So, Ghallanda is getting gutted because SSG botched HC server transfers?

I think more of a business logistics issue. 20% of activity transferred off G-land in a week, which means by month's end the server may become Wayfinder due to self-catalysis. Ignore the transfer page, that only tracks characters as they are caught logging in and out. Activity is what matters.

The economic modeling of allowing this to continue two more weeks is non-linear and complex, so I would have halted it to determine the long term business viability and plan to limit the impact of a global rollback or server mergers if determined to become necessary.

Something like this is planned and calculated for months, not allowed to occur as a by-product of a bug fix.

People were getting errors and slow transfers before they turned it off. To me that indicates a technical issue. Their Twitter yesterday said transfers are temporarily unavailable and apologized for the inconvenience. That to me doesn’t indicate a change in business decision. Maybe things have changed since but I don’t think transfers initially stopped because of a business decision. They could have just stopped free transfers and let other transfers continue if there weren’t technical issues.

We were getting some very nasty lag on Orion today during peak evening time rubberbanding leashing can’t run up a ramp some people in the party were very unhappy there were some choice words,

Hasn’t been that bad for a while. As a subjective data point the past few weeks it was significantly better than that.

And then there’s SSG.
