Star Wars Galaxies announces the post-transfer server list

In an article on the official Star Wars Galaxies website, the developers have unveiled the servers they've chosen to be highlighted in a post-merger era. We discussed the server merger decision early last month, and noted their plans to decide 'later' which of the servers would be options to transfer into. Now complete details for the free character transfer service are available, and which servers are getting the thumbs-up will probably come as no surprise if you're a part of the SWG community. Here's the list of servers that can be transferred to starting January 13, 2009, and ending on March 31, 2009:

Ahazi
Bloodfin
Bria
Chilastra
Eclipse
Europe-Chimaera
Europe-FarStar
Flurry
Gorath
Radiant
Shadowfire
Starsider
Sunrunner

If you have a character on a server that's not on this list, it doesn't mean your server is being shut down. That said, if your server isn't on this list it's likely to get mighty lonely on there starting early next year. Full details on the free server transfer program are available, including questions of transferring between destinations servers.

Server mergers have NEVER been a good sign in the world of MMOs.

Both the characters on my server and my friend's server will have to be moved.

I read the post on the SWG boards, and I have a question they didn't answer. What about someone who resubscribes after the Free Transfers end, but has characters on the Leaving Servers(so to speak). Will they be screwed and have to pay for a transfer? Or does each character get one automatically upon logging in even after that?

I haven't played SWG in a long time, so I can't ask on the boards myself, but I like to keep my options open on resubscribing, so I'd like to know.

SOE's been steadfast in its refusal to use the word "merger" to describe the above, so far. I wonder if Smed will pass along a correction come monday morning, or if the writing really is on the wall.

I do think that eventually it will be forced server transfers when TOR is released. The game has needed this since the NGE was released and the subscriptions dropped off. I am ok with it but my server is Star Sider.
