Log into the Station store. You'll see a section for "my subscriptions". That is where you go to unsub.

So now it seems Roberts is now the only European server and I have heard talk of it being moved to Europe later on. I have absolutely now idea how this would effect my game play with lag and what not, may have no effect at all, I don't really know. However this "not really knowing" part has me a little worried.

So I have a simple question. If later on you guys do plan on moving Roberts out of the continental US will you offer server transfers to players at that time if we are seeing any lag issues or anything? Just curious. I am just trying to figure out what server to eventually land on and this information would be helpful. Thanks.
We would consider this if it ever moves. There are no plans on the horizon for it to me, I was just talking about possibilities.

Is it 25% per server period (i.e, once 25% of bonny brits have gone to server #1, the rest have to go elsewhere), or is it the 25% of total numbers - if there's 1000 brits over the other servers, that means that 250 get to move to each?

If its the first, as much as I realize and do appreciate why you'd do it, its going to majorly suck to split people up like that. if its the second, it'll at least be tolerable. Hopefully, my society decides quickly, so we can get alts transfered. Most of our mains have worked too hard to get to the map win to transfer away 4 days before it happens.

Edit: I saw elsewhere that someone said it was clarified to the second one. If so, I missed it, and ignore this
I'm awake!

25% is an approximate number. We don't really care if the remaining servers end up 30%, 30%, 20%, 20% instead of 25%, 25%, 25%, 25%. What we want to prevent is 50%, 20%, 20%, 10%. If a huge percentage of the players go to one server that server will be overloaded and the others could still be underpopulated.

The caps are there to keep things from being wildly out of whack, not to enforce some kind of ideal balance.

I went back to station, and my PotBS sub said Closed.

I never got to play.

You need to set up a valid subscription first.

edit: You might consider the same thing for the non-Anglo speaking worlds as well. I'm guessing most are Euro and thus Roberts would be their first choice. Letting the French, Spanish, & German speakers move to Roberts might even out their population balance. Forcing some to choose one of the US worlds isn't a happy choice for those players.
We are looking into doing something very much like this. It's going to take a few hours to get it all figured out, but expect to hear more about it later today.

These are both wholely PvE activities. So I say to you that your not only mistaken but you are very mistaken. There can not be an economy in this game if people don't participate at least in some level of PvE.

I'm sure the devs don't think that PvE is important. I suspect there is a massive number of explayers who thought it was. Are there still enough left to make it an issue? I don't know. I'm not entirely sure there are enough people left to make the game a real issue.

I for one like PvE and if it doesn't get the love it's been promised I'm quite sure I'll go join the gold farmers who have been advertising Age of Conan all night lol, now that is really really funny.
It is important. Some of the implementation elements of the contention system hurt PvE (by keeping ports indefinitely in contention) and hurt PvP (by always fighting over the same ports). We're planning on making both better with some of the changes in 1.3 and then following up in 1.4.

Nope, it doesn't affect 1.3's release at all.
