Free Transfers Available to Orien and Sarlona February 8th-28th

[Septimus-Boldrei]

I don't think this will work. Trying to create a [name]-1 and the character creation screen wont allow the dash or the number. So not sure how to port over a character with a -1 to be able to change the name? How did you do it?

Create a character with the same name on your target server. Then create a character with the same name on a third server and port it over. this will become name-1. then port over your character called name-1 from your original server.

WHY NO UPDATE ON THE TRANSFER ISSUE?

Is it a decision, a technical problem, what?

I have toons in limbo waiting to move, but (as usual) there's no word on what is going on....

Will the free period be extended?

[Bunker]

Just like any features the game has provided over the years.

Do it often and quickly before the door closes.

I guess we all were not fast enough.

[GODDEATH]

If this gets sorted and works, it can open the door to free transfers to any server?
quick glance that was 2,495?

i mean if i can move all my toons over this way someday i think that is a good thing or move a few to play with friends met streaming ect., (hesitant currently)
also new players can also have ability to move to a more popular server if they want to after getting into the game for more LFM"s on

Only the astral shard part is tough for some but right now most but consider the previous cost per toon. also u can buy that shiny thing u wanted before you move for whatever reason.
later that may not be as easy depending on the rollout of this system across the board and whos left on
Or rotate where u can transfer every month to a different server to keep traffic low and let the crowd sort it out.
or only X toons Per time period ect. fine with me.

Gland is still fun the hidden luck stat is untouched

Y'know, the posting on the launcher clearly states "will bring more information as soon as it is available." The problem I have with this statement for one, is the fact you completely withheld any information on this to begin with. It really does feel like you guys keep trying to appease us with "white-lies". That is still lying in a whole. Is that really what you guys should be doing with as little of a player base there is left on this game? Be upfront with us.

To me at this point, you guys don't care about the game anymore and really are just trying to scrape whatever pennies are left to be thrown at you guys. If this isn't the case then prove it to us, I know I am not the only one that feels like this is what is happening.

I'd be mostly satisfied with a "we have no idea what went wrong, but we're working on it." As opposed to a long silence.

Looks like free transfers are on-hold again (along with all transfers). Does anyone have any more information? I'd been waiting until this weekend to xfer old HC toons to Sarlona (my main server) figuring any issues would have been worked out...

Exactly, I was planning on doing everything this past weekend? Zero communication on this? They better run this until the end of March, already....what is it...six days and you can't transfer? C'mon guys.

SSG does not fully think anything through. SSG comes up with an idea and fails to foresee the effects from those ideas. Yeah free transfers might sound like a good idea, but now Ghallanda has lost 11% of it's total characters, and it was already one of the lowest population servers. No, I have never been on Ghallanda, but I do know this is just another SSG mess.

There was a bug that some individuals were able exploit that was allowing unscrupulous players to dupe Heroic and Epic Otto's Boxes when they "transferred" to Sarlona. This was stated by one of the devs in Discord yesterday afternoon and on Voodu's stream on Monday morning.

They "are working" to close the bug, but SSG will not tell us this, because they don't want others asking how this was even possible, or trying to pull the same trick on Orien.

The proof is currently on the Sarlona Shard Exchange. The same individual(s) have listed almost 30 Otto's boxes for prices ranging from 14K to 20K astral shards. There are currently no Otto's boxes (except legit ones) on the Orien shard exchange because SSG stepped in (and shut transfers down temporarily) when it was found on Sarlona.

Duping of Otto's Boxes is nothing new and SSG seems not to be able to ever stop it.

It's fine they said it on Discord, but they really need to draw the line and decide the platform they want to address the players from as well. I have never been on their Discord before. Have always come to the Forums for any information the Dev's are giving to the players.

Spot on and by never fixing the issue it now really does affect the whole player base ......just another cluster on the pile which seems these days to grow on a weekly basis

Create a character with the same name on your target server. Then create a character with the same name on a third server and port it over. this will become name-1. then port over your character called name-1 from your original server.

Thank you kindly

[akadurgrim]

I don't really mind the delay, but could we at least have a confirmation that the free migration period will be extended to after the migration actualy works?

thanks.

What he said. Don't want to wait for nothing.

[Dandonk]

Still missing several guildies. I am not amused.

[thbu21]

I only managed to move my main character to a different server..
All my other characters, along with ALL the gear I had is left on my old server.
They decided to give us all these XP events and Otto's boxes now, when I can't level my characters the same way because they have no gear.
This is so upsetting honestly, 10 days where I'm practically stuck..
As a paying customer, this seems so disrespectful.

[Oliphant]

Would be nice to get more info on what is happening with people left behind on servers.

Playing Midnight Suns until this is fixed

In recent months we have been working to investigate and resolve issues surrounding character transfers to several game worlds, and we are happy to say that we have resolved these issues! We want to give players who have been waiting to transfer to Orien and Sarlona the opportunity to do so in the coming weeks.

Starting after our weekly maintenance on Wednesday, February 8th, character transfers to Orien and Sarlona ONLY will be free through February 28th. Free transfers to Orien and Sarlona will remain available until we bring the game worlds down for weekly maintenance on March 1st.

To learn more about world transfers, read our article on DDO.com:https://www.ddo.com/guides/ddo-transfer-guide

Of Important Note:

• Please note that the following things do NOT transfer with you to your destination world:
  
  • Your Friends list
  • Your /Ignore list
  • Your Guild name, level, airship, amenities, membership ranks, or other guild-related benefits. You will appear in the new world guildless.
  • Items in your Reincarnation Cache
  • Items bid on or posted to the Auction Houses
  • In-game mail
  • Shared Account Bank and Crafting Storage items
  • Your Astral Shard balance
  • Your Creature Companion Stable
  • Your Mount Stable
  
  
  
• You cannot be the Leader of a Guild and transfer your character from one world to another. If necessary, please promote a successor or other guild member to Leader, or disband your guild, prior to undergoing a character transfer from one live game world to another. Guild leaders will not display in the Character Transfer UI.
• You cannot be logged into the game world while undergoing a character transfer. If you are, you will be kicked from the game world and receive an erroneous “ban” message. You aren’t banned.
• It is possible to transfer back to your original game world after transferring to a different world, but your original guild, airship, True Reincarnation cache, and in-game mail is not preserved.
• If your name is being used on the world you are transferring to, your name will be appended with a -1 and you will be granted a one-time free rename credit. While logged into the character you wish to change the name of, type /changename (new name) into the chat panel to change your name.

Thank you!
