I need server transfer now!

[Khalette]

Players will be allowed to use the World Transfer Service free of charge from Tuesday, October 15, 2013, to Sunday, October 21, 2013, 01:00 a.m.

Has there been a time announced for when it starts up Tuesday with a timezone?

[ArkhamNative]

SE said it starts after the maintenance is completed, which is scheduled to end: 2am PDT / 10am UK / 6pm JST.
(source -- last white quote box in message)

they said it would take several days before transfer process finished. wonder how long will it take, especially during this free period

It sounded like normally it wouldn't take a long time, but they said, "A large number of players are expected to make use of the World Transfer Service during this free period. As a result, transfers may require several days before processing is complete."

Also, SE said you couldn't log in to other characters under the same service account while one is being transferred. (source) (Most people have only one service account.)

[SirSchmoopyofAwesometon]

I'm excited.. But I don't want to wait days till I can play my character again.

Oh well.

It must be done.

I was thinking... if i have a character in world "A" and a Character in world "B"
and "A" world is in the crowded list, can i exchange these characters data center?

[Hoodcat]

Several days..... I bet that is if everything goes right as planned..... History.... Track record...... Man game be some empty servers for a while.

Have fun!

Wow, so if I don't pay for a month someone can steal my characters name? D:

Please define "active"??

"Active" meaning logging in. If you snooze you loose basically. It will eliminate placeholder toons taking up names.

the info does NOT say you have to repeat quests...

If the transfers take longer than a day ill be pissed and just unsub, it shouldn't be hard. I know some other mmos that can get it done in an hour or less.

EDIT: and I know they said A LOT of people want to use the free world transfer so they should ANTICIPATE that and be ready to take care of everyone that wants the world transfer right away.
