We definitely hear and understand the requests for a server transfer feature. However, as the feature does not currently permanently exist in any version of Lost Ark, this is not something we have the ability to implement immediately and we will have to work through possibilities for with Smilegate RPG.
Please note that we have additional steps being put in place that we will share later today that will further address the issues and situations surrounding queues
More information will be available tonight.
Unspent Royal Crystals are account-wide
I understand it’s not ideal to be separated from friends, but not limiting character creation has the potential to lead to a much bigger issue. We were already facing queues of 6-8 hours on some servers, and given the incoming influx of players, this time would only get substantially longer – in this case, it would effectively lock out both new players and players who have already been playing on the servers through Head Start. While it is absolutely a bummer that new folks can’t currently join, it aids server spread and helps to ensure that more players can keep getting in-game over the course of launch.
There will be new servers open when the game launches.
Server transfers cannot be instantly implemented and expected to work – server transfers have been limited to a special feature in the KR version of the game, and are not available in other clients currently, as it is not currently a fully developed feature for Lost Ark as a whole. This is something we will have to work through with Smilegate RPG if possible, but it cannot be done overnight.
The focus is definitely getting through to launch, don’t worry! Just here to share any extra information in the meantime…
Yup, you’ll be able six free new characters on the new server
The issue with promising free server transfers is that this is a feature Smilegate RPG has to develop and implement – of course we would like the feature, but because it is not currently something that exists for us to use and we cannot commit to it without SGR dev time, so we cannot guarantee a timeline or make a promise for when this will happen
LOL, I mean, I wouldn’t, but physically I also do not even have the tools to do this
We are certainly pushing for the feature, but as mentioned before, we will have to make sure with SGR before we can share or guarantee anything
My understanding was that these were a limited time/not permanent feature that is a regular part of the game, which I think is the disconnect here
