Certs should just be account wide but faction specific

The ability to move servers without losing all unlock progress as well as your spare certs would be nice. Or even just to make alts to be in different outfits.

Maybe make it one time fee, bet it'd be a fairly popular purchase.

I don't see a good reason why anyone would need to re-grind a character of the same faction to play on a different server or in a different outfit from time to time.

But that would only serve to cut SOE's profits...and they really need money right now

or just merge all servers

I just want to be able to play on Emerald and Connery, depending on time of day and/or what outfits are active, without starting a completely fresh, certless character on the second server.

Some servers are just completely dead at certain times.

I had this thought a long time ago. Sad to see it has yet to be implemented.

I don't see how it would cost SOE much. It just discourages people from playing on different servers. Now, I'm pretty happy on Connery-USWest but if I wanted to try other servers to see what they are like I'd have to start from BR1. It's silly for a game with this kind of a grind (not a bad grind, mind you, if you're doing it once per faction, but any more than that is just unnecessary tedium).

certs should be account-wide. end of story. why should i be forced to start a fresh new char from 0 when i have close to 9k certs on my main char lying around

...not get the stuff that people paid for, for free?

That should about sum it up.

That's just asking for lag, connection issues, and unplayable levels of hitching.
