Send me a tell on Vexxus, Vexus or Ruinn if you're interested.

To khepera: thanks for your kindness

From Vox, can i go on a pve serveur? It's hard to erase one year of a hard labour

[Eybietie]

no you can´t.

[Sinistria]

YAY. gonna move my euro-char to naggy.... do they help me to rename the naggy toon with the same name? or do i have to delete so i can keep the other (euro) name?

[DarkRenown]

OK, so we all got excited about being able to transfer from the low pop servers, which is a good thing.

We all got our guilds chatting, and talking to each other about where is everyone going, which is a good thing.

All the proposed server destinations have been chatting to the low pop servers recruiting and sharing info, which is a good thing.

So, how about telling us

When? Can we do Guild Moves?

Not much of an update is needed really, just a simple quick response.

wenn du schon einen char auf naggi mit demselben namen hast bzw schon einer existiert, dann kannst wird dir eine fehler meldung beim transfer angezeigt mit nem kleinen feldchen, wo du dann deinen namen wunschgemaess aendern kannst ( bsp shadeXYZ oder nen ganz anderen namen ) btw server down um 16 uhr suckt nich wahr? ^^ greetz

[Sinistria]

ok, thats an easy way to change charactername. ty for your answer. ok, serverdown at 4pm sux but: i usualy work till 5 pm and i can start playing at 6 pm. hopefuly that is enough. is serverdown EVERY-day? btw, i am not sure if i realy gonna start over. i started Vanguard on ffa -server and that is way more fun then any pvp i have had in EQ2. i just like EQ2 so much. so i transfer my char just to secure its on the right server if i will ever start over again. .... hmmmm cant await to have the char there, where i should have created it one year ago.

If someone from the European server doesn't go the most logical choice (Nagafen) they're just setting themselves up for Darathar 2.0 down the line.

[Naglfar]

We're going to Venekor, but thanks to warn us

tbh i dont think this is true. i was talking to some of the people left on talendor. and somehow most of them wanna transfer to venekor. for the darathar people it seems it goes something like 50/50 ( from what i read in the forums ) once the transfers are possible we will see but atm it seems that there will be quite a good amount of fresh meat for venekor...

@ sinistria : allmost everyday server down.

[dr4gonUK]

I hope its days rather than weeks.

[sirfrenchalot]

Why would nagafen be the logical choice????

Not everyone plays the same and all have different expectations from the game...

To me Venekor seems like the logical choice, considering the way I play and how much a pvper I am.

[Eybietie]

i often hear that. it is somehow contradicted. you wanna move to a server with a higher population but you don´t wnna have so much pvp. what´s the point in moving then? not saying that you should move to naggi tho. but id like to know when you say people have different expectations of the game. what it yours? and how does it make vene to be the better choice over nagafen? i´m just curious. greetz

[dr4gonUK]

Theres a fair few posters on Venekor forums calling for merge and talking about fighting the same faces day in day out. Reads eerily like Darathar forums from 5 months ago

Can't say the same for Nagafen.

Time will tell.

Peace.

Thanks very much, and good hunting.

Update soon please... there is no hunting atm

Sry for "whine" .. but "soon" means 1 week, 1 month?

[sirfrenchalot]

Well, I am probably going to get flamed and told to play on a pve server but in all fairness I am not a PvPer at all. I don't refuse a fight when someone attacks me, and I will rarely run (except when it is a full group that attacks me where I think it is fair enough not to stand there and wait till death). But I don't really look for fights.

I probably should have returned to pve indeed, but the thing is this toon is my main therefore my highest character and the one I spent the most time on so I don't really want to stop playing him. So rather than going to a full on pvp server like nagafen gives the impression to be, I rather go to a more chilled server like Venekor where you can still pvp but where pvp seems a little softer...

In anycase, population wise, either servers will be a HUGE difference from the euro servers. So given I don't enjoy pvp so much, I might as well choose a server where pvp seems a bit less constant and doesn't seem to get in the way of a more pve style of play.

 Hope all that made sense.

I think there are several type of pvp players. The first one loves pvp and will try to find all the pvp he can. the sedon type likes pvp but will do a bit of both, the third one likes pvp because it adds an extra degree of realism into the RP aspect of the game and enjoys the threat of being attacked anytime but really rathers pve. And I belong to the third type... Meaning I find pve server boring when I go back there because I miss that threat...

I think I answered your question... and honestly to each his own attent from the game. 

[sprogn]

Much as I hate to say it, I think people above are right.  Unless SoE spends some serious cash marketing EQ2 PVP, I wouldn't transfer anywhere except Naggy.  That's where my 4 Darathar toons are going to join the Beserker I started there last December...

ok that makes somehow sense. but you know on vene it is the same like on naggi only during eu times it is somehow quiet... which will change since many people on talendor feel the same way you do and choose vene. good times for vene from what i read...

[Sinistria]

main reason for nagafen: he is the coolest dragon in EQ2 ever! and the first one i killed in my first raid. omg, that was work. looging out to chat room to not loose the buffs. no group buffs, all had to regroup for buffs and regroup over and over again. then all log back in and regroup. that was one of my most impressive experiences in onlinetime. thats why nagafen

You're taking the [Removed for Content] again SOE.

Come one and all to Vox.  

Don't be intimidated by the Station Exchange.  I've been on the server for less than a year, never used the SE, but i'm still very well off.

and our economies are way better than nagafen, especially on the Q side!

Vox Qeynos beckons you all!!!!!

I'll be very honest with you.... Vox and Station Exchange doesn't seem a very good choice. Basically as EU citizens, we won't be able to use the Station Exchange feature. More over, as I understand it from Gallenite's post, if we were to transfer there we would still lose items and money as it is the case when you transfer to a SE enabled server.... which wouldn't be the case for nagafen or venekor.....

It seems like a no win situation to me :s

I'm Canadian and I can not buy or sell on the station exchange. I've been on Vox since I started PvP. It really isn't hard to get what you need without using the exchange service. If you can hook up with a good guild or people when you get to Vox, I'm sure people are willing to help..but that's just my opinion and I've had no problems not being able to use the service that is provided to US residents. It's actually a pretty good server with alot of great people, we just need more to come over to Vox.

I think you right there mate.

Also, we should consider that Venekor wouldnt be so empty when the 3 EU-pvp servers have moved to US, and defenetly NOT Nagafen.
