Why did they say they wouldn't implement it?
Won't happen, if you look at the US version you have to have an empty account or an active account with no characters on the destination server. It's not actually that useful.
Lets hope they can be arsed to charecter transfer accross servers if they cant be arsed to cluster anything
GOA said something about that some years ago and iirc they just don't want to go through the hassle. theres nothing thats really stopping them but themself.
