Greetings IMC and forum.
I’m going to get straight to the point. Like many others I’ve payed/bought the exclusive access to the English version of ToS. Not only that but I also attended the last two closed betas, submitted bug reports aswell as generally play this game.
In other words, I have supported this game ever since the closed beta launches, back when the game was almost unplayable. I didn’t care because that’s what a beta is for. To figure out what can be done better, and to make it an overall better experience for the finished product.
When the game launched, I was going to play with various friends, but due to massive player overload, we had to split up and play on different servers. When IMC announced server transfers to be available eventually, I didn’t think much of the problem considering I ASSUMED that people will be able to transfer to their correspond server of choice.
Now to my problem: I am “stuck” on the server Orsha. Like I mentioned earlier, I am wanting to play with my friends like we had planned to, but because no room was available on Klaipeda, this was not possible. As far as functionality goes for Orsha, it is probably like any other server, which is not the problem.
My personal problem persists with the Brazillian playerbase. Don’t get me wrong, I am not racist and I have nothing against them. But when I want to play a game with english speaking people so that I can actually communicate with them, this holds a problem to my player experience, especially because they don’t understand numerous amounts of attempts of me asking if I can receive a certain skill ingame, so that we can clear faster and/or more efficient.
Nobody forces them to speak english, everyone should be playing on their correspond server, and have their own unique player experience with their own language that they are able to speak.
Now the final long awaited server transfer option became available, and Klaipedia is not an option to transfer to.
For starters: Me as a customer hold NO responsibllity over the functionality of an individual server. I was not able to create my character (like numerous others, might I add) because there was no room. And now, I am getting punished to not be able to play on an English speaking server, because for whatever reason server transfers to Klaipeda are unavailable.
Coming from other MMOs, that certain servers were full to register your character on, isn’t even a problem that is unique to ToS. However, other MMOs also had MORE servers available so that you could just choose a different individual language speaking server. And even then, those MMOs offered server transfers either for free weeks after, or they made it a pay to transfer option.
How come ToS doesn’t have any of these options available? Again, I am not responsible that not enough space was created on Klaipeda, so that I was not able to play. I literally had no choice or say in this. The only thing I could have done is to be one of the first players to create a character on Klaipeda. This isn’t possible for some people that work/attend university/numerous other reasons.
So yes, I am just going to say it: This is completely unfair and I am thoroughly disappointed.
Unrelated: I was proud and supported IMC on alot of choices they have done. They fixed dungeon finder in 3-4 days, they got rid of alot of gold spamming bots and they even fixed certain quests you were not able to finish due to a bug. But I can not agree with this choice because it is simply unfair to players that were forced to play on a different server because they couldn’t choose anything else.
I apologize for my pre-dispositioned use of language, but I am sure, I am not the only one upset about this, and people can sympathize with me.
EDIT: I’ve seen an official post some weeks back that was talking regarding transfers to Klaipeda back then, and the STAFF member had said that they haven’t yet decided on the final word regarding server transfers. So please stop antagonizing me saying it is my own fault when they had said from the start no transfers to Klaipeda will not be available, Because it isn’t accurate.
Kind Regards,
