I got the confirmation email and now it says I'm banned lol

That has been mentioned by the devs - they warned that you might get such a message, but you aren't banned. Ignore it.

G-land-Orien was instant.

1st log into Orien I got booted with an error message I logged into G-Land instead. Game closed.

Logged into Orien again no problem.

This toon needs to take a mighty loot ****. Filled every slot and all the items made it over.

Monster Manual reset! Right on, I can earn that xp again

It's all going according to plan!




Just kidding. I'm not sure why. The exact error msg would help or screen shot.

For me Thelanis and G-Land servers have the most issues and I was surprised I got from G-Land to Orien with little hassle.

Livmo to Livmo care package toon was instant and no errors this time.

The xp was like a normal HC xfer to some server of choice.

Sooo there may be some folks who aren't all that sad to see folks leave their servers.

Have been playing the game basically since Beta - we have 2 standing groups - Three of us play multiple times per week together - don't group with others just doing our own thing - and then we have a standing group of 5 who play once a week together. I am sure there are other people like us who just play the game because we love it and we play with our friends as it's a great way to keep in touch with people that don't live close to us. So if a bunch of people head off to another server and then Thelanis has lower lag, then I am A-OK! And then eventually if DDO/SSG decides to server merge then they can move us with all our stuff to a new place and we will still hang out with our friends.

Just thought I would throw up a thought that not ALL people want to move....

I had the same problem, seems the toons are stuck on both sides and cant make up its mind which side it wants to be on. Seem to auto clear up after a night's sleep. Applys only to Sarlona <-> Orien.

The rest one way transfer at most takes half an hour.

There is more to being on a populated server than just grouping. Yes grouping and LFM panels are a huge draw to moving to a more popular server. How about the server economy.? Try selling something on the AH or ASAH when nobody plays on the server. Let alone e buying anything.

2000-3000 players across all servers. It is a bummer that we cannot have cross server transactions let alone cross server grouping.

If you are a solo player mostly, you might still benefit by moving to a more populated server. Just saying.

If you're thinking about moving a toon during the free period and don't like the name of the toon you're moving, just do the following.

1. Identify which toon you want to move.
2. Create a toon with that same name on your destination server.
3. Transfer the toon.
4. Use /changename to get the name you want.
5. Delete the toon you created for the free name change.

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...

What if the character you're trying to transfer has a name that ends with -1 ?

I got a ~2, because someone already had that name with ~1.

It made me chuckle.

That's really good to know, thank you! I've got a couple of "-1s" I want to transfer and change their names.

You're welcome!

Good times!

Not doing any transfers myself. But will the period of free transfers be extended with the transfers being completely down right now? Just doesn't seem right to me if not.

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?

I'm in similar situation, hoping free transfers will will soon be back up and/or the period extended.

i think the answer to your question is a tricky one .Lol there hasnt been any info whether its a tech issue or a decided shutdown ....frankly our producers have really let the player base down yet again ........i wonder of they even give a darn i mean we cant even go a week without another cluster being brought on by total mismanagement
