As per the live stream from Friday at around 20:30, Astral Shards are probably going to be still server specific and NOT transfer over to the 64bit worlds!

Are you taking the the fornicating urine! That is stuff that people have PAID for!

EVERYTHING MUST TRANSFER OVER! OTHERWISE IT IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL!

It shouldn't be difficult.

One possible solution:

Transfer one character over to the new server.
Create a web form for the account to state current amount of shards on old server.
CS checks account on old server (the population isn't in the millions) to confirm count.
CS sets value of shards on old server to zero.
CS gives transfered character a credit note with a code.
CS either credits shard total to transfered character or the code is used in the store to "buy" x amount of shards.

This is a good thing.

If you had one of those super rare astral diamonds drop in a chest before shards came out, they turned into a thing you could click to make 5 shards to transfer them over.

Aaaaand somebody figured out you could put one in the bank and click it infinitely.

Your shard economy's been bugged since the beginning. Maybe they can protect it this time.

That's collective punishment.

I'd disagree. The ones you buy will have a tremendous value compared to the ones you bought on a bugged server.

Your breakeven point will be very low, and then it's all upside.

Only if you use them to trade instead of things within the game like saga skips, loot rerolls, guild stuff, etc. But yeah, their trade value will be much higher.

Then it's pretty simple as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to transfer and will leave the game for good when the current server pop dwindles as a result of those who do transfer leaving.

I've got c.9.5k AS from purchases and from trading over the years (had over 12k before MD rerolling, which illustrates the AS value for me). So I'm not surrendering that. Period.

They could simply refund the value of the AS to DDO Points and allow us to repurchase them post-transfer. Pretty sure this could be automated.

It's very simple SSG. Make the 64 bit endeavour work for your CUSTOMERS. Or don't do it. Or lose them. Those are your options. Choose.👍

I hope this isn't true, because I don't plan on transferring to any server if I can't transfer everything with me. Toons, guilds, shards, pets, mounts, all the content from personal, crafting, and shared banks and TR caches.

I don't mind starting the Monster Manual from scratch (but I won't accept bugged MMs). I also don't mind the raid flag. But the rest should be transferred.

He didn't say 100% no. Same with TR cache. Those aren't guaranteed to be part of the transfer, but it's still a possibility.

To me the TR cache is a bigger deal. It means you need to set your character up for TR before transferring which kind of sucks.

It's easy to earn that first astral shard on a new server to start selling things.

More bad faith by SSG.

Every person who goes over early, starts again and in the process gives up past lives, RXP, AS, guild progress, etc, is a win for them.

Both because SSG didn't have to do the work for full transfers and because those players might spend money getting back to where they were.

And if they get enough people starting fresh, and the improved infrastructure allows them to recruit more players, people on legacy servers are all too likely getting told full transfers are too hard anyway. The company has repeatedly shown it only sees us as cattle at best and cannot be trusted to look after us if it thinks it could replace us.

I can see the attraction of playing on a 64 bit server, but I think it's in the community's best collective interest to stick together and hold off moving until we get a guarantee that everything comes across at no cost and any problems with transfers will be resolved in a timely manner.

Or it could backfire as more players get fed up with their BS and quit playing.

If anything I’ve paid for doesn’t transfer, then I too will remain on the 32 bit server. Ghallanda has worked for me for over a decade, and will continue to work for me in the future. As a solo player, the only impact on me will be diminished auction houses.

It seems that the server transfers, where previously they wanted to make everything transfer and work (as far as I understood it anyway), they are now starting to walk back on more and more specific things they are going to fix.

I wonder how many end up being fixed, when the time for 64bit comes around...

If I was convinced that the shards were all legit, I’d agree with you. Maybe they’ll let us take shards and convert them i to ddo points or something?

I don't care how easy it is to get the first shards to start over. I want the shards I've legitimately obtained. If I can't transfer them, I won't transfer. End of story.

Fair enough I earn and spend shards fast enough I don't mind spending down and starting over.

The xfer needs to be complete.
Both ping and (raid) lag has to be lower.
The MM needs to work. I dont mind starting over with it, but it has to work.

DDO does not have that strong a hold on me anymore in particular due to lag making raids unfun. So, the 64 bit servers have to deliver fully to keep me playing and spending. No room for negatives.

I for one will not transfer if I lose any progress in the game. This includes PLs, astral shards, etc. I am willing however open to set up my toons to TR by emptying the tr cache. I have about 25 toons on my main server that I spent time tidying up each month (mostly bank toons) with 3 mains. I am already devising a plan on how to empty my shared bank and crafting storage upon transfer.

All of this will be for naught if we lose any PL progress, astral shards, etc. I still haven't renewed my sub cancellation and it's stuff like this that makes me keep it off auto renew. Do the right thing ssg. You know what that is.
