its mid september. where is our transfer?

Actually, it's a reasonable guess if you think transfers arrive at the same time as the resumption of digital sales (though it is a connection SE never made). ...and assuming SE decides that all went well on the servers this weekend, and the servers do seem fine after the last update, then digital sales resume again this week, per SE.

Aaaaaaaand it's Wednesday. Like I said, cite or it didn't happen.

Before anyone accuses the above poster of lying. It was based on an interview at PAX done by Massively with Yoshi earlier this month: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09...expanding-fun/ Go to paragraph 11- the one by the pic of the choco.

Next up was a question about server transfers, and Yoshida said that they will be available within two to three months.

The Mogstation & Lodestone say Mid-Sept. Yoshi made a post last week saying they hoped to have a announcement in the very near future. So it is a toss up as to when they might actually happen. Fingers crossed that it is this month and not in Nov/Dec.

I don't know how this relates to my comment, which was a response to someone saying it was a "reasonable guess" to say transfers would start Wednesday (i.e. today).

Think you are talking about me, and I said it was a reasonable guess if, and only if, transfers came at the same time as resumed digital sales as SE hinted very strongly about when the later would be resumed. I strongly think the two should have been paired, but obviously SE had other plans, perhaps with some kinks still needing to be worked out in their transfer system. I do note that Wednesday did indeed turn out to be the day that digital sales were turned back on.

Ten days until October, hopefully the announcement will come this weekend or early next week. If not, then perhaps the 2-3 month timeline on the Massively interview was correct. I hope not. I don't mind paying for a transfer, although waiting for it is a pain, with all the hiccups they have had since launch it is understandable. Frustrating but understandable.

That said, an update with more info on a timeline would be welcomed.

Don't know how you missed the announcement when you logged into the forums, but I'll help you out:

Key quote:
'we'll be resuming sales for both the Windows and PS3 version for North America and Europe today, and then for Japan tomorrow (9/18).'

As I said before, Yoshi never formally linked the resumption of sales with the world transfer service, and that is still in the 'soon' category.
