Alice is starting to really get somewhere in Star Wars Galaxies, but she's on the horns of a dilemma. She was a Brit early adopter who joined the original US server, and amassed a some moderate game-wealth — but found the game to be high-latency and sparsely populated because so many of the American players were asleep when she was online. Now SWG is offering to relocate her to the European server — which will be faster and better-populated — but she has to leave her game-wealth behind.
[T]he SOE team are now offering account transfers – as a premium purchase. 30 bucks to move your character to a different server, but all assets (my bike!!) would remain behind. So I could move to a European server and have better luck at finding people awake, or I could stay in the US and play with the hardcore.
Update: From the above-referenced post's message-board, "Hi, saw the post on boingboing and showed it to my Husband who plays onthe Infinity server. He says the SOE trade forums regularly have people who are willing to swap credits between servers, if that's any help!" How cool.
