Star Wars: The Old Republic Character Transfers

[Jun 12, 2012, 8:47 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Star Wars: The Old Republic Website has word that free character transfers are now available for some players in BioWare's MMORPG (thanks Massively). Here's word:

The initial character transfer service is now available, allowing qualifying characters to be transferred at no charge from selected origin servers to selected destination servers. This character transfer service will be available as long as is required to help maintain population balance across the service and create a better overall gameplay experience. Select servers will be eligible for free character transfers based on the player populations of the origin and destination servers.

Considering the MMO that most people are familiar with DOES charge for server transfers, it's probably a good idea to mention that it doesn't. But of course, when a game company does something right (albeit WAY too late), it's still an opportunity to bitch isn't it?
