Ark Transfers

Someone said in global on one of the servers time transfers might be turned on? Is there any validity to this claim?

wrong place for this question, also they are only turned off for genesis.

My suggestion is to turn transfers on, sorry that wasn't more clear. And no they are not turned on for other servers. I just tried to transfer (Val to Rag) with only one stone in my inventory and nothing else and I get a screen popup:

"Items Not Allowed
The server you are currently on doesn't allow transferring items. Drop your items and try again."

We can transfer tames by uploading creatures but can't transfer BP's, saddles, etc nor tames in cryopods. Unless you have some VIP access we don't. I've had this issue transferring off of Extinction and Rag as well, I have to drop everything to transfer making the cluster king of pointless.

Dino transfers are open to all servers except for genesis. Character transfers are pen for all transfers. 

Having item transfers could ruin the experience of some servers compared to others. for example, with how easy tek/element is to get on Extinction (and to an extent aberration) would slow down the progression on say, Island or even Ragnarok. Even transfering saddles that you could have, could take some of the grind out of having to do the caves on one map or the other not needed, and in turn, that map almost not worth having around.

Transferring items also exposed us to possible exploits such as duping and can possibly enable random trolls to cause damage to multiple servers before they are removed.
