True. The most likely option is that they will have to choose which characters mean the most to them...and the best will survive. Anything else would be unfair and would start a mass of character creation on RK3...something we have already seen in anticipation of this issue btw. You guys are a demographic that knows how to work within systems apparently...you must be AO players.

I think Technogen's quoted take on the server merge deserves some consideration

Yay for Christmas goodness!!!
I'm sorry you're missing the party though. As we all know, Funcom peeps know how to party like nobody's business. I would hate to miss it too. In fact I'm sorry that I had to miss it and I don't even work there. But alas, I have not as yet convinced Funcom to open a Delaware office* so that I can be their most awesome receptionist. It's a goal for next year though!!
*yes I know that even if they did I wouldn't have been able to attend the party in person, but in all my years of AO and as a GSP Dancer I've gotten quite good at virtual parties.

Well, since allowing them to have 8 RK1 chars and 8 RK3 transfers on RK1 is far less equitable and not going to happen, chosing which you want to keep ( -if- you decide to copy some over to RK1) is how they're going to do it. I'm sure they love to hear of some alternative, if you have one.
Please DO consider even 2 or 3 new Character Slots on current accounts please Means. I'm almost certain that would be appreciated by a great many players !

So to just sum up what you said there and to put it bluntly, Means:
We are going to take away your server, cities, towers and the names you have been using for the past X years. We're propably not going to compensate you for anything right now, maybe soon(TM). Good going there, that's the way to make a difficult situation even more unpleasant. Best way to make me feel even more less welcome on the server that you want to deport us to, are we just second class customers?
"What's in a name?" you may ask, well it's part of the character and it defines it for a roleplayer and even the ones who do not RP are surely quite attached to the names they have used for years now, it's the "identity" they have created in this game and now you're really going to ask many of us to change it?
Come on! Your company was able to handle the name problems so much better in AoC than what you are proposing here.
other games did it like that (extra slots), for e.g. sony never would have dared to delete characters in server merges.
why u think fc never whiped all the old toons in the db that are level 20-30-40-50 and havn't logged in for years? simple answer: it's a golden rule never to delete toons of customers.
i kinda wonder why fc wants to go that way now.
i will stay anyways, but still... it's really a bad move.
(i am kinda used to it atm tho, because of some not that usual circumstances last month i got billed double for an account i reopened, now FC declares itself unresponsible and i should deal with global collect (!).
i will just give up on the 17 euros because i am not going to deal with gc and waste hours, but hell u got no idea how pissed i was reading the "support" emails)
when it rains it pours
