Anyone knows anything about maybe transferring your characters from Rock Band1 to Rock Band2? I really like my current guitarist and i don't want to lose her...so?
Probably i'll have to make a new avatar but i still have hope!
cheers

I wouldn't count on it. It's not that big of a deal, assuming they will keep all of the customization options from RB 1 on RB 2, allowing you to fully recreate your character.

I'm sure you can... if you can take all the songs from RB1, I'm sure it's not a big hassle to export your character

Well Harmonix might have figured that since you can remake a character, then why bother? Plus, if RB 2 doesn't contain all of the clothing and styling options from RB 1 there will be compatibility issues. And on another point, if you can't transfer your character then I that might confirm that RB 1 scoreboards won't be combined with RB 2, though I'm not sure about that.

Plus this seems like the kind of thing they would have announced already, seeing as they already announced a bunch of other things dealing with the characters.

That probably all depends on if your scores will carry over to RB 2, which I sure as hell hope they do.

I doubt it.

I don't really completely care about my scores, but it's fun to see how I compare, and I'd rather not have to go back and try and get my high scores back.

Like you said, Mourne, there are definitely ways for Harmonix to get character conversion in RB 2, but I think it's safe to say the compatibility issues with the clothing is what will stop them. I highly doubt they'll bring everything back from RB 1...might not even bring any of it back, for all we know. And if they answer the reqeust to have hats and hair separated from each other, then it's a definine no. ;)

I spent a lot of time on my stupid tattoos. It will suck to recreate them.

I always wanted some DLC with more customization options. I'm anxious to see what new stuff they will give us in September.

Quick question for you guys. I only have experience with Guitar Hero. Are the custom characters the only characters in Rockband? Are there any characters that are specific to a set list or something? I ask because GH always uses the same drummer, bassist and singers.

That would be cool if you could, but I doubt it.

I hope not.

"I hope not."

meh...idk...as long as my song scores transfer over great...if not well then i will be pissed. my character is nothing special that can't be fixed in a few minutes.

I come with bad news my friends!

From IGN:

"Sign one person in and everyone can play. Characters aren't tied to instruments either. This may explain why your band can't be moved from RB1 to RB2. Oh, and I should mention that World Tour works with one player as well, so solo bass players of the world, rejoice!"
