I don't want to transfer, so WHY are you forcing me to?

[Aion]

ASKING? DUDE.
SE should be clear in the process of migration with their clients. They should also be able to cancel this poor guy's transfer when it hasn't even taken place.

Please don't try to paint SE as the victim. They did a disgustingly half assed job in both explaining things and handling their paying clients.

SE is clear with the process. Discussion also going around. If you still not sure, you can always ask. I feel smart in this discussion, I dont know why.

[Elexia]

What I find funny is, generally when you have an MMO that merge servers you never have to buy a transfer/fill out an app or whathaveyou unless you wanted to be off the merged servers, why do people think that would be different here?

[Akumu]

There were a bunch of threads asking if they had to select a server to stay with their community. Guess what? They all had the same answer...No

Be pissed at SE all you want but your rage is aimed at the wrong people this time. Just like you posted this thread you could have posted one that would actually have helped you beforehand. Now you have 3 options:

1) Rage Quit

2) Create a new character

3) Create a new character and have someone you know PL you

This game needs a tight grip on all its active players right now, but you can't do much about those that make their own ignorant choices.

You know what the saddest part of all is? Because of that one guy who started all of this, these "OMG I'm transferring away from all of my friends, WTF, SE?!?!?" kept sprouting up. Because according to the OP later in that same thread, SE contacted the guy to try and help.

See what happens when SE does try to help? The floodgates of derp burst open and destroy everything

[Peptaru]

People even predicted this breakdown of said floodgates lol. Do it for one, you gotta do it for all.

Sorry, I don't see any half-assery here. I think it was pretty darn clear.

Unfortunately, this probably isn't what the OP wants to hear but.. considering that the highest dow/dom they have is 35, literally no land classes, and one level 6 hand class. They might as well reroll on durandal.

You mean people, gasp, expect customer support to be able to help you?

You realize that he felt it was necessary to come to the forum for the same reason I felt I had to come to the forum for my issue?

Again, the OP had confusion, and selected to transfer to the realm he was already designated to transfer to, according to the OP. This means the system checked Transfer destination: Said destination was full. The system checked the server he was on [aka the same server], which again checked and found to be full. The system then evidently defaulted him to Ragnarok.

However, I tried to transfer to Durandal when it said it was full [on the off chance that there was a spot that was open at the exact second I would press it], and I believe my server was full as well. I didn't get bumped to Ragnarok. That part doesn't match up quite as well with what happened to the OP.

If the OP was telling the truth, customer service should be able to investigate that claim; resolve his claim, and they retain a customer. If Square Enix can't do things like that, just like what I stated in my thread, then they lose customers.

Also, those of you posting the translation thread as being a reference for everyone to know how to transfer off of the server perfectly is really disgusting. An unofficial translation from someone who could potentially translate false or inaccurate information [not that he does] should not be the primary source of information for a player.

Some of you need to accept that Square Enix doesn't manage their CS well enough and that it will hurt the game over time. This isn't 2002.

Your issue and the OP issue is one's own ignorance vs a bug in a system. There is no way you would have known about that bug however the OP could have found his answer to prevent what has occurred.

If the OP was telling the truth, customer service should be able to investigate that claim; resolve his claim, and they retain a customer. If Square Enix can't do things like that, just like what I stated in my thread, then they lose customers.

So then they would just boot the person that took the OP spot then huh? How fair would that be? Someone gets booted because of some other persons ignorance, so that person can't get the world he had to camp a web page to get.

Also, those of you posting the translation thread as being a reference for everyone to know how to transfer off of the server perfectly is really disgusting.

The OP should have done some research before making hast decisions that would affect him drastically. For me it's the first page but it might be the second for others. Just a little bit of reading and he would have found his answer.

Where have you been? Who here doesn't know how bad SE customer support is? That's why we do our best to avoid needing them.

Sure they could use a better customer support team but I doubt they will turn their machines off anytime before 2.0.
