How to handle server transfers?
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2005 8:15 am
Just opening a discussion about how to track it.
1. Let the system weed them out as the census's come in and the player shows no activity after 30 days.
2. Allow people to manually input their characters names and where you sent them to. Wouldn't catch them all, but would allow for users of this site to input the transfer.
3. If a character with the same race, class, level, and name shows up on a server open for transfers from the overpopulated server... then delete it out of the data for the overpopulated server. If there is actually a character that matches on BOTH servers it should be eventually captured in another census.
Other ideas?
