Transfers are up!

[TetsuyaHikari]

The "From" server dropdown box will only populate after you've chosen and confirmed a destination server. So for example, choose one that is available and confirm, and your home server should then show up. This won't transfer you or anything since you have to click confirm on both -- just exit out of that menu after you've run the test to see if the app is actually finding your character.

Actually, I already tried this. My world still doesn't show up on the second menu, even after picking a random world on the first menu. I don't even...

EDIT: Okay, I just refreshed it like five times and I FINALLY got the box to pop up. Too bad I still can't find Excalibur on the list despite creating a new character there... Nice trolling, SE :|

i want cactuar so bad SE

my RL friends ARE THERE

That is pretty bad... Do you have any idea why I can't even select my world to transfer from at all on the second menu under 'World Selection' ? I've got a level 50 character here I'm wanting to transfer and it's making it seem like he doesn't even exist, not even giving me an option to select the world. All I can select is ----------------, so yeah... Basically nothing at all ><

I'm getting the same issue.

Well... I'm giving up why can we create new chars in Excalibur but cant transfer?

Edit: managed to transfer my bf's char to Excalibur about 10 minutes ago. Thank you all for the support

The key is: refresh AND retry AND monitor this thread for tips!

I just wake up hoping the problem fix, but still until now wtf

Because SE hates already existing characters and want you to spend more time (which translates to: spending more $$$ on the game) with the game via creating a new one to farm EVERYTHING again. j/k

It looks like all of the servers on the "crowded" list on the transfer guidelines are locked to transfers, despite being open for new character creation.

Character creation is currently open on Excalibur (verified by logging into the game and using the Character Creation tool up until where you can choose the server - Excalibur is definitely an option). Therefore by SE's own rules, transfers should also be possible at this time but it's not showing up in the list of available destinations.

If SE has decided to close a world or two to transfers it would be nice if they could let us know. I spent the better part of the day yesterday refreshing the transfer page periodically and I'd like to know if I should just give up the whole thing or if this is somehow a bug in the app.

Can someone comment on this? We know from experience that SE sometimes changes things without letting anyone know (which is their right), but it would be a great courtesy for us who are trying to go to servers that are magically missing from the list to know if we're wasting time.

They are, however there's many people who early in the xfer stage have successfully xfered onto said "Crowded" Servers, so we know that they were open, but are just arbitrarily locked at the moment. It's not like they haven't allowed xfers onto them at all since they started, which to me would be a completely different issue. The Transfers started out being tied to the Character creation block list, then after 11pm, when the list was updated showing a lot of them dropping off and allowing character creation, Transfers still weren't allowed. I'm hoping 4am's update changes that... maybe.

It's entirely possible they changed how they lock destination servers after things started rolling. Perhaps they saw the trend of tons of people moving onto already-crowded servers and locked them in hopes of not having those servers be totally overloaded; just because some managed to transfer onto them doesn't mean now or the future the same will be true, unfortunately.
