I doubt). It could even be just a capped amount to transfer as to not break the new game. But I'm very confident there will be something. And honestly, something is way better then a Dust for PS3 only for much longer. Its a dying console guys, and the idea of Dust and all your "investments" will go down the drain eventually anyway if CCP didnt make some sort of plan to get away from it.
I don't believe for one second that there will be data transfers of any kind. Names, SP or otherwise.
From a business perspective it would make no sense.
By the time Legion is viable no one on these forums will care any more about what they did in 2014 anyway. Everyone will have new interests by then.
Are you still doing anything you were doing in 2011? Hope I'm wrong but I'm not.

Getting thousands of already dedicated players to push to a new Game/Engine is not a poor business decision. I have been working on database/platform data synchronization utilities for a living. The amount of work required for something as simple as character data transfer is simply mindbogglingly easy. Simple SQL would probably be viable.
You are looking at it from a programming POV I suppose but from a revenue stream perspective transferring data that would limit revenue generating ops is counter productive.
How many posts have you read from vets with too much SP that were bored? Not playing as much? Not buying boosters BC didn't need the SP? Why would, as CCP, you bring that over to your new game?

I sincerely hope your are right but my feeling is if they do anything like that it will be little more than a negligible token. !0 free cloaks or something to that effect.

Why would, as CCP, you bring that over to your new game? Hmmmm....why would you want players who were so dedicated that they poured countless hours and plenty of money into your game, just to finally be forced to come to the same conclusion that CCP has: the game has no future. Why on earth would you want dedicated fans to migrate to the upgraded version of what you originally managed to sell them on? Hmmmmmmmmm
The ones who will come will come anyway.
The ones that would come only if they get data ports will likely be tiny in number. Hell, the entire player base is tiny number. Do you believe for a second that they will have meetings on how to appease 93 players?
