If transfers open, players will abuse them again. Opening transfers is more than just letting a few alts move around, it would allow for more mass migrations onto mega realms alt or not and recreate those wait times.
I’m not saying it isn’t dumb, and I’m definitely not saying to not be annoyed by it. Just that alt on same account transfers are not currently an option unless you are on SoM.
It’s a “finished game” so while yeah they should be doing more to the minor bugs that keep persisting, they really shouldn’t be doing much but maintenance. In a perfect world of course though.
They literally are either too lazy or too incompetent to enable transfers for people who have characters already on the locked servers. Apparently it’s either everyone can transfer or no one can transfer.
Company is barely a kickstarter though, what can we really expect out them?
