Ah, software developing. Love that stuff.
That being said, maybe you shouldn't have used a feature that would end up being a mess, just saying.

[LianaThorne]

The patch has been out for literally 48 minutes and everyone is probably mobbing the feature, maybe give it a sec.

Having to wait is fine.
Having your entire account basically locked down is not.

Not only that account, I tried to log in on an alt account as well, it doesnt work, error 505 every single time, you are basically completely locked out of the game

Then, i assume, it is a different problem with their servers and has nothing to do with the DC travel system.

It isn't just a simple case of logging into a different character while you wait. Consider the fact you cannot cancel the transfer half way through, this means something is happening at the back end that could cause issues if it was stopped halfway through. With this in mind, the Devs are still going to put plans in place for when it DOES happen. This is going to require the server to find your character, make sure nothing was broken (likely by comparing it to a backup) and try and get it back to the home server. All of this takes time. Now, they might also have tested what happens if a character is in this state and you try logging into another character, who knows what could happen to the one stuck in limbo, waiting to get back as you have effectively issued a log out command to a character that isn't even logged in.

Now, I'm not going to claim to be an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but blindly saying that no testing was done, when the complete opposite is most likely true, shows some level of ignorance on the subject.

So it's acceptable that once you start the process on a character on an account, you cant log in on any account at all, no matter the datacenter and world/character, I see. And no, this was not tested in the slightest, else this wouldnt have happened.

Just to ask the question are all the accounts you tried to log in with on the same SE account ie same email? It could be that the problem ties up the the account at SE level rather than the game account level.

No they are not, they are completely separate. They all give the same error, you are literally completely locked out of the game no matter the account.
