Closed Option to Transfer Servers
This proposal is to make it possible for players and their pets to transfer either in part or their whole account to another server. This would help players make new friends and find active parties for raids and events without losing their progress or items. In another game I play players are allowed to pick which server they login under and there are multiple channels available including beginner channels for low levels needing help and also channels for pvp tournements among others. In addition to being able to transfer to a different server possible once per character or once per account the player should have more channel options to help them connect with others. The designated shop channel is always laggy with a vast number of afkers while the other channels seem to be sparce so this transfer would help bring activity back and in many ways give people a chance to reconnect to mabi and the members.
If a single character is transfered all assests tied to them would also be transfered including things such as
- personalized items
- Items from dressing room can be selected which to transfer and which to keep
- Items in bank can be selected to either transfer or keep including gold to help with the move over
- If they are a guild owner they have option to move the guild over which would keep all the progress made (keep the guild hall and guild stone as is with all unlocked features). If guild leader decides this members of the guild would be notified to rejoin the guild under the new server.
- pets can be selected which ones to keep or transfer. Transfered pets would include all items in their inventory.
If entire account is selected all assests are transfered including pets, characters, items and gold. This would be more complicated but allow for someone to have a fresh start in a new server and make new friends. I may have forgotten some things so feel free to comment below your ideas and suggestions.

I don't understand why you're so against people wanting to go to other servers. Tarlach, Ruairi, and Mari are all dead. It's ridiculous. I wish someone would finally listen and let us play with a large population again.
I totally understand OP's point. If we had the option of transferring servers, then those who wish to stay on their servers can. Those of us that want to play with a larger playerbase can server xfer and then everyone wins, right? (:
To solve the naming issue I would suggest that during the transfer you would have to pick name like when you make a character. If its available you can use it otherwise you would be asked to pick another name. Could be an opportunity to rename your characters and pets as well if you wish to do so ^^
One Server is far easier manage then 4, It would decrease the Lag/latency that people get with delay and rubber banding or with monster displacement. This would also allow for maintenance to be faster and be more consistent. It would fix the in game market prices due to more player, since the current player base is quite low from what it used to be 5+ years ago, which would encourage players to buy more NX Since the game having a larger growing market with more rare items being in the same server the market would have a higher demand especially with Gachapons various item Grabs.
Now for naming issue the characters who has been in the game longer whether Play Time or Creation Date would be able to keep their name and free name change coupons would be given to those who's name was creation at a later time period or those who don't play those characters(alts). Names for characters would a separate name pool from the pet names allowing more names to be made/used.
New NX items Name Change Coupon 9k NX. Pet Name Change 3k NX.
The only downside to this would be the time, money. and effort spent getting this accomplished. Once done it would improve the overall gaming experience for Mabinogi.
In the latest stream, Saygo and Nkeona also said that there has been no discussion concerning a server merge either; I'd like to think that Nexon has more problems they have to take care of before dealing with that topic.
That's kind of selfish reason to not let others decide if they want to spend their money to move out to other servers or not. Just let them add this Server Transfer thingy, rich ones will waste few hundreds for it which will definitely give a nice profit for Nexon and maybe they will finally do Server Merge/Server Upgrade...
They could add more channels possibily but I would perfer to have the option to transfer to a better server with more active people then possibly be merged into another server which may hold the same problems as before with inactive people ect. Im hoping this thread will be an alternative to a server merge which may benefit those who are merged to alexina but not neccessarly benefit those who are say merged to less popular servers.
Also not everyone may want to move so it should be a voluntary thing (which you pay nx for) to transfer characters and pets to targeted server. If you buy the coupon your able to do it, but you also have the option not to buy it and stay where you are.
No, because if enough people move, then a server's population might be low enough to force a server merge, which would only exaccerbate the problem.
And stop using the Tarlach/Ruairi/Mari server is dead comment. Its false, and only makes you look ignorant.
There's no guarantee that such a thing will come here.
An option to transfer sounds good I guess. I'm afraid it'll cause everyone to move to Alexina but eh, way better than merging servers.
I guess the short answer is a lot of my old friends have quit Mari and maybe Mabi all together making it feel more lonely and deserted. I'd rather be with active people that want to run stuff every day and do fun and silly things together like I did in my early days of mabi a long long time ago XD, In the beginning, Mari has a lot more active people hanging around and willing to jump in and help people with their quests. I mean I knew at least four royal alchemists back in the early years who came on everyday and would join me on quests just for the fun of it. It's so empty feeling now though.
I frequently do commerce and notice maybe two people at most on my channel so it seems like the server is pretty deserted for whatever reason. I was told Alexina is a lot more lively these days, but I wouldnt know since I havent joined there yet. I dont know where I'd transfer too but hopefully, the server would receive me welcomingly and help me do fun things in Mabi again
Says the one who actually does the same thing to others lol.
Karma, i guess?
When this server transfer gets approved I will finally be away from these defaming and harassing people so I can make friends and enjoy Mabi again without them stalking me and spreading lies to stroke their egos. Alls you have to do is look at recruitment thread for proof of that. They post to every single thread so not just me but no other guilds can't gain members either. Then if the person rejects them they give out "recommendations" of their friends guilds which they are members of in this discord channels so they can still have contact with the person and try to convince them to join later by doing events with them. Mari is a monopoly thanks to these people making new and upcoming guilds suffer because of of obsessive competition that does not exist anywhere else because these people do not exist anywhere else (including in the other games I play where I am not harassed on the forums or degraded in game so I cant make friends or expand my guild). Truth is this hositily is a violation of the TOS and her friends could be banned for engagding in it. They could lose their accounts supporting this behavior. Being her friend does not give you the right to bully me and degrade me so I can not have friends and have a sucessful guild in Mabi so stop attacking me to help her and focus on this issue here.
Server transfer is needed because of inactivity and in my case hostility by certian folks who cant move on. We want to be around active and friendly people and Mari is no longer either for me with the exception of many 10 supportive friends I do have. I want to make more friends that will help me enjoy mabi for what it is a game to be played with others.
