Transfers are up!

[Inferiae]

Hello,

I apologize for the issues that you're all experiencing and the delay in announcing an update on the World Transfer Service.

Currently the World Transfer Service is experiencing issues and generating errors when acquiring characters due to a large amount of transfer requests. Due to this, we are processing the transfer requests slower than anticipated and there may be cases where errors appear during the application process. The development team is working to resolve the core causes of the issue, but until the fixes are completed you may still continue to encounter errors. We anticipate the earliest these countermeasures will be applied to be around the early hours of tomorrow morning.

I understand and I think we all know that the errors are being caused due to large amount of requests. That is the problem, even we knew that would happen. Just looking at what happened at Early Access, all the restrictions applied when creating characters, it was expected to be a huge load of requests.

So, I can't accept the excuse "due to large amount of requests" anymore, I'm sorry.

It sounds rude, but didn't Square Enix learn anything about the previous incidents (only in ARR)? Nothing at all?

Thanks for updating us, though. I appreciate it.

Yes! finally got my transfer to Ultros... (Which I thought wasn't going to be possible)
Now I am trying to get my husbands character transferred and it's not on the list AHHH!
I can play with my RL friends now, but not my husband

Hello,

I apologize for the issues that you're all experiencing and the delay in announcing an update on the World Transfer Service.

Currently the World Transfer Service is experiencing issues and...We anticipate the earliest these countermeasures will be applied to be around the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Depending on the timing of the countermeasure implementation we may extend the free World transfer period once again. We will be sure to keep you updated on the status as we have more to share. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused during this time.

Define early hours of tomorrow morning please - GMT? PST? EST? Ain't got no time for vague amorphous answers.

after finaly getting past the point that it stoped saying we had no chars avaiable it..

...took me 4 tries
...took bf almost 2hrs. For 2 hrs all he got was Lamia and suddenly out of the blue had a list of 30+ server available

so yes. F5, F5, F5 at any stage youre stuck at. Hard to say how long it will take but keep trying. Its all you can do.

Having the full server list doesn't do you any good if none of your characters show up in the dropdown below it.

My issue isn't you extending the free transfer service, that was bound to happen. Anyone with half a brain could see that Mog Station was going to suffer issues.

My issue is: After everything is said and done, will I be able to go to the server I want to, especially with all these errors and this being First Come First Served?

The answer is more then likely no. As a matter of fact you can't even give me a definite answer because you don't know yourself.

Unacceptable.

I feel that 'entire server lists' are but a myth, I don't feel like I'll ever see anything but Durandal...

Poor Camate, throwing himself into the fire of angry customers.

To have to wake up on a Tuesday morning, grab a mug of coffee and sit down to some of these messages for 8 or 10 hours a day on top of whatever other duties he has to do besides being a forum moderator. Whew.

Sympathies, man.

Also, it should likely be known that hostile questions don't beget answers... just in case that wasn't common knowledge.

[Sapphires]

this is extremely bad right now since some friends have been able to move and others cant, if people cant reliably move as a group to another server there is going to be hell to pay

[Ajulutsikael]

Bahahaha, omg, I say that and I just breeze through it after refreshing half a dozen times before my next whine?! I almost feel like something was trying to prove me wrong there...

I am someone that was able to get transferred with a ton of attempts/page refreshers. It was nice that after an hour and a half that the transfer was seemingly instant.

However, after being a month late on the original date, change again to "early" October, and then pushed back again -- this should have been Flawless. And I feel horrible for each person that's been waiting and subbing to your game while they haven't been able to play with their friends. Then those same people who can't get this to follow through have to wait three hours for some sort of communication from our rep?

I can excuse a game that isn't catered to my every desire. I can excuse a game that isn't put out there with all the bells and whistles other MMOs have. I can excuse so much, but what I find inexcusable is how the company is handling their customers.
