Sounds good, sorry I couldn't be at the meeting guys.

In terms of getting to metropolis, is it number of houses or residents that count?

Ish

only can get to metropolis if the planet isnt already capped for cities of certain levels.
Otherwise it doesnt matter how many citizens ou have.

Free Character Transfer Service Begins January 13, 2009 - 12/11/2008
In response to requests from our players we are offering a limited time opportunity to move any characters on identified servers to a designated target galaxy at no charge. We believe that by offering a Free Character Transfer Service (CTS) in this manner we can address the concerns we have heard players voice with respect to server population. It is our hope that those of you who are looking to move will take this opportunity to do so beginning on January 13, 2009, and that this will bring with it a fresh sense of excitement and enthusiasm that will extend across all the galaxies.

Free Character Transfer will begin at 12:01AM PST on January 13, 2009, and will only be offered to those accounts with characters created on or before December 10, 2008 at 11:59 PM PST on the identified galaxies listed below. Again, the only way to qualify for the Free Character Transfer is to be on one of the identified Free Character Transfer servers and move to one of the targeted galaxy servers and this is only available on a one-time/once per character basis. The Free Character Transfer service will end on March 31, 2009 at 11:59PM PST.

More Details

Effective January 13, 2009, and ending on March 31, 2009, the character(s) you have active on the identified current "transferred from" galaxies* listed below, that were created on or before December 10, 2008 at 11:59PM PST, may be moved to one of the destination servers at no charge*. This option will be available on a one-time/once per characterbasis.

The current "transferred from" galaxy servers include:

Corbantis
Europe-Infinity
Intrepid
Kauri
Kettemoor
Lowca
Naritus
Scylla
Tarquinas
Tempest
Valcyn
Wanderhome
The valid destination galaxy servers include:

Ahazi
Bloodfin
Bria
Chilastra
Eclipse
Europe-Chimaera
Europe-FarStar
Flurry
Gorath
Radiant
Shadowfire
Starsider
Sunrunner
Free Character Transfer Service Rewards Available to Transferred Characters that Meet Free CTS Requirements

In the spirit of galactic friendship, all characters who move to a valid destination galaxy will receive a relocation gift of a painting which when "examined" will carry the name of the transferred character and the home (transferred from) planet on it. Only characters who transfer to a valid destination server as part of this promotional free character transfer service are eligible to receive the painting gift.
Along with the painting, players who transfer to a valid destination galaxy as part of the promotional free CTS will also receive a gift box which can only be used as a gift to give to a waiting welcomer on the new galaxy. Once the gift box is given to another player, it can be opened to reveal the same painting received by the transferor but with a new inscription which includes the "welcomer" recipient's name and the moving character's name and home galaxy, as a "thank you" for their warm welcome of the newcomer (the inscription is only visible when you use the "Examine" option to view the painting).

It is in the spirit of peace and friendship that we offer these gifts and hope that the goodwill that comes from sharing these gifts will spread across the galaxy like the stars overhead.

We want your experience with Star Wars Galaxies to be the best possible and look forward to seeing you in your new home galaxy!

More details on this promotion will be released in the coming days and weeks.

May the Force be with you!

I'll say Farstar simply cos it'd be nice to stay on a European server (I know we have Merkins here, but think we're predominantly based in proper locations ), and Farstar sounds nicer than Chimaera

Ish

FArstar, for exactly same reasons Ish gave!

~Z~

Grr double post!

Gonna be interesting trying to work it so that I can get both the gift of parting and the gift of greeting.
Suppose that's the joy of having two accounts :)
I think I will send my main char over and then have him greet my spy when I transfer him over. Wonder if the unopened box can be displayed in house.
Hope that works :)

/excited :)

reveal yourselves! :P

hi menis

yeah its a issue we have been discussing, and its a big risk as we do want out own town with shuttleport (who doesn't) and if u put your ear to the ground u hear loads of ppl and guilds are planning to move so yes it will be extremely difficult to get a city with a shuttleport.

but i believe its a risk worth taking, infinity isn't going to make it if all the ppl who atm say will leave indeed leave it will be one lonely server, but still its not something u'd do lightly or make the dicision overnight we got about 4-5 years of history on Infinity and no garantuee's that we'll survive a transfer.

and what SWTOR brings we'll see as someone else posted on the forum its SW its a MMO im sure we'll all try it :D

I voted radiant.... Sound's pretty

Moving servers.

City new.

 Dear Citizens,

 With the Farstar transfer looming, I am handing the mayor ship over to Alastrina.

  

 I am transferring this toon (pendarric) as soon as the free transfer opens, so he can be installed asap as mayor in the new Amber Ridge on Farstar. Handing over mayor ship here to Alas means that our city on Infinity won't just go 'poof' once I transfer - therefore the shuttle etc should be operational for the time period during which everyone will gradually transfer. Please go and vote for Liras with all your toons asap.

 It has been a privilege working for you all as mayor this last year.

Our new city on Farstar was founded in December. It is currently lvl 2 and will be stuck there until the housing pack up occurs (date unknown).

 However we have designed the city as if it was level 5. So it has a large square with other streets/features leading from it.

 Please use the following guidelines on moving to the new city:

 Unpack all your houses in the holding location (waypoints will be provided later) and make sure the structures' names make it clear which toon owns it.

 Don't place any structures within 700m of city hall. Even though there is no zoning outside our level 2 border, we are still creating a planned town layout.

 I have 2 good locations for factories - waypoints will be provided later.

 Due to the level 2 restriction, residential slots within the border will be very limited until we can advance to level 3.

Priority for those initial slots will be given to the KS Council, Amber Ridge Militia, and members of the Advance Party who have been instrumental in allowing us to get the new city established.

 Players without any residential slots in the new town will be given absolute priority as slots become available.

 Upon arrival on Farstar, email to aclok (gellan's alt there), who will provide all

Pendarric.

 

Guild news.

Hello members.

Same as with the city i will transfer  Alastrina asap when the transfer opens to set up our guild on infinity, before i leave here i will transfer leadership of KS to my alt Liras who will stay behind awhile longer, so that we can still have normal guild communication like guild chat and mail.

Upon your arrival on farstar contact me and i’ll get u accepted back in to KS (or a new name we’ll have to see when we get there.)

 

Alastrina.

My plan is to first " empty" the toons i got on farstar of houses. (pen/zach maybe you have a preffered order in this, if so let me know)

And then slowly move all accounts to farstar. Probably will take me a while to get everything transferred :P
