Title: The joy of transfering a server with a character
Post by: Jarkko on September 02, 2009, 05:32:01 AM
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...

Now it is past 5PM in England, according to the Codemasters FAQ transfers are completed between 9 AM and 5 PM.

And the transfer is still pending.

Fuck this shit, if I may say what I am thinking. Apparently I have to again start the process of getting my money backs. Total shit :(

The burglar was finally transfered, a few days later than I expected...

The funny thing is the burglar is now called Fitz-1, which I think shouldn't be possible. Have to go to bed now and try to figure out tomorrow how many angry e-mails fixing the name needs...

Don't they give you an illegal name when it already exists on the new server, so the game will prompt you to change it on first login?
Used to be that way with wow...

The burglar Fitzer is now available to join HoJ :)

The "-1" at the end of the name means one should use the command /changename NewName

A GM told me this pretty fast, I guess there are not many players online at this time :p

I have to admit my shame in front of all burglars  :(  There was this quest (http://lotro.mmodb.com/quests/chapter-5-tending-the-glade-492.php) (got the sucker once to about 40-50%, but then had to bravely HIPS as I had absolutely everything else on cooldown and just about to die) I was unable to solo  :'(

Happily Polo offered to help, and I think nobody noticed this, and thus I can still bravely hold my gaze in front of the other burgs.

Anyway, if anybody need help with any quests where I could lend a hand, don't hesitate to ask :)
