For all of you who have not used your transfer tokens that we were given so long ago for whatever excuse you think is a good one you seem to have not been paying any attention. They cut staff and removed those who used to post here. People are quoting someone no longer with the company. If you really believe that those tokens were going to sit there forever waiting to be used I have land in the Midge Water marsh to sell you. This game changes all the time, each update new things happens and many times just disappear. What is true today may not be true next week, next month or even tomorrow. The servers have closed for free transfers. "Waiting until I could get everything straight" is a foolish reply. You had time to do it.


Also if you think Turbine is going to give you TP for them then you are mistaken. These were put up for you to use after you missed getting toons off after a server transferred window closed. You chose not to move the toons and you did not use the gift. That is more on you than them. They are not going to refund you anything for free stuff you do not taken advantage of. You might as well ask for something for any missed hobbit gifts you did not get too. They were doing it to be nice not because it was something that was regulated.


There is mention of a temp step back to the older model and when it is made available (and it sounds like a short time) then act on it. There are only a few options for what will happen.

1) everyone who lost their 3 (or less) tokens will get refunded those tokens. This seems like a bunch of code messing with that would take some resources to pull off so I think it is the least likely to happen. Not saying it won't happen just the least likely.

2) Everyone again gets 3 transfer tokens to use. This seems like the easiest fix so I would expect it the most.

3) Give each server a week to transfer off of. Also this seems easy to do and would be my second pick for what they would do. Also this impacts more people and toons which might make people unhappy again.

4) They send you a personal email asking each and everyone which toon goes where and they manually move them and all attached. I don't expect this to happen at all because it would drain more resources than choice 1 but needed to be said.


What it is going to come down to is it will be for a very short time and you have to ACT, not wait and see or think about it or hope and plan but ACT. Assume that after this little fix happens they will not do it again. This is your last free move, use it. Don't sit aside thinking about it and the day after get on and then complain. Assume that when they get you your tokens or open a free move it is you last chance that does not cost 2495 tp. If you don't do it then that is on you not them.



Trying not to rain on people parades or pity parties but you really need to think when these things happen. Turbine does not have the best record of transparency in many things and on more than one occasion plans get altered without informing us assume it will happen again.

Sorry many of you feel butt hurt you lost your free things you did not use but really....are you all that surprised?
