Cormyr is open now. Developers will be on periodically during the day as we assess how the server is behaving. You can /joinchannel devchat to see who's on and chat with them!

Hello. May I ask, if someone got error, closing the client? Because i got this, while using my old character. Transfered my barbarian yesterday.
Created a new character - no issue. Now will try to transfer another character and check, if this error appears again.

I'm VIP but seeing the same thing when I click the link. I also went here - https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/how-to-access-lamannia.39/ but when I click on the link to download the client, a new tab flashes for a moment, then disappears.
That's because the download is an EXE file. Browers prevent click downloading of that file type to prevent risks that it's going to do something bad. Right click the download EXE link and do 'save as'.

So we have to play 'red light / green light' for every single character we want to use in the event? ... really?
Why?
Once should be more than enough.

My understanding is that existing servers are not going to be upgraded, because the hardware is completely different, the og being east coast data center, the new 64 machines being housed in las vegas. What I understood was that efforts were underway to figure out how to move unmoveables from server to server - 1. guilds, 2. astral shards, 3. pets, 4. mounts, 5. monster manuals, 6. character names 7. probably something else etc etc

Now as a person who made toons when the servers originally opened in 2006, I have a lot of unique names and I don't wnat to lose them. I have a guild, i have some very rare pets, I have mounts, etc - I don't want to lose any of my stuff to move to a new server - IF they could move me, taking everything intact, i'd be fine with that.

Since they are using a 64 bit server I'm wondering if the tech has a mesh they could use to add a layer of player accounts - similar to what blizzard does for battlenet - allow us to log into the server, to see our account, our account has our unique name - then toons we play are just renamed shortcuts to that account but display the shortcut name -

.....And if there IS a high likelihood of coveted names being lost, then I'd like to see naming restrictions lifted or options expanded to include non alpha characters, etc.
