Should SEGA JP/NA implement cross region ship transfer?

[Para]

Work the same way as ship transfer on JP but allows you to move between regions/ships as well. Only what is in your inventory will move with you while your storage items remain on its respective ship.

A larger AC amount is required for such a transfer. If such a feature is implemented, maybe SEGA overall will be inclined to maintain updates for both NA and JP servers.

It has been proven for awhile now that the NA players can play on the JP servers fairly well without experiencing too many connection issues.

What I am getting at is that when the NA servers do finally launch, I am in no way in hell just starting a new character on the NA server as my main. I have spent so much time on the JP server that I have no interest whatsoever to put my JP server character to waste. I am sure there are some people who also spent AC on the JP server too and would not like that to go to waste as well. If SEGA NA wants to see us playing on their server and spend money on their game, they need to give us a reason why we should spend it on the NA server and not the JP one for those who are established on the JP.

The most hardcore and the community that is most likely to spend on this game is the community I speak to now: the ones who are playing on the JP server and have gone lengths to purchase AC.

It's not gonna happen cause the NA servers will always be behind on content so they can't.

You'll need consent from both parties. If Sega of Japan is against or vice versa, it wouldn't be a plausible outcome. There are items on there that can only be obtained through purchase of a product and given a code to redeem the item in game, ie. Alienware M14x and get a code to redeem a weapon.

Licenses on items or promotions and the like would hinder it due to international laws on products and services.

No, cause I don't want to spend $10-15 to keep my character alive when the NA/EU server shuts down.

I agree that licenses on items and promotions will hinder it but I haven't seen any item that has really been tied to a trademark or license that isn't owned by SEGA so far in the JP server to the best of my knowledge.

You don't want to keep your character alive? That's.. awkward. And it is optional. I don't see why you sound like you are forced into it.

Very unlikely, just like what Lord Derpington says.. Because NA server will start fresh with only just 2-3 area, and up until Hard mode, so they would not allow you to transfer a character who has all the future weapons in inventory to join the newly started server. All the NA server Arks would stare at your equipment all day otherwise xD.

Well I hope for all the people who just love JP version, that some IP ban doesnt get put in place when NA release hits.
If you like PSO2 you shouldnt have any problem playing thegame again.

[CelestialBlade]

I'm just making an alt on the NA/EU server. Invested too much time into my current character and I'm sure there's no way in hell we're gonna be able to transfer characters from a JP Sega ID to a NA one.

Sega's clearly not very good at identifying extremely easy ways to gain lots of money.

The problem is not having to play the game again, but having to do so in a downgraded version of the game with a b20-in-all-blocks-cyberporn type community. That, would surely make me consider seriously looking for other games and explore proxy solutions before giving up and submitting myself to the US servers.

Not to mention that when the US servers die way before the JP servers, even before seeing half the content they should, I'd have to explore those options anyways, if there's that prophetic IP ban and I still wanna play the game. So I don't really see why should I even send my character to the US servers even if it was possible.

To be fair, we've known about this separate server situation for some time now. If you made the call to play JP initially, and then continued to do so following the announcement, that's on you completely. They shouldn't have to facilitate that.

Also, the bolded is a bit arrogant don't you think? There are numerous players whom would consider themselves hardcore, who aren't playing JP, and are simply waiting for the EN release. Myself included. Your willingness to go great lengths to purchase AC doesn't necessarily highlight a characteristic of being hardcore. It could mean a lot of things from simple impatience to preference.
