World Transfer Q&A

[Louvalinor]

1) write down things to do so you don't forget to do them
2) work on complex scenarios when you're not rushed and are rested enough to think clearly
3) when asking a GM to fix a mistake that's entirely your own fault, use begging and /hug emotes liberally
4) own up to doing something stupid; your kinmates will find out about it eventually

It has been 8 days since my support enquiry and my main is still stuck on Maiar. Responsive Turbine support, yeah totally...

[LulaMae]

thank you for reply. At last on point. Unfortunately all previous answers were not on point. But your beginning was impolite and far from understanding my true intentions and attitudes. Take care.

I apologize for being brusque, but I had already taken the time to answer your question quite fully, and you chose to disregard it. I spoke out of frustration. Additionally, you were quite rude to several other posters who were attempting to help you out. No one had been rude to you about missing the announcement of Brandy and Evernight opening to transfers off, or for missing that other remaining servers aren't open to transfer off of right now, and there was no need for you to be rude to Mac for missing that Brandy was now open to inbound transfers.

If you choose to ignore the information people are offering you, it makes it a great deal more difficult for anyone to provide the assistance you seek. If it takes a little bluntness to get you to pay attention, so be it. If I did misunderstand your "true intentions and attitudes," I'm sorry for that, but perhaps you should put a bit more consideration into how your words come across. Being rude to other posters and ignoring the answers you're given says, to me, that you probably aren't looking for answers and are just looking to stir up something, whether that perception is correct or not. It's just how it comes across. Tone is very difficult to convey over the internet.

Good luck with transfers.

Are transfers from Landy to Brandy open at this time?

[DKenny]

Are transfers from Landy to Brandy open at this time?

No, you cannot transfer off of Landroval for free right now. AFAIK you can still transfer off of Brandywine for free.

[Andhfara]

Is there any transfer planned for today? (monday 30th) or this week in general?

Sigh...

Watch this thread for the announcement

[ShireDweller]

I was just able to start a transfer off Withywindle, so it looks like that's the EU world opening up for transfers off today.

Edit: And it already finished successfully, so thanks for another smooth transfer Turbine!

[Thoroval]

Withywindle today, Silverlode tomorrow.

Time for Load Test #3 for the new hardware! This time the theme will be Festival of Festivals! We invite you to join us on Bullroarer from 5-7pm EST Tuesday December 1st to experience all of the festivals that we can turn on simultaneously. No need to gather in one location. We want to encourage a normal game time spread of characters across the world. Additionally we will be testing Update 17.1 at this time, patch notes will be posted prior to the test on the Bullroarer Forums.

All who log into Bullroarer during this window will receive a 100 Turbine Point code sent to their email account on file (please check to make sure your email is updated) and be entered into a drawing for a Lifetime Account, 5K Turbine Points and 1K Turbine Point codes.

We hope you can join us!

Do you have an estimated time for remaining worlds to be able to transfer among themselves. I'm aware brandywine can freely move but I'm interested in gladden. I moved a toon to gladden by mistake instead of moving to arkenstone. Now I'm unable to play with my kin until transfers come up which so far has been 5 weeks for me. How much longer do I need to wait ? Thank you

We will be turning paid transfers on for all remaining worlds once we are live on the new hardware. We will also start a cycle of temporary Free transfers from each of the remaining worlds to the others around the same time. I will have a schedule of events posted before that time begins. Once we have a firm timeline we will post dates.

Why such short notice? And why on a weekday? Being on the West coast means it is unlikely I will be able to participate, seeing as it is still during working hours (2-4 PM, PST).

{At least i was able to participate in the other two...}

[Mornaro]

Any plans for opening Snowbourn for transfers next week? Anyway if u can't say right now i hope it wont be as short notice as with Withy, so me and my kin can prepare abit at least.

[Johnny_Glasgow]

So there will be a "free" transfer grace period to move toons among remaining worlds? Being that I moved a toon to a server I had not intended him to be.

[Warmutkan]

Vyvyanne: Trying to schedule an end of server event for Meneldor. The last few weeks you have been doing 2 servers a week - 1 EU, 1 NA.

Can you let us know before the week is over which servers will be transferring on the 7th/8th? I recognize that you let us know as quick as you're able, but the Withywindle update was literally day-of.

[Stilgaard]

Fwiw, it's not like the server is shutting down the day transfers open up, and you know it will be at least in the next few weeks, plan ahead and just pick a day and advertise, advertise, advertise.

They wil come.

Probably because it's TURBINE's work day, I would guess.

Aye, we've already picked a day, but as earlier transfers have shown, server populations drop off drastically after the transfers open up. No point running an event that no one is left on the server to attend.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

So there will be a "free" transfer grace period to move toons among remaining worlds? Being that I moved a toon to a server I had not intended him to be.

Yes there will be. Most recently stated was that there will be two such events for each server, the first lasting a week and the second lasting a month, though exact dates are not yet available. But there will be a chance.

[B_Mashina]

Something I couldn't find information about with a quick glance. If I now transfer only one character to another server does this limit my options for transferring my other characters? I have an un-kinned character on Withywindle that I'd like to transfer to Evernight right away but my kinned characters I'd like to transfer only after the kin leader has done the kin transfer.

[EB64]

Only thing you'll really need to do is make sure your character you want to transfer now doesn't have anything you want them to have in Shared Storage or House Storage.
Shouldn't be any issues after this character is transferred to have your kinned characters go wherever you want them to.

Basically, just sort out your shared storage options to make sure you don't forget something.
Also, don't forget about any housing decorations bound to this first character.

[padraxus]

HEY TURBINE

IS YOUR SUPPORT STAFF DEAD OR WHAT?

I AM WAITING NOW FOR 13(!!) days that even 1 of my 2 (registered) tickets regarding a transfer problem is getting any support.

Haven't seen such an unprofessional customer service over the last two decades. If i weren't a lifer i already would have stopped playing the game.

[Thorenduil]

@Vyvyanne.

We will have a transfer between the remaining worlds, right? What if I will move to one server and I wanna move back? I will be able to do that ?

[UwS-Harledir]

Vyvyanne: Trying to schedule an end of server event for Meneldor. The last few weeks you have been doing 2 servers a week - 1 EU, 1 NA.

If they go as they have been in the past weeks:

07.12. Snowbourn
08.12. Vilya

14.12. Meneldor

of course they could for once do 2 servers (both NA) on the same day, but hey that would be something good and unexpected.
