If anybody ever intends to change server with a character and expect things to happen within the three busiess days mentioned in the LOTRO FAQ, you have to consider the following:
1) The day you make the transfer is not counted.
2) Thursdays are not counted.
3) If one of the days happen to be a bank-holiday in some EU country, it is not counted.
4) If a day has some major problems (some server crash for example), it is not counted.
This is my intepretation from the e-mail I got from Codemasters customer service. Ie while it appears a week has gone since I payed for the character transfer, only *two* days has actually passed. I pray there is not a bank holiday somewhere in Europe today or that no servers crash, because tomorrow is Thursday again...
