Why don't GMs allow character transfers?

[proto]

All my old servers you could, and it seems like it isnt game breaking? Just useful! I seached the old threads a LITTLE, but didn't find out why we can't, just that it isnt offered? Why not!!!

What do you mean by "Character Transfers?"

I don't really recall hearing anything about that...

[proto]

like, from my acc "proto1" to my acc. "proto2" Moving my LK to the other one or etc etc

Well, a lot needs to occur techically in a transfer, along with some of the customizations (Like allegance for example, or if you got a female account and you transfer in a Bard.), so I can see some of their reasons.

Because we don't like you, Proto.

D= I always wondered... but I guess I knew it deep down

Well, I tried xferring chars from proto1 to proto2 for ya, but it wouldn't let me.??Said something about invalid password.??Maybe if you gave me the passwords I could figure out the problem for you.??



Seriously, though; on a server as heavily customized as this one and certain attributes being account-restrictive (allegiance, gender, etc.), a simple xfer wouldn't be so simple.

Not sure why it was never offered.??Prolly just never occurred to em before.??I've certainly never heard or thought of it.??Pretty neat idea, though.??

to prevent "character stealing" cases imo and what whispers said

It has occurred to us.


I just don't remember the particulars of the discussion.
Obviously at that time, it was a no, or else we'd be offering it.
